Wednesday’s friendly for the United States national team against Costa Rica is an opportunity to build on a little momentum. Consecutive wins for the United States national team over CONCACAF opposition en route to lifting the inaugural Nations League trophy gives the Americans a sense of upward trajectory.

And with the shadows of Couva still looming over the United States national team, some direction is sorely needed right now.

Wednesday’s friendly against Costa Rica should provide the national team with an opportunity to test some new talent and try some new combinations.
