Let's get another three points and exorcise a few demons while we're at it.

Kickoff: 5:00 pm ET !!!!
Kingston, Jamaica
Paramount+, Universo

McKennie and Miles Robinson are out with cards and didn't travel. James Sands was added to the roster.

No idea what the score will be or which USMNT will show up. Will they still be tired from Dos-a-Cero? How many different faces will we see in the starting XI as compared to Friday?

I expect the only new faces for this game should be to replace McKennie and Robinson.
It's only 2 games this window, you start your best 11 available, no need for squad rotation.

Richards for Robinson
Busio for McKennie, but it's likely he will opt for Lletget due to familiarity (even though Lletget has performed poorly lately)

Could maybe try Scally for Yedlin to get him some experience on the road

I'd love to see Busio get some good minutes tomorrow night. (I'd prefer him to start, but he's not exactly a like for like sub for Weston.)

Not like for like, but he's probably the next best option for dynamic playmaking in midfield.

I like Pat's 3 changes and hope we see them (but I agree Lletget is more likely, sadly).

I wouldn't be shocked if we saw Acosta get the start either. Berhalter likes going with more experience on the road, but also that sort of backfired last window, so maybe he goes young instead. IDK.

Not sure Scally will start but I can see him and Vines subbing on at LB and RB during the match.

Can we show up ready to take it to them? Did not stand on our heels against Mexico.

I think this group of players like the style Berhalter's implementing and really suits them. Here's to hoping to pressing the crap outta the Reggae Boyz.

We also finally have the speed/athleticism to help blunt their counter attacks.

Heat Index will be around 95 in Jamaica at game time, while Mexico will be playing in 25 degrees.

I'm seeing that Scally won't start and Steffen in goal, but, where are they seeing this?

Oh good. Our Euro players will be in great shape for that temperature.

Lol. Well done.

Clever move for Canada to put the game in Edmonton in November.

If I had the time, I would absolutely make this into Berhalter, Weah, Musah, Pepi and Pulisic.

So will Jamaica's Euro players as well.

I'm hopefully optimistic about the game today. But we also haven't played that well away this cycle. So who knows.

Weather doesn't seem too bad: 82F; 74% humidity; 20% chaince of rain

Hope the team hydrates and doesn't cramp up! (Will take that over freezing to death )

The pitch looks horrible though:

with a mostly empty stadium, i want to see 3 pts and a bunch of away goals.... I believe this is a full-strength JAM squad with their english dual nats almost all in for this match. I think our boys are up for it though!

It was nice of them to at least move the cows off of it for a day or two.

****ing Paramount+. I still don't understand why CBS and NBC think the best way to increase viewership for soccer is still everything behind a damn paywall. If Paramount thinks the new HALO series is gonna make me subscribe vs. just pirate it, they're wrong.

I loved Halo and had no clue this even existed. What a disaster of a streaming service.

A lot like Paramount+, you have to pay for this too.
