THE HYPE

A double dose of US v Venezuela comes at you tonight as the USMNT take on the South Americans in Salt Lake City at 10pm ET in a WCQ warmup match followed with the U20 MNT taking on U-20 Venezuelans in a World Cup Quarterfinal at 2am ET(Sunday).  In the first match, Bruce Arena looks to make his final lineup/formation tweaks prior to two massive qualifying games against T&T and Mexico next week.  The USMNT currently sits in 4th place in CONCACAF standings with four points from four games and desperately need points heading into the summer.  Bruce Arena has made it clear that four points from these two qualifiers is the goal. Following T&T in Denver, a point from a tough trip to the Azteca would be scene as a good result.  USMNT Roster GK: Brad Guzan, Ethan Horvath, Tim Howard, Nick Rimando DEF: DaMarcus Beasley, Matt Besler, John Brooks, Geoff Cameron, Omar Gonzalez, Matt Hedges, Tim Ream, Jorge Villafaña, DeAndre Yedlin, Graham Zusi MID: Kellyn Acosta, Paul Arriola, Alejandro Bedoya, Michael Bradley, Fabian Johnson, Dax McCarty, Darlington Nagbe, Christian Pulisic FOR: Jozy Altidore, Clint Dempsey, Jordan Morris, Bobby Wood
