Okay, going into the first camp who are my starters for 2030? I hope to be here to see how close I got. I assume Poch sticks with a 4-2-3-1/3-2-4-1 (3-2-5) on offense and 4-4-2 on defense. And that Poch sticks himself. But let's call it a 4-2-3-1.
G: Kochen
LB: Miller (even though he is currently a winger)
LCB: Pierre (even though he is right footed)
RCB: Freeman (even though he is currently a RCB)
RB: Gozo (even though he is currently a winger)
LCM: McKennie
RCM: Tillman
ACM: Ellis
LW: Pulisic
Str: Balogun
RW: Sullivan
Subs who play: Freese (?), A. Robinson, Dest, Cardoso, Musah, Mehmeti, Reyna, Albert, Gozo
Subs who don't play: who cares
Interesting players who don't play and may or may not be called: guys born in 2010 or later, Habroune, Tsakiris, Raines, Cremaschi (nice player went from Miami to Italy, a midfielder or winger), Paxten Aaronson (better than his brother but less athletic)
This team has no players who play who are scrubs and has the best top talent of any USMNT. I think they go to the final 8 and have a shot at the final 4 depending on the scheduling. Spain, France, and Portugal are out of their league, but I think they can play with anyone else.
