I'd take 2-1 and be neutral about it. This team is far too talented (including the coach, finally) to be happy with a draw against anyone in Concacaf other than Mex at Azteca. 

Our history in Jamaica isn't great and we're going to be without Balo, Weah, Adams, and Dest. I think it's going to be a pretty ugly game.

I hear ya - I'm hopeful we have a team that can (finally) overcome a few missing players and still take care of business like they should. Much like the true top national teams do.

This is the first game we will get to see how Poch is changing the culture of the USMNT. This type of game was one where GGG would play it safe and generally it would cost us big time.

This is the proper take - this team is too damn talented to play it safe. Against most of CONCACAF, it should always be attack attack attack. And we should win the bulk of these games.

we have plenty of talent to handily win this game and i expect us to do so, 4-1

i expect trusty to start at left center and be a revelation

i also expect normal concacrap shenanigans to be in remission - any jamaican player that has any hope of a european payday won't dare commit assault on a multi-million-pound/euro asset in front of a coach connected to the top echelons of european football across the continent

So I was kind of curious about this, so I looked it up:

US has 20 wins, 3 losses and 10 draws overall. Weirdest thing is that we've only played them in matches since 1988.

Of those 33 matches, only 10 are in Jamaica. US record: 3 wins, 1 loss, 6 draws.

Not great, but not awful. 

Those results by year:

1988 D
1994 W
1997 D
1999 D
2001 D
2003 W
2004 D
2012 L
2013 W
2021 D
