USMNT told to 'eliminate' players from Copa America contention after dismal Jamaica showing as frustrated Eric Wynalda highlights 'glaring issues'

The USA were fortunate to snatch victory at the death against Jamaica having been particularly sub-par for much of the 90 minutes. Haji Wright won the game for the USA in injury time and they ran out eventual 3-1 victors in a scoreline irreflective of the performance. Ahead of the USA competing at the Copa America this summer, Wynalda has called on tough decisions to be made.

Posting on X, Wynalda said: "I’m rewatching the US Jamaica game. It’s not as bad as it felt watching it live but still there are glaring issues. We could eliminate players from ever contending for a roster spot at Copa America after this game."

As Wynalda suggests, there will have to be some important decisions on who makes the squad ahead of the tournament. The main cause for concern is in the midfield where the previously impressive trio of Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and Yunus Musah may be changed to accommodate Gio Reyna, who came off the bench to provide two assists on Thursday.

The USMNT face off against Mexico on Sunday determined to make amends for their near blushes against Jamaica. Wynalda will be watching on to see if those strugglers can turn their fortunes around.
