If Columbus has always turned out for the USA, why isn't the game sold out.
The United States Men's National Team is up against it. The loss in Guatemala was a big setback, but the team is coming back to the dependably, satunchly partisan crowd in Columbus. Home, a packed house fully behind the Americans.
Or not.
There was some of the usual handwringing about attendance. Is it fans rebuking a struggling United States team or is it a soft market that struggles to turn out for a non marquis game? Both answers are unsatisfying given recent history.
