What They're Saying
USA striker Jozy Altidore (via CONCACAF): "I haven't thought much about [playing against my parent's country], but I look forward to it and hopefully I get on the field. It will be fun, a good moment for me in my career. I'm always doing stuff, always making donations and taking donations [for Haiti]. I'm working on the next project right now. Hopefully, I'll have some news on that in the future, but I'm looking forward to the game and all the Haitian fans out there [on Friday]. It will be nice."
Haiti head coach Marc Colla (via beIN Sports): "We came back [against Panama] and we kept struggling, fighting to score the [tying] goal. [Panama were] very focused on scoring a second goal, allowing us to score."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Altidore has enjoyed success since returning to Major League Soccer from Sunderland. In 12 appearances with Toronto FC, the 25-year-old has six goals and an average of one key pass. Facing an emotional moment in his career, look for more of the same productivity on Friday.
USA's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Guzan; Johnson, Brooks, Gonzalez, Chandler; Beckerman, Diskerud, Bedoya; Bradley; Dempsey, Altidore
Haiti's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Placide; Jaggy, Jerome, Pierre, Goreux; Alexandre, Marcelin, Alcenat; Guerrier, Fils, Louis
