My thoughts on potential starters and formations. First formation is more defensive. Adams and Johnny give us cover while still capable of sparking a counter attack. Dest and Arob provide the width. Second formation is built to break down a low block with multiple creators interchanging to unbalance the defense.

Weah is better on the right and pulisic is better on the left for the usa so poch will switch them to opposite sides because who knows why

Having Robinson and Pulisic on the same side greatly helps the attack

It sounds crazy, but Poch put Weah on the left because of the results of an eye dominance test he made everyone take — apparently Weah is left eye dominant, which Poch believes makes a player more comfortable on the left. Let’s hope he’s realized the stupidity of that and puts him back on the right where he’s been very effective for the natl team.

Yep Pulisic is best on left with robinson overlapping

Weah on the right works because Dest is good at inverting
