I fully trust Mikey Varas as he's done a great job so far, just saying I don't get the logic... I was expecting a lineup more like this with both the new arrivals: Sciaretta also confused by it... The U.S U-20 XI vs Uruguay is a Little surprising. - 3-4-3 formation remains. - Halliday replaced Gomez at RB- Paredes still not in the XI. Same with Pukstas- McGlynn and Vargas in CM- Wolff-Luna-Cowell spearhead the attack- lots of firepower on the bench pic.twitter.com/4BzHH0WS2i— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) June 4, 2023

Decent crowd - let’s do this! Edit: Note to self: Don’t stick out your tongue during the national anthem, especially when the camera zooms in on you.
The US out-playing them early (though the Gambia was too). Nice diagonals by Che, and thrus by McGlynn. Give Sullivan those balls that Wiley is getting. Wiley doesn't know what to do as a natural fb.
Smart to go with what's working. Don't overthink. If it looks like it isn't working and you need a guy late, like how they use Paredes at Wolfsburg, put him in.
Not surprised at all given how well the team has played. If we need a goal later expect them to sub in.
Ref being a little too Uruguay friendly? Luna trying to be a little too smart. Don't try to outsmart Uruguay. Loses ball, Uruguay scores at the other end.
