It was so weird that the most significant game the USMNT has played in months felt so entirely irrelevant and pointless. I really did feel genuinely BAD for the entire country of Barbados while watching. It was like watching a team playing that game “world cup” after practice.

I think with the the +8 its time to relax for a tcik. I agree with B-dub. Time to tinker and not just a little and give some players a much deserved rest. Something like this:

—————————–Guzan—————————

Gibbs (is he healthy?)—–Calliff——–Sammy Ochoa—–Tyronne Marshall

———————————EDU————————-

Sasha Klejstian——————————————Robbie Rogers

——————————–ADU————————

—————–Kenny Coooper—————–Altidore—————–

Yea, something crazy like that. basically the u-23 team

It’s good to go out and drub a team when you are expected to, so I’m glad we took care of business. Although, after the pressure and anticipation of the recent friendlies and the great games being played in Europe, today’s qualifier lacked much emotional substance.
I’m increasingly pleased with Pierce and Cherundolo in the back, and I thought Freddy showed Again that he is a viable option when we need to push the attack. Really, they all looked pretty good.
5-0 up is the only time EJ should see any playing time. That was a quality finish though, regardless of the oponent.
Definitely the worst kits I’ve ever seen on the Barbados lads. Insult upon injury. I did like the guy that came on as a sub in the 2nd half who had tailored his sleeves so he looked like an american football player without the shoulder pads. Quality.
