What To Watch For

... one, so I’ll throw out two. I think Bruce Arena will most likely stick with the two striker set after how productive it was against Honduras, and it will most likely look like this. This is essentially the formation the U. S. ran for the vast majority of the game against Honduras, the only major difference being Ream replacing John Anthony Brooks. And that is a very big loss for the U. S., make no mistake. But the back line still looked stable, and Ream’s experience wins out over Walker Zimmerman in Arena’s mind. Or at least how I imagine Arena’s mind. This is the not-broken, not-fixed lineup. On the other hand, I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Arena trot out something more along these lines. This is the “Let’s just not lose this one” starting XI. Jones is their to give the midfield more bite and prevent counterattacks from starting from further up the field while Bradley sits in the hole. Sacha Kljestan is a very different type of playmaker from Christian Pulisic. Pulisic is all energy, always looking to cut towards goal. Kljestan is a bit more possession-oriented, and ...

Dempsey Returns For March Wcqs

... Jones at first since the Galaxy newcomer is suspended for the Honduras game. His inclusion, contrasted with Chandler’s absence, is due to the fact that Arena doesn’t believe calling in a domestic player for just one game presents a hardship.
