Why did we schedule our Gold Cup Warm Up freindly only 3 days before our first Gold Cup match? Does he want us to be exausted heading into the Canadian match?

I don't think Bradley will be playing many of the stars. I've read at a couple sites today and on Twitter that he's feeling pressure to play the stars in the high-profile match, but will likely not. At least I hope he will not play them. I could see 30 mins to a half for some of the guys who didn't play as much during the club season, but there's no reason to play Dempsey, Donovan, our entire back 4, Howard, etc.

It's a money match. The "stars" of our team will play a half or so.

What is the point then? The USSF is just stupid.

Huge crowd, huge payout, big opponent, big media opportunity

I believe this is the only FIFA day before the Gold Cup. If we didn't play one and lost a game everyone would blame that.

Also, the national team has had trouble drawing fans in Foxborough. This is a marquee game to try and get some of those fans in New England back.
