I'll take a modest and reserved shot at Pulisic's stat line tonight.

Goals: 4

Goals from outside the box: 2

Assists: 2

We're also trotting out Birnbaum at RB... take the good with the bad, I guess. I kind of wanted to see how Acosta would do as an outside back against a team with an actual pulse.

I'm sure Birnbaum will play CB and Cameron will be sent to RB

According to the lineup notes that were posted on Twitter, birnbaum and Omar are in central defense. So Cameron at right back.

I am guessing:

Wood-Altidore

Pulisic-Kljestan-Bradley-Bedoya

Johnson-Gonzalez-Cameron-Birnbaum

Howard

If so, Birnbaum is the only player out of position. I know that Klinsmann played him at RB before but that is literally the only time he has ever played RB. Even so, this lineup is a definite step in the right direction.

I prefer Cameron at CB but with this backline it makes sense to play Cameron at RB. Cameron has played a lot of RB, Birnbaum has played 99% of his professional minutes as a CB. Still, this is as close to getting it right as Klinsmann has done in a while. Kljestan is going to be driving and distributing balls to players all over that midfield. I can't wait to see the combinations between Kljestan and Pulisic.

Winning comfortably on Friday was so huge. Now Jurgen can relax and experiment with the youngsters and new guys.

Yes, now he can rest Beckerman and Wondolowski.

Considering we were forced into multiple changes in the back, I love this lineup. The front 6 were exactly what I wanted to see and I'm glad Birnbaum is getting a solid look.

Everyone is shocked at seeing a non retarded lineup it's like we don't know what to do.

I thought for sure Jurgey would of found a way to muck up the lineup....

Klejstan starting makes me just as excited...
Ok, not just as excited, but I'm still pretty pumped about it.

What a filthy move from Pulisic there.

The Fighting Vinnies score on Guatemala, and now we have a 13-goal cushion.
