Even without the #1 pick in the NWSL draft, Sophia Smith seeing a second of playing time, this team looks to  be a lock to run the table in group play as it is over Wed., the 6p.m. ET kick with Honduras will tell the tale. With a 9-0 drubbing of Cuba and a lopsided 4-0 win over the Dominican Republic yesterday, they are well poised to take the top spot as the next opponent has been outscored 13-1 thus far. The US is already through to the knockout stage, so look for many new faces on the field tomorrow, a win tomorrow gives them the highest finish in the group.

With my last team, it was known as FIFA 5 A Side and the US was a top team in the game, with many players from my Louisville Thunder '86-'87 and a Captain America out of Adelphi later in Mike Windischmann. Now it has been well over a decade since the US last qualified for the Futsal World Cup in 2008. Just who will make the roster?, that is to be determined as they attend Futsal WInter Week in Croatia. But first, Group D of the 2020 Concacaf Futsal Championship is set. May 1-10 in Guatemala with El Salvador with the next game TBD with Nicaragua or Puerto Rico.
