This XI is (my opinion) the absolute best mix of progressive skill and discipline. People question Nagbe and Pulisic in the starting XI, but they have the ability to get the US out ahead. 60 min subs of Jones and Zusi could solidify the team if/when ahead late. Johnson at LB allows his skill going forward to pop up on occasion, and still be solid defending. And Bradley as a true 6 makes the team run as it should.
