USA v. Jamaica; 2021 Friendly: What We Learned

The USMNT faced off against Jamaica in Austria and came away with a 4-1 win and a really fun performance. This continues the trend (four games in a row now) of winning big in friendlies, particularly against CONCACAF opposition. This performance was particularly noteworthy because Jamaica are actually a decent team. Up to this point, I’ve been forced to make caveats for each of the teams the USMNT has faced going back to November, that the quality of the opposition was poor and that players were forced to miss because of COVID restrictions. And there are still caveats to this Jamaican team (players missed because of COVID precautions, players missed because of a federation pay dispute, an abundance of new, uncapped players).
