What we learned from the USMNT against Jamaica, and Angel City’s first jersey is out.
Happy Thursday, everyone. Thank you to Ben for switching Freedom Kicks with me this week as I was in Jamaica until just a few hours before writing this for the USMNT match Tuesday night. For those who will be in Louisville this weekend for the NWSL Final, I will hopefully see you there!

We break down what we can take from the USMNT’s draw down at The Office against Jamaica.
Speaking of the USMNT, this update from Steven Goff on where their away qualifier against Canada could be, and what that would mean for the home matches during that window:
If Canada finalizes the match in Hamilton (or elsewhere in East), US would play its first and third games of window in East/Central. Wouldn’t be surprised if Columbus gets a cold-weather match vs El Salvador or Honduras. TBD.
