In its first competitive matches since the World Cup, the United States men's national team beat Grenada (7-1) and El Salvador (1-0) to advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Nations League in June in Las Vegas. Given the sizable talent discrepancy in both matches, two wins was the overwhelming expectation, but it was still a valuable pair of games as the team begins the new World Cup cycle in earnest.
It was mostly a first-choice, European-based roster for interim coach Anthony Hudson, who is shepherding the team until a permanent replacement is found.
