A young U.S. national team will take on a stacked Brazil squad led by Neymar, and Dave Sarachan has some lineup and formation decisions to make
When the U.S. national team earned a 1-1 draw in Lyon against eventual World Cup winner France, it came with the help of a five-man defense, a setup we hadn't seen much of from the USMNT over the years.
As a tactical option, it made plenty of sense going up against a stacked attack like France's. If you're on the road against a world powerhouse there's no shame in taking a defensive stance and trying to make things difficult defensively rather than opening yourself up on enemy territory.
