No one's talking about it because Arena and the team treated it like a scrimmage game. It seems that the main objective was to get a look at some new players before settling into a more set roster for next year. I've had several discussions with co-workers about who looked good and who didn't, but not in the context of winning or losing the game. In fact, Wednesday's game against Panama will have an even less experienced squad, and no one's complaining about that.
That's one of the big differences between US soccer and the rest of the world. England and Poland are playing an inconsequential qualifier this week, and I'll bet that both those teams are fielding the best they have (excluding the injured and suspended). A poor showing, even if it means nothing but pride, will bring down the scorn of the press and the fans.
Bruce Arena has the best gig in international sports. He's coaching a top 10 team (at least according to FIFA rankings), and no one complains when they lose. In fact, we're gleefully surprised when they do well.
