LOL...gotta give Berhalter credit...not afraid to bring in unproven guys...needs a right back so brings in Scally with no caps; lots of options at the 9 and he brings in Ferreira with 2.  Other than Pepi is there a true 9 on the roster?

Pulisic back is good; Dest out is bad.  Reyna still out.  Zardes hurt.

Sands is back after being left out of the last three-game series (was he hurt?)

Cannon called in for first time in qualifying

Bello, De La Torre, Moore and Hoppe left out from last 3 game series.

Mexico:

Berhalter went with a 3-4-3 back in June.  Could he do that again?  I don't see it.  Tough to get Musah on the field in that alignment.  I  assume we'll go with a 4-3-3.

Pulisic left, Pepi up top.  Aaronson or Weah or Arriola on the right?  I'll go with Aaronson for $100 Alex.

Musah, McKennie and Adams in the midfield triangle.

The back?  Wow.  Let's assume Robinson on the left and Robinson in the center.

On the right?  Would not surprise me at all if he started Scally.  Yedlin or Cannon would be the more cautious choice, especially against Mexico who can really punish mistakes.  I'll go with Scally because, well, why not?

Center-back pairing with Robinson?  Honestly no idea.  Again, left out Brooks despite fact that he is back in starting line-up at Wolfsburg.  34 total caps at CB but Berhalter has already shown that, for the most part, inexperience does not bother him.  I'll go with Zimmerman.

Keeper?  Again no idea.  I'll go with Steffen.
