KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Well, that's one way to get a last look at your leading central defense candidates before the start of Copa America Centenario: Start all four of them at once, and see if two of them can play fullback if needed.
US national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann took that unusual step for the first half of Saturday night's 4-0 rout of Bolivia at Children's Mercy Park, the Yanks' last tune-up opportunity before opening Copa play next Friday against Colombia.
Matt Besler started at left back, John Brooks and Geoff Cameron paired in the middle, with Michael Orozco at right back.
