The first international break for the U.S. men's national team is an important one.
Instead of playing in two international friendlies with no significant implications, the USMNT will be competing in the business end of the Concacaf Nations League.
The U.S. has a semifinal game against Jamaica at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, on Thursday, March 21. The other semifinal is Panama vs. Mexico and will transpire after the first game.
If the U.S. advances, it will meet the winner of Panama/Mexico in the final on Sunday, March 24. If it loses, it will face the other loser in the third-place game, also on the same day.
