Mauricio Pochettino makes nine (!) changes to the #USMNT lineup for tonight’s year-ending World Cup tuneup v. Uruguay — not a huge surprise on just two days rest. Freese, Dest the holdovers. 4-2-3-1 formation. Should see a few more regulars in the second half.

Pochettino on Reyna’s performance against Paraguay: “He did a very good job. So happy with him, and he showed why he started… he needs to improve because he needs to play more in his club. But today he was great: scores and an assist, finding the free space.” #USMNT

Freese in goal for the 11th straight game. Scally at right back/RCB, Dest at right wing back. Reyna makes his first international start since July 1, 2024 — Gregg Berhalter’s final game as #USMNT coach — and just his second for club or country since March 1.
