Again, workload management is the biggest thing. Giving others chance to earn a spot on the squad. This cup doesn’t mean a lot in the grand scheme of things.

If some of the starters weren’t sitting this out they would have pretty much played a match a week since August of last year and the season starts up in full swing in like 3 weeks. This is the only chance they get to rest all year really.

Agreed. You also need to see which of your "B" team can rise and accept the challenge. Turner is a beast. Right now it seems that Vasquez, Ferrerra, Jones, Mihailovich, and Cowell will give USA soccer something to think about. I love Busio's work ethic, but he is seems to be more of a Kellyn Acosta type player for me. Roldan is consistent but better days behind him. I just cannot get a good read on Sands. I like his grit and there is potential there. The other defenders need to improve before they are ready for the A team.

Way to show up San Diego. What a sorry crowd. Stop holding events in Cali.

 

[NorCalVol67]

This has not been the beautiful game.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

And that's horrible. A team or B team, this is pathetic.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Hell yeah!

 

[DocVOLiday]

Lol back to back games going to PKs. Of course

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This is insane

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Fire them all

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Pathetic loss

Frankly, after watching 240 minutes vs Canada and Panama, I’m not particularly sad that I won’t be watching 90 more minutes vs Mexico to see if we had anything left at all.

Thats embarrassing

5-0 in 2009 was embarrassing. This was a B team that got about as far as they deserved to. I’m just not disappointed Mexico won’t get a shot at doing something that they would desperately, desperately love to try to do.

Not up to USSF in this case. CONCACAF screwed us

 

[theFallGuy]

Have to root for Panama. F Mexico

 

[MAD]

This is mind blowing to me.

 

[NorCalVol67]

If Miami signs Alba and Suarez, they need to change their name to Barcelona SC.

Barcelona Senior Citizens

 

[05_never_again]

This is mind blowing to me.

Me too, but it kind of makes sense. They have a very multicultural, young fanbase that uses a lot of social media. However most of the ones joining since Messi signed are bandwagon fans whose interest will completely evaporate when Messi leaves.

Messi debut or USWNT on your TV tonight?
