US up 2-0 in the early going as they seemingly are playing on my Grandmother's old cow pasture.
Should really be about 5-0 by now, but we keep hitting the ball into Cuba defenders posing in the goal and random mounds of turf that pop up like anthills
Field condition doesn't help, I know.

You are stuck playing who you play and it doesn't help. Also, how many of those playing would be considered 1st team players?

These games aren't helpful - if we played so slowly and with so many mistakes against a good team, we'd be punished with goals against. While it's great we're up 4-0 it doesn't prove much.

I understand you are stuck playing who you play - more of a criticism of CONCACAF than anything else. We don't improve playing teams like this and under conditions like this.
As to how many 1st team playesrs - you tell me who Berhalter's "1st team" is these days and I'll be able to answer the question. But I'd guess about 6 or 7 - not an inconsiderable number.

Concacaf...ha, yes about a weak as you can get.
I didn't recognize too many players, that is for sure..
The game was being played in the Cayman Islands, so I'm assuming it was a high school field or something like that.
Well, the last group couldn't even make it out of CONCACAF into the World Cup so a number of them are gone now.
This is just my guess from following what Berhalter has been doing, but I think Guzan, Ream, Yedlin, McKinnie, Morris and Arriola are on his 1st team at present.

The Cuban national stadium (whatever that might be) is under reconstruction so Cuba is playing all its games in this phase at that place in the Caymans that you saw tonight. Really ... just not good visuals.
I saw that pickup truck and the double-wide on the other side of the bleachers.
If that took place at a HS field in the USA, it would be jam-packed w families. Cayman Islands aren’t known for their soccer..
I was wondering where the game was being played. A HS field in the US would have had better field conditions. Cyclone fence, metal bleachers(small one), pickup trucks and construction trailers. Guess VAR wasn't an option.
The Knicks are so bad that I have not watched an NBA game in probably over 20 years.

going to win, proving nothing and buying some breather room for Greg. I feel like as a Giants, Knicks, USMNT fan God has smited me and I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong so I can attone. Its pretty bad when the Giants are the shining beacon of organizational aptitude in your fandom.
The Knicks are so bad that I have not watched an NBA game in probably over 20 years.
Still haven't watched a Knicks game this year. I'm not even sure I'm still a fan. James Dolan is the epitome of everything I hate about this country so it makes it difficult.

Zeke - get a grip man. You are too coherent to say that. Dolan is a turd for certain. Lots of turds out there. Lots of turd sports team owners and Dolan isn't even the worst. I don't lose one minute of sleep over turd sports owners.

Oh yeah if they were competive I'd be able to look past it, but when the owner is a joke of a man at what point do you say fuck it. I actually understand the plight of the Redskin fan. Seriously though who is worse than Dolan? Handed everything in life, treats his team like a tyrant, throws out my favorite player of all time, demands you kiss the ring, insecure little shit that hates drinkers. At least Snyder built his own company and bought the Redskins on his own accord.
Danny boy has him beat. Irsay is right there with Dolan. My top three.

You make a strong case. I may have to reconsider on Danny boy. Tossing Oakley should have led to a suspension from the league office.
Disagree. Part of the absolute beauty of the World Cup is seeing teams from all over the globe playing different types of soccer with different types of players. Having a dominant European World Cup with a few outside teams would be much less enjoyable.
Europe also had the European Cup every 4 years, which at least in part makes up for the difficulty in qualifying for the World Cup from Europe.
