    The roster numbers should give you a hint.

    O'Neill and Ocegueda make me chuckle in these pictures.

    ---------------Trapp
    Ocegueda-Stanko-O'Neill-Okwounu
    -------Cropper

    Ocegueda is the Hector Herrera of the U20 USMNT.

    Nooooooo Hector Herrera is much uglier. Ocegueda just looks confused in his picture. O'Neill looks angry and actually reminds me of a very clumsy and unathletic kid I used to know. Steffen looks like he was arrested during a camp and they used his mug shot.

    If this is the starting lineup, Villarreal would probably line up on the left, and Kiesewetter at CF. Although FWIW there was a video showing Kiesewetter doing stuff on the left* sideline.

    EDIT: *right sideline

    Ehhh, I didn't put much thought into which side the wings were on or the central defenders.

    I consider it a service for the greater good.

    Plus my car is in the shop so I was stuck at home all day.

    Oh well then bravo. I thought they were something US soccer put out since there was the little ussoccer.com thing in the bottom right. Well done.

    I was just poking fun at the pictures, not a criticism.

    No problem and none taken. These headshots can often be amusing.

    But it's nice to have a cheat sheet to help fans get to know new faces.

    I don't even need to see a name next to O'Neil to know that he's of Irish descent, and he was indeed born there and moved to the U.S. when he was an infant. He also looks like he's at least 25 y/o.

    Gil actually looks his age now, even last season he still looked like a 16 y/o kid (he's the youngest '93 and 4th youngest overall on the team).

    I can't believe we tipped our hand like that. Next thing you know we'll be giving Haiti a copy of our playbook!

    Pretty excited for this to start. Always exciting to see a new crop come through the U-20 cycle. Hope Kiesewetter starts, want to see what he's about.

    Is there a rule our keepers have to be bald before they take the starting job for the USMNT? If so, Cropper looks like he's off to a decent start. His hairline is higher than Lebron's.

    Tonight is must-win.

    And when you think about it...........perhaps must-win by a bunch of goals.

    For if the US and Costa Rica draw (certainly possible), then the group could be decided by who beat Haiti by more goals. And I personally would love to avoid Canada in the do-or-die game if at all possible.

    I wanna see us come out and dominate this game from start to finish.

    My prediction: 4-0 good guys.
