Teams that are already qualified for the World Cup coming to the United States for a friendly with players they are trying out, alternate lineups.

Here comes real opposition, and what you wanna do is tinker.

What you wanna do is all of a sudden experiment.

What you wanna do is go toe to toe with a team like Belgium.

You need to realize who you're playing against.

If this was the World Cup, would you play Belgium that way?

I hope not.

I hope you would be pragmatic.

I hope you would take your chances.

I hope you wouldn't leave yourself so exposed that you get five, and could have quite possibly been eight, if I'm being honest, scored against you.

And then the very next game, your last game before an actual roster announcement, because it's the last game, the next time we see this team, we're gonna know who's going to the World Cup.
