USA names roster to face Mexico, Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying

Jurgen Klinsmann has decided on the list of players who he’ll be bringing to Columbus for the beginning of the CONCACAF Hexagonal, the 10-match final round of World Cup qualifying.

As expected against two difficult opponents, there are very virtually no surprises on the roster. Captain Michael Bradley will lead the side once again when they play Mexico on Friday (7:45 p.m., FS1). He’s joined by his club teammate at Toronto FC, Jozy Altidore, who will be relied upon bang in the goals with Clint Dempsey out with a heart condition.

Fresh off of back-to-back starts in the Champions League and Bundesliga this week, Christian Pulisic gets the call.
