USA v Mexico kicks off at 10pm ET US youth shines again in contentious win over Chile Email Alexander with comments, questions and jokes As promised by Mauricio Pochettino in yesterday’s availability, today’s US lineup balances experience and his baker’s dozen of newcomers – an ideal time for the next generation to get their first experience in one of global soccer’s biggest rivalries. It’s a very fun lineup, too. Cavan Sullivan gets the start in the first of what could be many matchups with Mexico, while Diego Kochen makes his first start for the US to build his case as not just the program’s goalkeeper of the future, but of their present. First-choice full backs Alex Freeman and Antonee Robinson flank Chris Richards and Auston Trusty to give Kochen a strong backline to work with for the occasion, with newly minted US captain Tyler Adams and Sebastian Berhalter tasked with keeping the midfield tidy.
