Wasn't bad run out although I agree with Harry these international pre-season tournaments are detrimental to the game. But you need to for money really.

The MLS season is half way through so they are at their peak. We were missing the WC players but still did alright considering the lack of match practice.

Considering most of the country is apathetic to football and they are still the 13th best team in the world ahead of France and Russia and that the top teams can get 20-30k and USA 94 was the most heavily attended World Cup in history. If they can get a decent percentage of the country on their side and turn MLS into a players retirement into a decent youthful league, they can become a seriously big player in world football.
