The pace was horribly slow. With the messy touch of some of the USMNT players and rookie mistakes (passing directly to opposing team)—they would have gotten killed by an England, Spain, Germany, etc.

It was 2-0 in the first 6 minutes.

I mean Cuba is ranked #147. I would go patting ourselves on the back.


Mexico beat the same Cuba team by the same score in the last gold cup.

And yet the US couldn’t qualify for the WC out of this “crap competition.” And round and round we go. Maybe playing the US is holding El Sal back?


No decent team is helped by facing very poor competition on the regular. It may even contribute to complacency, which might lead to playing down to the level of the crap competition and even losing, like last cycle. You seem to need to have everything spelled out for you. Every time this topic comes up, in any form.

Hahahaha. JK sucked. We can’t make that judgement until at least one WC cycle for GB. Sorry.
