USA VS Germany

Today's USA friendly against Germany at 1:30 on ESPN 2 will be a difficult challenge for the Americans.  Coming off a lackluster 4-2 drubbing by the Belgiums the USMNT will need to eliminate the simple defensive errors that Belgium was so easily able to take advantage of.  Look for their to be a few changes in the lineup today.  According to soccerbyives.net the first team practice squad included Fabian Johnson slotting in at left midfield and Brad Evans in at right back.  We will also hopefully see the return of Michael Bradley to the middle of the field now that he has had some time in the camp.  Germany will be fielding a B squad but as the number 2 ranked team in the world that will still be a very formidable squad, including the likes of Klose and Podolski.  Brad Evans at right back concerns me simply due to his lack of playing time there and his technical deficiencies but perhaps he will show the mettle of a good American MLS player and prove to be rather efficient.  I really like the Fabian Johnson-Damarcus Beasley duo on the left side.  If they can manage to defend at all then much of the US attack should come from overlaps and combinations on that flank.  Here's to hoping Jozy gets a little more service and puts a few away today.  Sadly that seems a bit of a pipe dream at this point.
