Alternately, this post could steal the title of a Queens of the Stone Age son, "Quick and to the Pointless."
Nothing against Haiti, but Saturday night's U.S. Gold Cup group B match in Foxborough, Mass., represents the lowest ebb in the busy summer of 2009.
With Freddy Adu shipped back to Portugal, there's really not much of interest here. And if Kenny Cooper doesn't get the start up front and play at least 70 minutes, well, might as well figure something else to do on a Saturday night.
Haiti, you'd assume, is a little more competitive than Grenada but still not on the level of the U.S. Beating and or dominating a team like Haiti simply doesn't prove that much for the U.S. at this point. The aren't too many positives from a match like this, only negatives.
In all honesty, this match is a darn near close to a friendly, albeit without six subs, as you can find.
Maybe Jimmy Conrad can at least get a sympathy start.
So put on the uniforms correctly, don't get hurt and we'll reassess things next week.
