U.S. must decide first team to reach potential

The United States need to establish a first-choice line-up quickly if they are to transform the successes of the past year into a long run at the World Cup.
Victory over European champions Spain in the Confederations Cup last year gave a huge boost to the self-belief of Bob Bradley’s squad and this was followed by the U.S. taking a two-goal lead over Brazil in the final, before losing 3-2.
Qualification for the World Cup finals was achieved with relatively few complications. But the final match of the campaign, a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica in October, may yet have an impact on the campaign in South Africa.
Although the result had no bearing on the U.S.’s qualification, the team suffered two serious injuries.
