      Nah, this will quiet things until Tokyo. Of course if the WNT crash out like they did in Rio there won’t be much noise.

        After that things started clicking.
        And it’s a positive sign they were able to come back and tie things twice. In the past few years they would’ve crumbled after going down 0-1 (TBF they almost did).

        • The playoff matches to determine the last three teams for the Octagonal Round are set. Quick turnaround as it’s played Saturday and Tuesday.

          St. Kitts and Nevis v El Salvador
          Haiti v Canada
          Panama v Cura?ao

          Put up or shut up time for Canada against Haiti, the team that knocked Canada out of the last Gold Cup.

            Would be cool if St. Kitts pulled off the upset, but not expecting anything.

            Technically Cura?ao are the favorites against Panama going by FIFA rankings, but it’s only by two points and two spots.

              Only among the rubes, since the Olympics is a youth event for the men and not a full senior tournament.

                  • So, for those of us who only follow the USMNT every four years (guilty), which of the guys are:

                    A: MUST starters
                    B: Very comfortable starters
                    C: Start only if a depth disaster happens

                        He does that; ignore it.

                        Is the roster I posted the real guys or are there others who for whatever reason will be on the 2022 squad but aren't listed here?

                        Thank you for the response BTW!

                          The guys that are playing during the 4-game stretch here are basically who we will have to start World Cup Qualifying this Fall. So this is basically who we got.

                              Replace "uh oh" with "untested".

                              Most of those guys haven't faced a "real" match in their careers with the USMNT yet. Remember that the last bubble popped in Nov. 2017. Lots of turnover since then.

                              • So why the huge turnover? Or is it huge? My strobe light survey of the men's team was that every WC I would look at the roster and know about half of it from before, and this seemed to persist even as the guys got really, really old. Then this time around I know 4 guys, that's it.

                                Was there a Boomer Generation that worked its way through the lifecycle and they all dropped off at once? Is this their famous "wasted golden generation" (Bradley, Dempsey, Beasley, Howard, Altidore, maybe Donovan but I guess he was proto like Iggy Pop)?
