Uruguay presents an interesting opportunity for the USMNT. After all, the U.S. has little to no familiarity with frequent World Cup teams outside CONCACAF. That's not to take anything away from Mexico, Canada and Costa Rica. Clearly, these are strong sides with talented players. Instead, it is simply a style of play. Nations in South […]
