The United States Men’s National Team is going through an identity crisis. All that’s left is changing the flag from red, white and blue to the black, red and gold of Germany.

With the first match of the Klinsmann era just 24 hours away, it is a perfect time to take a look at what this team could be three years from now.

But to get a full sneak peak of the roster, I suggest you glance through the following slideshow. Here is my predicted USMNT starting lineup and subs...

I’ve been a fan of Kobayashi since his first race in F1, and I can even pinpoint the exact moment. When he ran Nakajima right off the track and into the barriers with a very risky pass, I knew I had a new hero. Since then, he has failed to disappoint. I don’t honestly believe he’s one of the best drivers yet, due to some inconsistency, but I can definitely see him...

Cometh the hour, cometh the man—that’s certainly what world No. 2 Rafael Nadal will be hoping for. This year has not been Nadal’s best season on tour—he has yet to defeat Novak Djokovic and has been bested by the Serbian in five finals in 2011.

He also turned in career-best performances by reaching the third...
