Copa America Centenario
THIS LINEUP IS FROM...
Charlie
I tried to create a mix of players currently performing well, younger players who will hopefully be the future of the USMNT, and some veterans that can provide leadership and steadiness. GK'ers: I actually wouldn't mine seeing Horvath get some starts but I think he must be included on roster. Going to be really annoyed if it's the aging trio of Rimando, Guzan, and Howard on the roster. Defense: Based on age and potential, Miazga, Brooks, and Yedlin, (CCV too) are the back line of the future....hopefully. Cameron must be included for level of play and ability to play multiple positions. Ream included for flexibility as well but not sure how he's been playing as of late. Castillo included out of left back necessity. Midfield: We need creativity in the midfield so I think we have to include both Nguyen and Nagbe on the roster. I think Zardes has hit a ceiling and I don't need to see more of him at the moment. Potential can be reassessed in the future. I want to see more of D.Williams as he has the potential to fill the JJ role. If we are going to do well, F. Johnson must play in MF not left back. I don't want to see aging Beckerman. Forwards: Pulisic, Wood, Morris are possibly attacking players of future. Jury is obviously still out on them but Wood less so. I truly think he'll be around for awhile. Dempsey in the super sub/veteran role (the one Donovan should have had last WC). I absolutely don't need to see aging Wondo. I think this tourney is more about giving younger guys some experience. I'd rather have Pulisic get some minutes than Wondo score a garbage goal.
