Gregg Berhalter called in one final USMNT camp to close out the year, with a roster almost entirely based from MLS ready to face El Salvador. The match itself was a fair bit less close than expected, with the MNT racing to a 5-0 lead within a half-hour. Add in a second half goal, and the team walked away with an astounding 6-0 victory.
As is usually the case with matches with such lopsided scores, it’s difficult to reach any significant conclusions. That was the case with the European-based roster versus Panama, and that’s the case here as well.
