Episode 132: A starting XI on Berhalter’s revised template from January

A center forward who drops deep to pick up the ball, wingers
tucked into the channels, fullbacks bombing past them wide, two
true box-to-box center mids and of course the deep-lying center
mid distributor concept. If the Costa Rica friendly is any
indication, this is what we’ll see in the next meaningful USMNT
match. We make a starting XI and try to sketch out the depth
chart.
