It brings 4th more into play, which could potentially play CONMEBOL for a WC spot.

Get a win and you become overwhelming faves for top 3.

a draw wouldn't hurt. a draw is an excellent result. just look at that away wins graphic someone posted itt weeks ago. away wins in ClOlNCACAF WCQ are hard.

one of the strengths in these qualifying windows is having depth. being fresher in game #2 and game #3 of a window is an advantage. well, you have to use your depth to realize that advantage.

I mean I think a draw wouldn’t be terrible but the US really should win this game. Idc if you play on the road in concacaf…… a draw is not something that should make a team happy or content when you have the more skilled players.

Not a fan of starting zardes up top. Think he’s a better super sub when players are tired.

Think I would rather have the A team at Panama and the B team home against Costa Rica instead

i hear you and understand all this. that said, history tells us a draw away at PAN during the last round of WCQ is a good result.

Yah, and could've played some of these guys vs. Jamaica also and saved some big guns for Panamá.

Using your weakest squad of the entire 5 match campaign for this match is questionable.

Turner the man. He should stay the starter for the long run.

Turner always looks like someone just woke him up ten minutes before a match that he forgot about.

That was posted yesterday when someone asked the same question you did so hopefully your tickets showed up last night or this morning.
It did not but the charge still there. So I have hope still I guess. Weird.

I mean I agree not losing points is most important- a loss here would be pretty bad. I just come from a standpoint that I don’t want to us team or need a result in the last 1-2 games if possible. We saw what happened last cycle- if you need a win in the last game, it’s a really bad spot for a top 3-4 concacaf team.

As we give up a goal now. Not good.

totally get it. we are without 4 key players (PuliGOAT, Weston, Antonee and Reyna). arguably our 4 best players. this was never going to be easy without the 4 of them.

Any team has "depth" if you are willing to play absolute trash

Fully expecting this 8 minute injury timeout to net 4 minutes extra of stoppage.
