The United States came into their game against Martinique needing a win. After a lifeless draw against Panama, everyone knew that the USMNT had to play better. What we saw was a little better, but it was still a long way from a performance that is going to bring home the Gold Cup.
Bruce Arena made full use of his squad by changing eight of his eleven starters from the Panama game, giving them all a chance to prove themselves. Unfortunately, it meant that fans did not get to see more of Kelyn Rowe or Dom Dwyer, the breakout stars of the team so far.
