2021 Gold Cup Recap: USA 1-0 Haiti - An adequate win to start the tournament

In an overall uninspiring performance, the USA came away with a 1-0 win over Haiti thanks to an 8th minute Sam Vines goal. Overall, the game could be characterized as uneven as the USA spent much of the game failing to break down Haiti as Le Grenadiers managed to hold the Americans to just one goal and have a punchers chance at a point for the whole game. Out of 10, the game was maybe a 3, 3.5 at best, perhaps the ball was covered in BBQ sauce or something.

I was not exactly expecting to be totally right about everything when I tweeted this but one out of two isn’t bad:

Can’t explain how stoked I am for the Euro final to be a turgid grind that Italy wins 1-0 and then for the USMNT to beat Haiti 5-1 and every @USMNT_highT_alpha_only account to yell about the C team not being that good really
