The U.S. Men’s National Team has many different types of tournaments to look forward to in the new year, from a potential Olympic run, CONCACAF Nations League final, World Cup qualifying and a number of friendlies. What I’d like to look at is how the USMNT should line up in a must-win match.
Sure, there are going to be individual matches that players are rotated in to give those players a look, but this is the XI that, health permitting, should be selected for a must-win one-off match. One final caveat, all players regardless of injury status will be considered.
