The USMNT will head to Grenada to take on the Spice Boys in the first of their two Nations League contests. Keep in mind that beating El Salvador is the only thing that matters in terms of advancing. I'm a big fan of never throwing games away, but perspective is always helpful. With that in mind here is my ideal starting lineup for Fridays contest:
GK: Matt Turner, Arsenal
RB: Bryan Reynolds, Westerlo
RCB: Mark McKenzie, Genk
LCB: Auston Trusy, Birmingham City
LB: Sergino Dest, AC Milan
CM: Djorde Mihailovic, AZ
AM: Yunus Musah, Valencia
AM: Luca de la Torre, Celta Vigo
S: Ricardo Pepi, Groningen
RF: Gio Reyna, Dortmund
LF: Alex Zendejas, Club America
I would bring Pulisic, Booth, Aaronson, Miles Robinson and one of Sonora/Cardosa off the bench in this game. Pulisic is probably not full match fit any way. Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson and Joe Scally have played a ton of minutes this year so I would rest them in preparation for El Salvador. Dest really needs all of the minutes he can get right now and I think it's a perfect game to bring in Reynolds, Trusty and Mihailovic to. I think this is a squad that is solid on the back line, can push the ball through the midfield and has finishers up front. We will see how this looks compared to Anthony Hudson's starting lineup on Friday.
