Given the rosters are so influx, until we get a good idea of what teams can do what it's all guessing. So with that in mind what do you think the best matches will be for the first two games in the first window of this new qualifying system?
Games I got an eye on?
Puerto Rico vs. United States
USA's X squad against one of the more capable teams in their region. Technically a road game though in the US, could still be a road crowd depending on turnout
United States vs. Mexico
US again takes on one of the better teams in their region with the X squad. Home game, but unless tickets are $1 not expecting a huge home court advantage.
Dominican Republic vs. Canada
Neither team is close to full strength, both should come out of this group, good statement game.
Montenegro vs. Spain
If this was A squad vs A squad, I'd say Spain easy, but new squad for Spain in what could be a hostile environment.
Lithuania vs. Poland
Really I just want to see a Lithuanian home game against a decent side.
Croatia vs. Italy
The two teams should advance but a potentially decent game in the former Yugoslavia has my attention
