I'd go to that! But I doubt our FA would be the least bit keen to come all the way down here for a friendly, especially with the shambles we're in right now. We have a hard enough time getting players released from their clubs and I'd hate to see the roster we cobbled together for this one. Also, a lot of the criticism our team is facing right now is that we don't play against enough latin american opposition to prepare us for crucial qualifiers - this would hardly help in that regard. 

as for Grenada:

Lol! Grenada is one of many caribbean nations that rarely play friendlies at all due to lack of funds. They even gave up their home fixture against mexico last weekend to play it in Houston (though I can't blame them for that, they probably made way more money than they would have at home)
