USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter makes four changes to the starting XI that faced Cuba, inserting Zack Steffen in goal, Aaron Long and DeAndre Yedlin on the back line and Michael Bradley in central midfield.
than wingback/LB.
Floating like Messi at Barcelona. All over centrally.
I think Pulisic has to stay wide (though he will drift in no matter, that's fine) and McKennie will stay central. Who is the other midfielder, though?
Also, is Sargent going to be benched because he played 90? I sure hope not.
It will definitely be an interesting match.
Lletget or Roldon will be the other midfielder with Morris on the right.
Sargent apparently still has a knock picked up in the Cuba game. If Sargent starts, I think it will be evidence that he is the clear #2. I'm betting that Gregg will start Zardes.
I keep hearing that Gregg is "gentle" with "his group" and that if you get a call, you'll probably at least dress. I heard that in relation to Wil Trapp who did not dress for Cuba. I fear that Zardes will get to play because of that concept. I also think that's why we will at least see Yedlin.
I didn't like Gregg from the first because of my tin-foil hat hatred of the USSF, MLS, SUM, Don Garber, Jay Berholter, etc. but the more I see of Gregg, the more I specifically do not like him or his management of this team.
