This team is good. Ranked 12th in the FIFA rankings – the USMNT are 11th – and 7th in the ELO rankings (USA 22nd), the unbeaten run is no joke and includes 13 clean sheets.

All-time leader David Ospina is in defense, and the former Arsenal goalkeeper has an excellent group of defenders in front of him. There’s Spurs’ Davinson Sanchez, as well as Yerry Mina, Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) and young Yerson Mosquera.
