Projected bench: (Goalkeepers) Matt Turner, Chris Brady; (Defenders) Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Auston Trusty, Miles Robinson, Max Arfsten; (Midfielders) Aiden Morris, Cristian Roldan, Sebastian Berhalter, Malik Tillman, Brendan Aaronson, Gio Reyna; (Forwards) Ricardo Pepi, Haji Wright

Squad snapshot: Previous World Cups have seen the U.S. strong in goal and defense, but light in attack. In this edition, the opposite appears to be true.

Questions abound in goal, as well as the center of defense, with Ream, 38, still penciled in to start despite questions about his mobility. In attack, for the first time in over a decade, the U.S. have a standout striker in Balogun with the likes of Pulisic, McKennie and Weah charged with getting him the ball -- or creating opportunities for themselves.

The U.S. certainly have more attacking options than they're used to. That includes full backs Robinson and Dest, who will be critical to the USMNT's attack, with Robinson providing service from out wide and Dest taking on the role of attacking wild card. Therefore, the center of midfield will be key in helping to shield the backline with Adams providing the steel and Cardoso (if he can get fit) the cultured passing.

The intangibles settle on the fact that the U.S. are playing at home. Will the USMNT use the home crowd to spur it on, or will the weight of expectations prove to be too heavy? It will be up to manager Mauricio Pochettino to make sure the team is prepared and possesses a confident mindset.
