Denmark is no joke, although they are without several of their biggest stars. The USA will look to start strong and put the Danish side on their heels early. There are several lineup possibilities with this roster - it's easy to see a 4-3-3. I think however, that JK has learned that Jozy performs better with a strike partner. I have picked Aron, but it could easily be Rubin who, though not starting, has been one of the most consistent Americans in Europe this season. It was a toss up between Ream and Alvarado - who I suspect we will see at some point. Ream gets the start I think, based on form, but both are in fine form to be sure. Garza is the new LB - especially since FJ has played wing for Gladbach. JK will want to continue that trend and is assured with Garza fully capable of locking down LB. Chandler or Yedlin? Chandler, because he's in form and also having a solid season with Frankfurt. Lastly, Rimando starts but either Cropper or Yarbrough (hopefully both over the course of these games) should see time.
