Unless something changes this match against Haiti is worthless. A nothing match against a Concacaf C team played with our junior varsity alternates...

The Canada match, and any knockout rounds matches will provide useful info going forward.
And honestly this game can be used to rule out players until they prove they should get another look at their club.

To quote Phil Collins, "That's all"
He probably won't do it but I'd sub couple of players off at hhalftime. For sure id take Lewis off
Lewis should never get another sniff at a camp let alone being on any national team roster. It's safe to say that Yueil's a liability at this level and shouldn't be in any more call ups. I'd rather see Williamson or Busio getting playing time the rest of the Gold Cup.

I get it.
If a Confed Cup slot isn't on the line then this tourney is little more than World Cup preparation.
I'm a longtime fan of the GoldCup tournament, I love watching Concacaf matches, so I'll be here no matter what. I just wish there was something on the line, something worth fighting for (I'm not talking about individual players)...

It's like the January friendly window with benefits. You get a trophy to aim for. You get young players used to CONCACAF ****housing. You get to evaluate your bench and possibly some future starters.

Except we're playing a lot of veterans.
Just four that have CONCACAF experience: Acosta, Lleget, Aariola and Zardes. The entire backline is pretty much just breaking into the USMNT.Kevin the 3-legged dog said:deadbq03 said:

4 too many.
They count as the "bench".Kevin the 3-legged dog said:deadbq03 said:

Acosta and Lleget are good bench players. Would rather see Dike or Hoppe in there.
You're not going to start all new lineup in the first match. That would just be assinine.Kevin the 3-legged dog said:akm91 said:Just four that have CONCACAF experience: Acosta, Lleget, Aariola and Zardes.

I imagine the lineup against Canada will be more like what we were hoping to see.
I like these subs.
So close!
Dunno why he's complaining about that, obvious advantage call.
Dike and Busio are cap tied now.
"And liberals, being liberals, will double down on failure." - dedgod
And that's why Acosta should not be more than a sub at best for the "A" team.
Good lord. We need a 2nd to put this away.
Sensational shot. Great save from Haitian keeper.
More of that please.
Hait with a big save there. What a shot.
Lotta passes with no threat or creativity
Killing time. Good strategy.Out in Left Field said:

We're playing Haiti, TF we killing time for?
Sloppy on set piece at the end.
Well that was boring.
What a crazy finish.
That was scary at the end.

Based on play, Canada is winning this Gold Cup lol

They can't win a Stanley Cup, so maybe this is their calling
At least we won tonight. Could've been worse
Could have been Mexico
First game. Juggling lineups. Injuries, players that haven't played together etc. And at best our B team. So just happy to win, hope Thursday they look a bit better and start to play their way in to the tournament,
