USMNT Team News

Pochettino's biggest call of the summer has paid dividends after Matt Freese came up massive in the penalty shootout.

Eyes are on Malik Tillman to see how he recovers after a physical game against Costa Rica. The creative midfielder has been arguably the USMNT's best player this summer. He's pivotal to how Pochettino wants to play with the emphasis on the No. 10 role.

The defense should remain unchanged, but keep eyes on the striker. Patrick Agyemang, while frustrating defense at times with his physicality, has left something to be desired in the box at times. Brian White was a late substitute for the shootout and could get a start up top. If White starts and performs, he could be the go-to option for a final pending advancement.
