Main goal was to bring in young players and give them experience playing against CONCACAF teams in a competitive environment. They have accomplished that and we saw some players doing well while others shown they're not ready yet to play in men's national team.
Older players like DeRo aren't going to be playing for us in next WCQ so there was no point of bringing them especially during their season.
This may be the team that will have to qualify for the next Gold cup. I couldn't blame the decision if it comes to pass. I'd also embrace more games.
