Instead of bringing up some more MLS guys looking for their first shot with the Nats or some

What a difference a week makes for the US national team. First they had a nice result in the

the mother of all logistical nightmares. And how will CONCACAF ever make a profit from operating a
tournament in thirteen stadia? The federation is boasting that no other continental tournament has
been conducted at so many locations, and only two World Cup finals have been played in a larger
quantity of stadia.
