USA vs. Costa Rica, 2014 World Cup qualifying: Lineups
The United States are playing an attacking lineup against Costa Rica, with Jurgen Klinsmann well aware of the fact that his team need three points ahead of their trip to the Azteca. With a minimal amount of healthy defenders available to him, he's starting veteran left midfielder DaMarcus Beasley at left back. The formation of the team isn't clear, but it's also not terribly important. It looks like a 4-2-3-1 at first glance, but Klinsmann's U.S. team's style is never dependent on formation.
Alvaro Saborio, who was previously rumored to be injured, starts up top for Costa Rica. They’re also starting Roy Miller at left back, which should be music to the ears of Graham Zusi and Geoff Cameron.
United States lineup (4-2-3-1): Brad Guzan; DaMarcus Beasley, Clarence Goodson, Omar Gonzalez, Geoff Cameron; Jermaine Jones, Michael Bradley; Herculez Gomez, Clint Dempsey, Graham Zusi; Jozy Altidore
Costa Rica lineup (4-4-1-1): Keylor Navas; Roy Miller, Giancarlo González, Cristian Gamboa, Michael Umaña; Bryan Oviedo, Michael Barrantes, Ariel Rodríguez, Bryan Ruiz; Cristian Bolaños; Alvaro Saborio
