Well, this is pretty much as expected from Pochettino other than Chris Richards missing out due to an injury. It looks like the USA will go with a 4-2-3-1 system with either Tim Weah or Weston McKennie at right back and Mark McKenzie at center back alongside Tim Ream. A front four of Weah/McKennie, Tillman, Pulisic and Balogun is tasty. As for Belgium, their main man Kevin de Bruyne is the playmaker with Jeremy Doku a real threat on the wing. Having Tielemans on the bench shows their strength and Belgium are missing Courtois, Trossard and Lukaku due to injury.
