For injuries, Tyler Adams might have been the best American player this year but is injured. John Brooks might be our best defender and is also injured. Deandre Yedlin is a shoo-in to start and is injured. Ethan Horvath is roughly even with Steffen and is injured.
Guiseppe Rossi and Nevin Subotic are both Americans and might have been the best players we have ever had at their positions. Jonathan Gonzalez is a Mexican-American teenager who chose Mexico and looks good enough to be a contributor.
