USMNT predicted lineup to face Mexico – Mauricio Pochettino will play his best available

Bryan Zarpentine of The American Pitch has projected the USMNT starting lineup to face Mexico, arguing manager Mauricio Pochettino will field his strongest available squad on Saturday night. Following consecutive victories over Peru and Chile, the writer anticipates Pochettino will balance seasoned veterans with high-performing young prospects for the rivalry fixture.

The predicted lineup features Matt Freese in goal, behind defenders Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Auston Trusty, and Antonee Robinson. Midfielders Tyler Adams and Sebastian Berhalter anchor the center, while teenagers Cavan Sullivan, Mathis Albert, and Malik Tillman are projected to support striker Julian Hall in attack.
