March Qualifiers were full of question marks for the USMNT. How was Bruce Arena going to line his team up? Who would he pick? And was the team good enough to expect results against normally stingy teams in Honduras and Panama?
This time around, we know who Arena’s core players are, we have a better idea of the level of the team, and the stakes are clearly defined as well. The U.S. sit in fourth place, CONCACAF’s play-in qualification spot, and will play at home to Trinidad & Tobago before heading to the Azteca for a rematch against Mexico.
