ASN Morning Read: It's U.S. Game Day in Foxborough
Coming off a fairly underwhelming opening win, the Americans look to put on a better performance against Haiti in the second match of the group stage with the chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
- It’s on tonight, with the United States facing Haiti at Gillette Stadium in the second group match. Haiti actually has an all-time winning record against the U.S., though all five of its victories came from 1968-1973. The last time these teams met was in the 2009 Gold Cup, when Stuart Holden scored that late goal to salvage a draw.
- How would you line the team up tonight?

- The new FIFA World Ranking is out and the U.S. slipped from No. 27 to No. 34 but became the highest ranked team in CONCACAF. Mexico dropped 17 spots to 40 and Costa Rica fell 27 spots to 41.
