The qualifier in Havana is about to kick off, so we figured it would be a good time to check in on the ol’ depth chart. We’ve taken the player ratings from America’s top soccer writers and averaged them for you, in the hope that it will provide some insight into the players’ performance. Below are the averages after the first three qualifiers against Barbados and Guatemala. Not much to look at yet, but hopefully the numbers will start to take shape in the coming months…
