I'm not sure if Berhalter is completely settled on the rest of his roster. He prob has an idea of what his ideal XI is, but he knows that they won't play together as a unit often, so I guess GC is solidifying the rest of the roster, and CNL is best possible XI against HON and MEX (or whoever).
RIP Guillermo Romulo, Alexander Francis Orig, Celenio Eleazar, and my Mom, Resurreccion Eleazar.
RIP Cesar Castello, Mike Vallo, Glenn Stampiglia, Bob Paquette, and Warren Lee

I wouldnt completely say the Nations League and Gold Cup are useless. Gives the Coach a chance to settle of the roster and starting 11 for Qualifiers.
Yes but not for us this round. We already qualified for the top group
We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.
Honduras should have had 2-3.

FTFY. Don't know how Sargent cleared off the line.
One of the most impressive goalline clearances I've ever seen!
Ream against the Galaxy however many years ago is in the mix too

Mexico looked worse last night. Im not concerned about the US as the roster has a lot of talent...
I always felt prior teams played at a level greater than the sum of their parts - this one, not so much. Something seems to be missing in their IDENTITY.
Add in Adams and Long, and I think the whole team looks more solid. Adams has the skill to free up other midfielders and Long has that underdog edge that this generation of USMNT doesn't seem to have enough of.
I'm still not sold on Berhalter - he seems to be a good recruiter for dual nats, but does not seem like a tournament coach.
