Jurgen Klinsmann and the United States men’s national team head into 2015 with plenty to prove. Despite advancing out of the proverbial “group of death” in the 2014 World Cup, the team was thoroughly outclassed by Belgium in the Round of 16 and then finished the year winless in their last four matches.

In 2015, Klinsmann will have his hands full.

With Tim Howard on sabbatical until at least next fall, the gloves will fall into the hands of the more-than-capable Brad Guzan. Since winning the job from Shay Given at Aston Villa in 2012, Guzan has proven himself a top-class goalkeeper and even deputized well for Howard on the international level several times in the last few years.

Backing up Guzan is Real Salt Lake’s Nick Rimando, who has also played well for the U.S. on several occasions, including the 2013 Gold Cup.

Starter: Brad Guzan

 

Defenders

With the international retirement of DaMarcus Beasley, Tijuana’s Greg Garza will be getting the next shot at left-back. Despite having little international experience, Garza has done well when he has gotten the chance, starting three of the U.S.’s five post-World Cup friendlies.



The spot at right-back belongs to DeAndre Yedlin. About to move to Tottenham, Yedlin was a surprise inclusion on the U.S.’s World...
