The 2015-16 Premier League season hasn’t been kind to the goalkeepers on the United States men’s national team depth chart. Things got even worse for the Yanks in the last week as Tim Howard sat out two Everton games, both of which were won by the Toffees 3-0. Howard hasn’t lost his place just yet, but if Everton continue to hit their stride with Joel Robles in net, it...

U.S. men’s national soccer team manager Jurgen Klinsmann is no stranger to lining up his best players in different positions. Sometimes the experiments work. Just look at how well defensive midfielder Kellyn Acosta performed at left-back against Iceland and Canada.
