Coach: Bruce Arena
Tactics: Extremely fit and strong defensively.
Star Player: Claudio Reyna - a star in World Cup 2002, the Manchester City schemer rarely loses possession..
Verdict: Not being seeded could prove to be their undoing as they have been placed in a difficult group. They will lack for nothing when it comes to effort, however. Arena has assembled a hard-working outfit and with Reyna sitting in front of a compact back four, the USA will be hard to break down. Will do well to make last 16.
