Why not? He is likely to be the most experienced player out of the inexperienced starting XI, tonight.

They had to, especially with all the shyt that has happened in the last few rounds.

Im sure Martin Atkinson, will still find ways to undermine Citeh

Great read.

You would of thought with the rise of commercial branding, that nicknames would be more prevalent.

This. Especially when the US actually has some good keepers (one of the positions where the US actually produces some respectable talent). Their No. 1 keeper, Zak Steffen (who went to my college, dude was a beast), is injured at the moment.

Yeah, don't really understand Guzan starting. Steffen is clearly #1, but I'm curious who is the #2. Could have been a good time to bring in someone like Stefan Frei as he's technically a "US Citizen" and honestly he's he's close to being as good as Zak.

IIRC, Klinsmann’s son Jonathan got called up to the US National teams for No. 2 keeper role. Guzan just needs to go home.

Germany finally with some pace in their attack. Sane, Gnarby and Werner (I'd have gone with Reus though).
