(author's note: With an abbreviated MLS schedule and no national TV games, the weekly MLS open thread took this weekend off. So let's borrow that weekly format for today's USMNT game and highlight the other Sounders in action.)
Three Big Storylines:
- Friday saw the USMNT pull ahead of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with a comfortable 3-0 halftime lead. The second half looked to be a grind it out uneventful half to just leave the Caribbean with a comfortable 3-0 win and no injuries. Then Jurgen Klinsmann made his substitutions. Sacha Kljestan (66'), Christian Pulisic (67') and Jordan Morris (72') came on for Alejandro Bedoya, Fabian Johnson and Jozy Altidore respectively.
