Away trips in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying can be unusually tough. Travel to the smaller nations in the Caribbean is atypical for athletes used to large jets or custom buses. The fields, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines case a cricket field without adequate lights for night play, have odd patches, or turf, or other quirks. Jurgen Klinsmann and the United States could not take VincyHeat lightly, and they did not. Only two players in the US starting XI did not have MLS experience. Without Clint Dempsey and Micheal Bradley they still dominated to the tune of six-nil.
Bobby Wood started the scoring.
