Uruguay ranked # 15 by FIFA and U.S.A. IS # 16. Pulisic hurt again. Will Luis Suarez play in the game for Uruguay?? Suarez suspended because of kicking a Nashville player. Same old Luis Suarez.
Newsflash!! U.S.A. 5 - Uruguay 1. Alex Freeman shreds the Uruguayan defense for a brace and Sebastian Berhalter looks really good on his free kick goal. Throw in Diego Luna's indefatigable work ethic and goal, along with the beautiful header from Tanner Tessmann off of a Reyna or Berhalter deflectedpass. This was the 'Full Monty' total performance.
Falorin Balogun, can score with strength and speed. Combine him with Gio Reyna and that is a lethal combo. Now we add Berhalter into the mix.
We still are waiting to see the full complement of players on the field at one time. Just one question, why do other teams play thru their injuries and we don't? Will be anticipatng the tandem of Pulisic and Reyna up top.
I like the 4-3-3-1 formation with Balogun up top. The 3 behind him would be Reyna, Pulisic and Weah (where has he been???), Diego Luna
The defensive mid-field could be McKennie, Dest ,Robinson, Tyler Adams
Defense would be Tim Ream, and a host of othersi.e. McKenzie, Roldan, Miles Robinson, Chris Richards
Mauricio Pochettino may have too many rostered players. I guess this is a luxury. See you in March for the next series of friendlies.
