Huge hole.

This was always going to be a tough window after the success of the last one. The players are being told by the press and public to assumed to have 1.5 feet on the plane to Qatar after Edmonton. Most improved FIFA team award etc etc.

Now, a game away in unfavorable conditions, then back for a US team that won't be surprised, and then back to a third world country. Missing your best player and a player who is used to the pressures, more than maybe anyone, of high level games, even though he is young, can't be replaced. I do trust Herdman to do his best, but a bit of arrogance by the team, and or a bit of bad luck, and these three games could go bad.

Given this news, already in an situation where I think it was going to be a tougher window then people are making, anything more than 3 points in this window will be a success IMO. Some help on the OOT scoreboard would be nice.
