Going to be interesting to see how a US team of mostly third stringers does, especially if we end up facing México's first team.

Here's my 23:

GK: Turner, Johnson, Hamid
RB:Shaq Moore, Cannon
CB: CCV, Zimmerman, Che, Robinson
LB: Bello, Vines, Gomez
DM: Williamson, Flach
CM: Busio, Acosta, Lletget, Green
LF/RF: Arriola, Cowell, Clark
F: Hoppe, Dike

So many other guys I wish I could include. Also was really hoping De la Torre and Tyler Boyd would be on the team. I think we're missing at least one more reliable winger, but I like the talent we have everywhere else. The preliminary list is heavy on center mid and short on wingers, IMO.

Guy I'm most excited about - Shaq Moore, just because he looked great the last time he played for us but I hadn't been thinking about him for this tournament. Seems like a way better option than Araujo or Herrera. Also really excited to see Hoppe.

Wish I had room for EPB, Mueller, Yueill, Zardes, Johnny Cardoso, Sands.

I feel like you can make a pretty decent XI out of this group that would still be a huge under dog against Mexico, but anything can happen in one game. I wish we had Tyler Boyd or a healthy Jordan Morris for that match up.
