U.S. Soccer Stays in Race to World Cup

Following the U.S.A.'s loss to Guatemala in the World Cup qualifiers on Good Friday, Coach Klinsmann of the U.S. had a decision to make when it came to the lineup. According to SBNation, Klinsmann started Brad Guzan, Edgar Castillo, Geoff Cameron, Steve Birnbaum, DeAndre Yedlin, Michael Bradley, Kyle Beckerman, German Zusi, Gyasi Zardes, Clint Dempsey, and Bobby Wood. This lineup had not previously played together as a team, and as a result, there was no prior chemistry. Despite this, the U.S. bounced back and stomped Guatemala 4-0 in Tuesday's bout. If the U.S. were to lose, their World Cup hopes would have been in doubt. Luckily, there is breathing room for now.
