Against a weaker opponent and it being the second game of the tournament, it's a good time to shake things up a bit as the previous line-up essentially had two games one row. Perfect time before the knockout round to experiment so Roldan should get a chance (if not now then when?) I'd have the two centre mids lie deeper than Rowe and Arriola similar to Arena's formation against Honduras in the March qualifier. We know what Besler/Gonzalez offers at this point so I'd like to see Miazga tested in this game, if not him then Matt Hedges. I feel the Zusi experiment needs halted and it's time to give Lichaj his due opportunity to show why fans in some quarters have been clamouring for his inclusion for years. Also feel if Morrow isn't tested now then will he ever? The other note is that I would like to see how Dwyer operates with someone playing up top with him and Agudelo would be a good tonic for him. It would make no sense to replace Guzan on goal especially after his performance against Panama, if perhaps play Hamid in the final group game pending a necessary and expected 3 points on Wednesday
