Team USA was able to go with their first-choice XI for this matchup, which includes Tyler Adams in the midfield, captain Tim Ream at CB, Flo Balogun up front, with Christian Pulisic. This is the best lineup the USA could offer. Per Fox Sports, Pulisic said<\/a>: ” I think the vibe feels good. We’ve still kept it light, and we still are going to be ready to battle once the whistle blows.”<\/p>\n

Bosnia has their captain Edin Dzeko as the starting striker, Kerim Alabegovic plays as the #10, there’s 3 designated defenders, but as many seven players will be playing behind the ball as Bosnia will look to absorb pressure against the Americans. Amar Dedic returns to the starting lineup after injury concerns.
