Hopefully Balogun is still stateside and can catch a match

Yes!! I do think his plan was to watch that match. Hopefully it didn't change.

I'm curious to see what lineup he goes with. There had to be a reason why he didn't go with Jedi and Tim on the left side against Grenada. Didn't need them?

You'd think what's good enough for a top half of the table Fulham is good enough for USA.

I assume that it was to get young defenders some experience in a match we expect to dominate possession.

I would guess it'll be Dest, Robinson, Ream, Jedi as the defenders against El Salvador with the same attacking front 6.

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone else start up top.

Wonder if Gio starts again. He was pretty crappy against an overmatched Grenada.

Those 4 in defense for sure is my expectation.

The front 6, given the injuries, with Weah, Adams and Acosta not in the team, I don't expect any changes except maybe bringing in a new forward for Pepi.

I don't think this is happening, but hypothetically speaking from a rules perspective, is it possible for Balogun get his debut tonight?

He played for us as a youth, i think he can. I'm not 100% sure.

I believe he will need to apply to FIFA and get his one-time transfer approved (paperwork) and most tournaments like Nations League require you submit your roster X number of days in advance. So no, paperwork would prevent him from playing tonight.

Thanks. I didn't realize that his youth participation with England means he needs to officially change. I mistakenly thought he was wide open due to no senior caps.

Yeah 0% chance he can play tonight due to paperwork.

But he could come one the field at HT and commit

Dest needs to just play Zendejas in and/or look to combine in those spots, dribbling isn't always the best option

He did just that and should have won a penalty kick I think, either way earns a corner

Well, Musah may have just broken his collarbone.

Edit - He's back out there now.

Crazy that we are still letting Pulisic take set pieces.
Besides not being good at it, hes also very dangerous lurking around the box
