After months of sprinting through the Ocho and World Cup qualification the USMNT has made it and for the first time since September enter a stretch where the next major USMNT match isn’t for months (longer if you’re primarily focused on the World Cup cycle). Short term injuries become much less significant while player development and growth become more measured but also more important for the long term health of the team. There are no matches on Friday but there is that last piece of the World Cup puzzle as the draw determines who the team will face.
