Presumably, US/CAN/MEX won't participate in qualifying since we'd have auto-bids. But with the recent announcement about a Nations League designed to foster more intra-federation matches, our "competitive" matches would be against the Jamaicas of CONCACAF, and even those nations would probably send B-squads to inconsequential friendlies. I really hate the regionalization of friendlies.

We're going to play Mexico 20 times *
