I came to the conclusion that Wood is not as fast as I thought he was, Wood is a lot closer to Zardes speed. Yedlin didn't have a problem getting separation from defenders.

Just for kicks, I checked out the secondary market for the sold out Bolivia-Argentina game in Houston. Prices ranged from about $150 to $700.
Above your post. Or if you prefer: #USMNT Starting XI for #USAvBRA (4-2-3-1): Guzan; Cameron, Orozco, Alvarado, Ream; Jones, Bedoya; Yedlin, Bradley ©, Zardes; Altidore— U.S. Men's National Soccer Team (@USMNT) September 8, 2015
Yeah, sold out at BBVA Compass. This game would be sold out and then some if it was in a 22,000-seater too.
Neymar, Coutinho, Firmino, Kaka on the bench? Not bad subs. The US should be ready in case they face these guys fresh in the second half.
Honestly, I don't. Because the likelihood of it being something of substance is pretty small. Shoot i'm just glad it's on ESPN and i don't have to watch them in spanish. (don't get Fox Sports 1)
