The United States men's national team moves from friendlies to the CONCACAF Nations League on Friday when Grenada visits Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas.
The Yanks have two CNL matches in five days to catch up to the field after El Salvador, and Grenada squared off twice in four days, with Grenada picking up a 22 draw Tuesday at home following a 31 loss in El Salvador on June 4.
Grenada has not won a game in 2021 or 2022; the draw with El Salvador is one of just two Non-losses (Gibraltar, in Gibraltar, on March 23). The Spice Boys have lost 30 to Charlotte FC and 10 to Andorra after losing to Panama, Qatar, Honduras, Montserrat, and Antigua and Barbuda, dating back to June 4.
With a much tougher El Salvador away test a few days later, there are plenty of reasons to believe Gregg Berhalter might hand chances to his depth following a 00 draw with Uruguay and 30 wins over Morocco.
Kickoff: 10 pm ET Friday
All-time collection leader: Grenada – zero wins, USA – three wins, Draws – zero.

The Yanks have in no way misplaced to Grenada, triumphing three-zero and three-2 in 2004 and 4-zero in 2009. The expectation might commonly be for a multi-intention win; however, the Yanks have to complete their probabilities, which did now no longer appear towards Uruguay,
Gregg Berhalter's finishers had been on a piece of a dinner party or famine run in 2022, close out through Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Uruguay, scoring a couple of dreams towards Honduras, Panama, and Morocco.
The Americans are the reigning Nations League champions after a thrilling, all-timer of an extra-time win over Mexico nearly precisely a yrs. Ago.
The most important questions for the Yanks as they put together for the World Cup are up pinnacle and on the back.
Miles Robinson's Achilles harm and Berhalter's preference to go away John Brooks out of the squad method that there's a shallower pool of middle backs than ever, with Zimmerman proving himself worthy of a beginning spot; however, Chris Richards` harm maintaining him from laying declare to a spot.
Aaron Long has earned two-immediately starts. The gritty New York Red Bulls stalwart is an all-hands-on-deck-and-all-coronary heart defender who's restricted as a passer. Erik Palmer-Brown (Troyes) and Cameron Carter-Vickers (Celtic) are also in camp. Whether we see one after Zimmerman or each at the pitch instead of Grenada will offer additional context.
The different query is middle forward. Jesus Ferreira earned probabilities and did now no longer end them towards Morocco and Uruguay; however, Grenada has to show a possibility for a confidence boost. Haji Wright and Timothy Weah might also choose the one's probabilities, even though Weah is a winger for the club.
While there isn't a Brooks-degree omission among the middle forwards, Berhalter has a pool of them no longer in camp: Josh Sargent, Daryl Dike, and Ricardo Pepi are the most-noted names of a deep group.
