The United States have a chance to make history on Saturday at the World Cup.

Pulisic was already deemed cleared to play, which is a positive sign. You can follow our live updates of the game here.<\/p>\n

Charlie Davies’ preferred XI: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Turner; Sergino Dest, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson; Tyler Adams, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie; Tim Weah, Josh Sargent, Christian Pulisic.<\/p>\n

Heath Pearce starting XI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turner; Dest, Zimmerman, Ream, Robinson; Adams, Musah, McKennie; Weah, Sargent, Pulisic.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Conrad’s starting XI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turner; Dest, Zimmerman, Ream, Robinson; Adams, Musah, McKennie; Weah, Sargent, Pulisic. <\/p>\n

As you can see there’s not a lot of disagreement among the three hosts. If Sargent is healthy everybody wants him to start. The only real question is whether Walker Zimmerman comes back into the team or if Cameron Carter-Vickers keeps his place next to Tim Ream at center back. That’s a remarkable development for a team that wasn’t sure of its best XI coming into the match.
