Zendejas showing a little emotion makes him the man of the match for us…quite a low bar, but accurate IMO.
It's also a coach that knows what a friendly is to most big clubs.....a joke. It also wins favor with your most senior players and reduces the risk of injury. That was an audition for others to step up in the starters absence, they did not. Friendlies during the club season are a waste of time and resources, but a necessary evil. That was a match for people who aren't on the roster for 26 to step up and make a name for themselves in front a new HC, they didn't.We didn't have a single player out there tonight that could threaten Mexico offensively. Not 1. I guess that's what happens when you send the A Team home before playing your rival. What a joke!

An out of cycle friendly that means nothing in the middle of the club season where some of your best players are already playing 2-3 times a week....zero issue with this at all. I remember the US fans crying when GB did the same thing and had his MLS guys out there for friendlies. If you needed a W last night to realize USA >>> Mexico that is fine, but I don't. That is a big time manager making friendly with big clubs for when he does actually need them. Someone who had to see his best players leave during a season and possibly get injured. Big picture....this means nothing at all.Problem is we've been dominant against our rival for awhile now. They knew we were better and had overtaken them. Now after lastnight they have hope again after that dominating performance.
I understand what you're saying but I don't think Mexico was the right match to play without your best players.
