da bet esporte： After opening the tournament with a draw against Jamaica, B.J. Callaghan may look to alter his team for its second group-stage game

da betano casino： No disrespect to St. Kitts and Nevis, who have earned their right to be at the Gold Cup, but it's safe to say the United States men's national team will be favored on Wednesday night. After surviving to seal a 1-1 draw with Jamaica in the opening game of the tournament, the U.S. will now take on an opponent with a bit less punch, to put it lightly.

This is the Sugar Boys' first-ever Gold Cup, having failed to qualify between 1991 and 2021. Their first game came against Trinidad and Tobago, ending in a 3-0 battering that saw the Soca Warriors jump right to the top of the group.

What we're getting at here is that the USMNT will be heavy, heavy favorites, which means this may be the time to rotate a little bit after a real battle with Jamaica. B.J. Callaghan has some interesting decisions to make, both tactically and some enforced due to injury. A few players will be questionable for this game, which means we will likely see some new faces in the USMNT XI.

But who should Callaghan go with? GOAL takes a look…

If there was a game to start Gaga Slonina, this would probably be the one, but will Callaghan actually do it? Probably not. Turner is here for a reason, and that reason is to play games. Each chance to get on the field is vital for the USMNT No.1, who may not get too many chances at club level as long as he remains at Arsenal.

Because of that, we'll start him, but do keep an eye on Slonina if Callaghan does want to give the youngster a go.

John Tolkin played in the first game and was solid, but not spectacular. We'll give Jones this one to show what he's got. Both Tolkin and Jones are vying for a back-up spot with the full team, and while St. Kitts and Nevis isn't the best team to audition against, every impression counts.

GettyCB: Jalen Neal

He's certainly earned this. After coming in as a second-half substitute against Jamaica, Neal looked like the most composed defender on the field. He's only 19 years old and still has a lot of growing to do, but you have to say that he was ridiculously impressive when challenged by a pretty good Jamaica attack.

Because of that, he deserves a start and a chance to show why he may just be someone the U.S. can rely on in the knockout rounds.

GettyCB: Miles Robinson

This all depends on health. If Robinson is good to go, there's no doubt he'll be a key piece for this team the rest of the way. However, a knock kept him out of the first game, and it would be understandable if Callaghan wanted to give him a few more days of rest or a just a brief cameo to get his feet wet post-injury.

If not Robinson, Matt Miazga would probably be the guy as he looks to make his mark after being at least partially at fault for the first goal on Saturday night.
