Haiti is happy with the Hondurans doing the Honduran roll arounds ... to get some rest.

Did you go into this thinking it wasn't?

Our best players on the full national team are almost all U-23.

No, we have literally zero representation from Euro clubs in this tournament.

This is literally an MLS U-23 all star team and I do wonder, if we make the Olympics, how many of these guys will be going to Tokyo this summer.

I don't expect the core MNT guys to go, but I wonder if guys like McKenzie, EPB, Otasowie, Hoppe, Mendez, Konrad, etc. enter the fold and push the majority of these guys out.

Even if we lose to Honduras, don’t they still have 3rd/4th place game and winner plays a CONMEBOL team for spot in Olympics?

Does anyone know if Honduras played all their best players in last night's game? Do they lose anyone from yellow card accumulation for Sunday's semifinal against us? Will the late game and one day's less rest be meaningful in the second half of Sunday's game?

They have one player out for yellow card accumulation. He may be a starter but I’m not sure.

Rules change. This isn't 2016.

They mentioned during the game last night that he had played every minute of all three games so far. He has a ton of experience. Hopefully that means it's a pretty big loss for them.
