Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3905172, member: 405"] The Nations League was the priority. We won it. That team featured all our European based players, plus a decent handful of MLS. Because of the way these events fell on the schedule, look at this as the "final try-out" for MLS guys who are borderline USMNT players before the Qualifiers start next fall. That's it. It's their last try-out before the games all count. No need to get worked up about it. You can't expect European guys to be here for 2 tournaments in 1 summer, after the last 20 months they've all had with COVID, compressed schedules, no summer breaks, etc. These guys are not "The Team", but a handful of them may be contributors, and let's see if the B Team can win this thing. I like the attitude going in. [/QUOTE]
