There's really not much to say about these two games. The regulars did enough.
Szetela looked poor; I expected better from him. Heath Pearce has the LB spot locked for the foreseeable future after his recent performances. Adu was ordinary after looking extremely impressive in the friendlies.
There has to be another way for teams like Barbados to get a chance, right? I felt bad for them. The US and Mexico should get byes so that countries like Belize and Barbados don't have to be humiliated.

We did get byes to the SF round (coming up in August/September) up until the 2006 cycle. They changed it at the start of last cycle for $$$$ reasons (my opinion). The smaller teams like Barbados make quite q bit of money (compared to their normal take) playing the bigger teams like US and Mexico.
