As for what to anticipate from Martinique, Enviornment acknowledged that Wednesday’s opponent’s impressed in its 2-0 win over Nicaragua on Saturday. He expects a assured group that will probably be organized within the again, snug within the excessive temperatures, and targeted on getting a draw since one level ought to safe development to the knockout rounds.

“Martinique I saw for the first time on Saturday,” Enviornment mentioned. “They performed very effectively. They might have gained by 5 objectives in that sport. They’ve a few good gamers. It is actually a group we now have to respect and we now have to exit and beat. When you’ve got a group that has a win and leads the group, they’re going to come to Wednesday’s sport with a number of confidence.

“Maybe they’re saying that if we get one level out of this, we’re advancing out of this event. I’m certain they’re working collectively to have a robust defensive posture in opposition to us.”

Wednesday’s lineup

On Saturday, Enviornment made simply two adjustments from the earlier week’s pleasant win over Ghana. Taking part in on solely three days of relaxation, anticipate extra adjustments.

A couple of gamers will stay. Brad Guzan is more likely to begin sincethe Chicago native has been in prime kind the primary two video games of this U.S. camp. With the group needing a win, altering the goalkeeper appears unlikely.

The 2 greatest subject gamers are additionally safer bets to remain. Dom Dwyer has scored in his first two caps. The England native and newly minted American citizen was beaming in entrance of the media on Monday because it was a homecoming of kinds. Dwyer first started to draw nationwide consideration whereas taking part in for Tampa’s College of South Florida, the place the U.S. is now coaching. It was throughout his one-year stint on the USF the place Dwyer impressed to turn into a primary spherical draft choose for Sporting Kansas Metropolis in 2012.

“It’s really nice to be here,” Dwyer mentioned. “It brings back a lot of good memories. It’s a really cool experience. It’s a little bit surreal. I didn’t think I would be here. Six years ago you could have told me I would be here and I wouldn’t have believed you.”

The opposite participant is New England’s Kelyn Rowe who has showcased himself effectively in his first two U.S. appearances. Rowe has been one of many group’s most aggressive gamers up to now and has been seeking to make game-changing performs. Whereas his protection has been missing, Enviornment says issues look brilliant for Rowe up to now.

“Kelyn has to grow and understand how to play the game at this level,” Enviornment mentioned. “But certainly, individually, he’s got some tools. He’s a tricky player. He’s a skillful player. There’s some other things he’s got to get right but it’s been a good first couple of weeks for him with the U.S. team.”

Dwyer agreed that Rowe has been a lift for the group’s offense.

“I’ve been with impressed with him the last couple weeks in training,” Dwyer mentioned. “You can see right away that he looks very good at this level. We seem to be linking up well. So hopefully there is more of that.”

Enviornment has burdened he needs to see the group placed on an improved efficiency from Saturday. He additionally expects an opponent to play with a extremely organized and defensive strategy.

Maybe a shift to a 4-4-2 formation would possibly make sense to offer Dwyer a associate within the field. If that is the case, Juan Agudelo would possibly make sense along with his energy, technical capacity, and talent within the field. Alejandro Bedoya didn’t impress on Saturday and opting to go together with Paul Arriola on the precise facet may also be logical as Enviornment trusted the teenager with a latest begin in opposition to Mexico.

The central midfield trio of Dax McCarty, Kellyn Acosta, and Joe Corona can even probably be tinkered with. One will naturally be dropped if there’s a change to a 4-4-2. The principally probably inclusion can be Crisitian Roldan who’s recent after not taking part within the first two video games. In the meantime McCarty, a local of close by Orlando, looks as if the most definitely participant to stay within the beginning lineup.

The fullbacks are robust to name. If Martinique goes to be compact, the U.S. will wanted good crossing. Graham Zusi can do this however he had a tough sport on Saturday. Jorge Villafana performed effectively however might be fatigued the opener. 

So right here is one potential lineup we’d see on Wednesday.
