Lineups
are out for the United States men's national team's big World Cup
qualifying showdown with Mexico, and neither team is sitting back to
defend.
Jurgen Klinsmann appears to be playing a 4-4-2, though a
back three is possible too. Regardless of the formation, Bobby Wood and
Jozy Altidore will partner up top. If they're playing a back four,
Fabian Johnson will be pushed up into midfield, with Matt Besler getting
the start at left back. If not, Besler will play as part of a back
three, with Johnson and Timmy Chandler as wingbacks. Christian Pulisic
gets the start, but it's not obvious if he'll be out wide in a 4-4-2 or
in the hole behind the strikers in a 3-4-1-2.
El Tri is showing
no fear with their extremely attacking lineup, though there's one
conservative move. Diego Reyes, normally a central defender, is expected
to play right back as El Tri shifts from their expected back three into
a back four. Andres Guardado and Hector Herrera, hardly defensive
midfielders, will man the middle for Juan Carlos Osorio's team. The
USMNT will have a lot to deal with up top, with Mexico playing four true
attackers. Like the USMNT, this lineup gives Mexico the flexibility to
shift between a back three and a back four, should they choose to do so.
