I mean Nations League and friendlies are better than zero soccer whatsoever, but I’m not thaaaaat hyped to watch a game against lower level CONCACAF opposition if it’s not a competitive match (and even early round Nations League games are hard to get excited for).

I don’t include Copa America/Gold Cup in here because those aren’t mid season games.

Same, I’m a US-based fan and only get excited for when the USMNT is playing meaningful competitive games, which during the season really just means WCQs
