This is a game the USA is expected to win, which means it won't get much credit for taking three points - and there will be the usual lamenting and wailing if the team is perceived to struggle to get the expected result.
But Nicaragua has recently made a habit of being at least a challenging opponent for heavier-weight teams. So the USA should be expected to be made to work hard for a win. Which is to say, if USMNT loses - yes, that's a disappointing result. If it labors somewhat on its way to a win - that should be more or less the expected passage of this game. And if the home team runs away with the match, perhaps a little credit is due the B-teamers striving for places in Bruce Arena's thoughts for World Cup qualifying later this year.
