If the United States is to seize control of its World Cup destiny, it’ll do so without by starting without two of its best European-based players.
Fabian Johnson of Borussia Monchengladbach wasn’t called up for this international break’s massive World Cup qualifiers, and Geoff Cameron of Stoke City is being kept on the bench Friday versus Panama.
