The annual US National Team winter camp is set up because MLS is about to start preseason, and they can put together a squad of domestic based players to take a look at.
It used to be primarily a B-team playing other international B-teams, but now the overwhelming chunk of our international roster plays in MLS. They use the time to take a look at fringe players to see who may need a call up in the future.
Because these are official FIFA international dates, teams don't have to release their players. That generally means that they end up playing countries that are still out for winter break, or that have domestic leagues still in offseason.
Oh, it was a relatively strong lineup for the USA. Jozy, Sasha, MB, Nagbe, Garza, J. Jones, Bedoya all started. Nagbe got his first start ever. Nick Romando was in goal. Zusi started at right back too. Looks like he is getting ready to be converted to defense by Arena. You're such pests...now, what is it you want? In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Well, whatever it is you want, I can't deliver because I just don't see it. - Orson Welles
