Episode 36: USA 1, Peru 1 — All Hail the Youngs! A mostly encouraging night in Connecticut

The USA drew Peru in Hartford on Tuesday, but the big story was the US lineup. We got a starting front three of Jonathan Amon, Josh Sargent and Tim Weah. Reggie Cannon got his debut at right back. Aaron Long got his debut at centerback. Ben Sweat got a debut at left back. Brad Guzan returned from the wilderness. What did we learn? A lot! Listen up.

• 0:30 intro and Velasquez tactical overview (not because we care about Sarachan’s tactics but because it affects the way we assess individual performances)
• 14:00 Flores’ goal for Peru, whose fault was it?
• 17:50 Sargent, Weah, Amon, Cannon and Carter-Vickers (extended discussion, please understand)
• 50:20 Acosta, Delgado, Trapp and everyone else
