On Friday, Grenada visits Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, the US men's national team will transition from friendlies to the CONCACAF Nations League. 

El Salvador and Grenada met twice in four days, with Grenada drawing 2-2 at home on Tuesday after losing 3-1 in El Salvador on June 4.

The Yanks have two CNL matches in five days to catch up to the field. 

Grenada has not won a game in either 2021 or 2022, with the tie against El Salvador being one of only two wins (Gibraltar in Gibraltar on March 23). Since June 4, the Spice Boys have lost 3-0 to Charlotte FC and 1-0 to Andorra, following losses to Panama, Qatar, Honduras, Montserrat, and Antigua and Barbuda. 

With a far stricter road test against El Salvador coming up a few days later, there are plenty of reasons for Gregg Berhalter to trust his depth after a 0-0 draw with Uruguay and a 3-0 win over Morocco. 

Grenada has never lost to the United States, with victories of 3-0 and 3-2 in 2004 and 4-0 in 2009. Usually, a multi-goal triumph would be expected, but the Americans must finish their chances, which they did not do against Uruguay. 

In 2022, Gregg Berhalter's finishers have had a bit of a feast or famine run, going scoreless against Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Uruguay while scoring numerous goals against Honduras, Panama, and Morocco. 

After a dramatic all-time match, the Americans are the reigning Nations League champions. 

What can we take from the United States Men's National Team match and Grenada? 

The most prominent 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 desire to depart John Brooks out of the squad manner that there's a shallower pool of middle backs than ever, with Walker Zimmerman proving himself worthy of a beginning spot; however, Chris Richards' harm preserving him from laying declare to a spot. 

Aaron Long has earned two-instantly starts.

The gritty New York Red Bulls stalwart is an all-hands-on-deck-and-all-coronary heart defender who's restrained 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 is forward. Jesus Ferreira earned possibilities, however, and did no longer end them in opposition to Morocco and Uruguay; however, Grenada ought to show a possibility for a confidence boost. Haji Wright and Timothy Weah might, in all likelihood, choose the one's possibilities, too, 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 Duke, and Ricardo Pepi are the most-stated names of a deep group.
