The U.S. Men’s National Team faces a crunch semifinal against Jamaica on Wednesday, with the title on the line as well as a chance to show that the team has grown since an embarrassing 2-0 defeat to the Reggae Boyz in early June.
USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter has made four changes from his side’s 1-0 win over Curacao, in which the team was outplayed for large portions of the match. Into the starting lineup is Jozy Altidore up top, Jordan Morris, along with Matt Miazga and Reggie Cannon on the backline.

Cannon will likely get the assignment of marking Bayer Leverkusen speedster Leon Bailey, but Jordan Morris and Cannon will be important for the U.S. to break through the Jamaica backline and create goal-scoring opportunities.
