“It’s very important to us that our leaders in our group are really getting a rhythm and getting games in’’. Klinsmann said.

While on the attacking department of the squad will be featuring Clint Dempsey along with Chris Wondolowski. Their upcoming friendly match against Mexico will be crucial for Klinsmann to know which players are in better shape and ready to represent USA for the 2014 World Cup.
