What They're Saying
United States head coach Tab Ramos (via U.S. Soccer): "It's very important for us to know the tradition of U.S. Soccer and the past players that these players this time represent because we do represent the Michael Bradleys and the Clint Dempseys and Landon Donovans who have been here before in their shoes. So, I'm hoping that they are as excited as I am because we truly feel fortunate to be here."
United States midfielder Emerson Hyndman: "All of us, our goal is to be a part of the senior National Team at some point and to go to an actual senior World Cup. To see a player like him [Clint Dempsey] achieve it-especially from my area-it really just motivates me to be that much better."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Hyndman is enjoying modest playing time with Fulham in England's second division. In nine league appearances, the 18-year-old is averaging one key pass and 1.8 tackles. He'll look to control the midfield in Kingston on Friday.
United States' Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Horvath; Acosta, Vickers, Donovan, Moore; Gooch, Flores, Hyndman; Gall, Arriola, Thompson
