There isn't much else to say for the United States besides that tonight's match versus Jamaica is a must win. The Reggae Boyz beat them in Jamaica and took away their margin for error. Now they are facing the possibility of not qualifying for the final round of World Cup qualifying, let alone the World Cup itself. That's right, the U.S. might be out of the 2014 World Cup in 2012.
The U.S. was overwhelmed in the midfield on Friday. Once the Jamaicans took away their short passes they were out of ideas and nobody in their three-man midfield was capable of pushing forward with any success. In response to that, Jurgen Klinsmann has opted for Graham Zusi and Jose Francisco Torres in the midfield this time around, giving theem more skill and more forward thinking midfielders.
United States: Howard; Cherundolo, Cameron, Bocanegra, Johnson; Jones, Williams; Zusi, Dempsey, Torres; Gomez.
Jamaica: Miller; Palmer, Nosworthy, Mariappa, Taylor; Watson, Austin, Morrison, Shelton; Johnson, Cummings
