The United States is coming off a solid, if mostly unspectacular, 1-0 win over Ecuador from midweek. Darlington Nagbe stole the game late with a wonderfully worked goal and a smart, heads-up play/assist from Bobby Wood.
Christian Pulisic and Alejandro Bedoya also came off the bench in the second half to spark the USA's attack after what can only be described as a dreadful first half. Jurgen Klinsmann may have stumbled onto a formation, or at least a lineup, that not only is really effective but also puts his best players in their best positions.
