MLS standouts are earning top billing in the Group Stage of Concacaf Nations League, which continues its second edition this week as the U.S. Men’s National Team begins its title defense as victors of the 2021 inaugural competition. The Concacaf Nations League is a confederation competition featuring all 41 nations in the Concacaf region, competing across three divisions (League A, League B, and League C), with the four League A group winners and runners up (eight teams) and the League B group winners (four teams) directly qualifying to the 2023 Gold Cup. More information, including the complete schedule of matches, is available on Concacaf.com.Nashville SC’s Anibal Godoy and Houston Dynamo FC’s Adalberto Carrasquilla will lead Panama on Thursday against Martinique at Estadio Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez in Panama City, Panama (8 p.m. ET, Paramount+). Notching a goal and an assist in MLS play this season, Godoy is starring for the one of only three MLS teams that remain unbeaten at home. Meanwhile, on the international scene, he most recently found the back of the net during a World Cup qualifying match against the USMNT on March 27. This tournament provides the perfect opportunity for Godoy to refine and ramp up his attack, while it gives Dynamo FC midfielder Carrasquilla more mainstay minutes with his national team.After the USMNT’s captivating inaugural Concacaf Nations League win over Mexico in 2021, the second dose is already building up that same level of excitement. The USMNT will first face Grenada on Friday at Q2 Stadium in Austin (10 p.m. ET, ESPN+ / UniMás / TUDN) before playing their last match of the international break on Tuesday, June 14 against El Salvador (10 p.m. ET, FS1 / Univision / TUDN).Concacaf Nations League Group Stage matches take place during the June 2022 and March 2023 FIFA international windows before the Concacaf Nations League Finals presented by Qatar Airways (CNLF) will be played in June 2023 and will feature the four League A group winners.
