Looking at the First Team
Guzan in goal with Yedlin, Alvarado, Brooks, and Garza as the Back Four is a strong defense. American soccer fans can be proud and confident with this defense.
Cameron and Bradley as the defensive midfielders with Corona, Feilhaber, and Dempsey is a balanced and talented combination of defensive midfielders and attacking midfielders.
This midfield even has the all-important duo of a stay-at-home defensive midfielder with a box-to-box midfielder, and it has a true Number 10 flanked by technical and creative attacking midfielders with lots of freedom to float around.
Agudelo as a striker gives the United States a very talented striker that is creative, fast, tall, and strong, and he can score with both feet and his head. Agudelo also can create his own scoring chances and set up others to score.
