    How did Berhalter do this time? Surely not 11/11 again?

    I would rather have a false nine Weah or CP with Aaronson on the flank.

    We do not have strikers, they end up isolated and not really stretching the D

    Looks like only 1 returning starter from the team that beat Mexico

    Goalkeeper:

    • Fernando Muslera, 35 year old starter for Galatasary who despite being Uruguay's goalie for 80+ years still manages to look like a 12 year old. I'm hearing from some Uruguay fans that he's not a lock to start in Qatar and has some serious competion from Rochet


    Defenders

    • Diego Godin, 35 year old veteran who was a long time starter at Atletico but is now in Brazil.

    • Jose Maria Gimenez is 27 and has been at Atletico since 2017. He had a couple injuries this year but was a conistent starter when healthy.

    • Martin Caceres is a 35 year old who's bounced around numerous European Clubs. He moved to Levante in Spain midseason where he began as a starter but an injury in early April caused his playing time to plummet

    Midfielders

    • Guillermo Varela, former Man U product who spent this past season in Russia with Dynamo Moscow. He played in nearly every match, starting most of them.

    • Manueal Ugarte, a promising 21 year old who played in most of Sporting's matches in Portugal but primarily off the bench.

    • 26 year old Mauro Arambarri, was a starter for Getafe in La Liga.

    • Matías Viña a 26 year old at Roma who began the year as a starter, but saw his playing time dwindle near the end.

    Forwards

    • 26 year old Maxi Gomez, who was Musah's teammate at Valencia this year. He suffered a few injuries this season but started when healthy.

    • Fernando Gorrian looks like he's playing the #10 role today, he was a starter for Santos laguna and a Liga MX All Star.

    • Darwin Nunez, the 22 year old starter for Benfica who scored a jaw dropping 26 goals in 28 matches this year. He was by far the leading scored in Portugal and is likely a future star.

    Disagree. As long as the chemistry is there and the attack is doing well and scoring, Jesus should be our 9, imo. Gregg was smart to give him a go. He was smarter than me there.

    In spite of age, that is very solid defense. A lot of experience though they could be susceptible to speed and quickness.

    No, that defense is awful. Both Godin and Caceres are completely washed up. Taking Caceres out and surrounding Godin with Aurajo and Gimenez to protect him is the only way we qualified. Gimenez is alone out there with a young Ugarte to protect him. Your speed should absolutely destroy that defense.

    Godin and Caceres are TERRIBLE lately. Shouldn't even be in the NT squad.

    I didn't expect Alonso to field such a weak lineup against the stronger opponent.

    They have a lot of respect on the team, I’m hoping that he is using this game to show you gem and everyone that it is best that they take a step back.

    I will blame the use of a person to sing the national anthem instead of playing an instrumental recording.

    Expect Pulisic after the game to rip the poor singing of the national anthem. Hopefully it only gets better from here.

    Better yet, turn off the microphone of the guy trying to sing it solo.

    A curb stomping isn't out of the question.
