And does Mexico have any covid restrictions at Azteca?

Even if they currently do, they won’t when the US comes to town

If Adams gets a yellow card against Mexico he is out for the Panama game. That said, Acosta plays fine against concacaf opposition (even Mexico) and had a fantastic game yesterday, so I wouldn’t be super uneasy about having to play him against the Panamanians.

I'd be ok with Acosta playing in Azteca just to make sure we have Adams for Panama. Shithousing and setpieces would probably fit better for Mexico anyway, although one of the main reasons we dominated Mexico last time was because our MMA midfield was so much better than Mexico's midfield.

Also, for all his faults, Gregg has been to Tata what Herdman has been to Gregg lately.

This really is what makes the final window so interesting. The first game frankly doesn’t matter. The US is in with a win over Panama and a tie at Costa Rica. How much gas/energy do you spend at Mexico?

Given this might be the weakest Mexican team in a long time I hope and assume GGG plays it straight and goes best 11.

Tickets for that game are reasonably priced right now, and flights to Orlando are cheap AF, will very likely be going to the game. We play well in Exploria (4-0-0) so I feel good about a result, especially with Reyna hopefully back.
My flights and hotel are booked and my tickets are purchased.

Beating Mexico helps us but not that much. We need to beat Panama.
Honestly, just grind out a draw with some B teamers and get the win against Panama with our best strength 11.

Given the difference in goal differential with CR (CR is 8 behind us), a tie in Azteca essentially does the same as a tie in CR.

Acosta played well in both the nations league and Gold Cup finals this summer as well

Do we have anyone else on yellows besides Adams?

Also, hopefully Reyna is back and in form by late March. He's got a lot of "frick you's" to dish out to these shithole countries.

Confirming with my wife if we are going to a wedding that weekend, and booking tonight if we aren't. Did you get AO tickets are general admission?

Stubhub has the cheapest tickets around 100 bucks right now.

I think I’ve talked myself into going. Is the stadium a manageable walk from downtown hotels, or any recommendations on where to stay?

I saw them for around $125 on SeatGeek with fees this morning.

There’s a Marriott that’s pretty nice close to Exploria I stay at, but I’m a Bonvoy member. It is walkable but it involves walking through the hood. I’ve always been told not to walk it, but not sure how dangerous it really is. The area around the stadium is super cool though, I’ve enjoyed every OCSC game I’ve been to there way more than Camping World.

Last time we played Panama in a WCQ in Orlando.

It's been a minute since we've had a match where Pulisic just takes the frick over. I miss that player.

I miss explosive Pulisic but that clip makes me miss having a reliable striker even more. If only Bobby wood and Jozy could have had normal career trajectories.

FYI: Hector Herrera will be out for Mexico in their game against us due to yellow card accumulation. Chucky Lozano is probably highly doubtful as well with his dislocated shoulder.

That clip made me miss Ian Darke.
