The game isn't until 6:30 ET, but Goff has the lineup already.
Sargent
Rubin -- Pulisic -- Corona -- Weah
McKennie
Robinson -- Palmer-Brown -- Zimmerman -- Lichaj
Bono
Bench: Hamid (GK), Olosunde (RB), Miazga (CB), Carter-Vickers (CB), Villafaña (LB), Parks (CM), Green (AM), Gooch (AM), Novakovich (FW). Guido (CM) is out with a groin strain and Horvath (GK) didn't dress.
USMNT debuts for Bono, EPB, Robinson, and Sargent. Four teenagers are in the lineup (Sargent, Weah, Pulisic, McKennie) and some other young guys too (EPB, Robinson, Rubin, Bono).
Things I'll be looking for:
1) Zack Steffen is the horse I'm betting on at GK, but can Bono work his way into the depth chart? Hamid and Horvath have been shaky at best for their clubs in Europe lately and Guzan isn't that good, so it's wide open.
2) I haven't seen EPB play in a while. He's been a monster for our youth national teams, but his club career has been weird and I want to see signs of continued development.
3) Robinson: the LB scene is weak as usual. Robinson had some good moments on loan at Bolton this year, though he wasn't consistent. Interested to see how he fares at this level.
4) I'm confident that McKennie will be a central piece of the team next cycle. He mostly plays box-to-box, though, so how will he hold up at #6?
5) Pulisic: first USMNT action since T&T. Welcome back, kid. This game will be another data point in what I expect to be a long-running debate about whether CP should play centrally or on the wing.
6) Weah & Sargent: highly inexperienced, but these are our twin hopes at forward (Weah also plays out wide sometimes, like in this game). I don't expect too much production just yet, but I wouldn't mind seeing a few moments of quality....
7) Rubin: he's a bit of an also-ran at this point, but he's young enough to turn it around and be a contributor. Lord knows we don't have much depth at most attacking positions. A versatile attacker would be useful if he can show the quality.
