Stars and Stripes With a Point to Prove

With less than three months remaining until the 2015 Gold Cup gets underway, many within the United States camp will feel now is their time to make a move on Klinsmann's squad.

By and large, Klinsmann's 22-man lineup consists mainly of those playing in Major League Soccer, while four Liga MX players have been named, as well as two European-based players.

Bayern Munich's Julian Green and DeAndre Yedlin of Tottenham Hotspur are the two overseas stars called up to face El Tri, each of whom will be seeking to cause waves should he be handed a chance in midweek.

Yedlin in particular will be looking to capitalise on his recent success, having been handed his Tottenham debut as a substitute in the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa this past weekend and telling Spurs TV (h/t ESPN FC) of his delight:

"

Obviously, it's unbelievable to make my debut here. It's something I've looked forward to for a while now. But the circumstances weren't the best. It's disappointing, lost the three points. We're going to have to come back and get those points back.

That's the only thing going through my head right now, is the loss. The debut's great but the loss is kind of overshadowing that right now. It's disappointing but we can't hang our heads.

"

The United States have won 12 of their previous 22 meetings against Mexico, and a weakened opposition promises to give the Texas hosts their opportunity to impress in front of a home crowd.

And with the European season drawing to a close, those assets based in MLS will know that the time to make their presence felt to Klinsmann is now, before the team's regular cast returns to international action.

Key Battle

William Yarbrough vs. Erick Torres

It won't be long before Erick Torres is a more recognised figure in the United States, his loan spell at former club Chivas Guadalajara set to come to an end in June before he returns to Houston Dynamo.

The Designated Player is looked upon as one of El Tri's most exciting prospects, and as ESPN FC's Tom Marshall illustrates, he's clearly enjoying his time back at his old stomping ground:

One of those contending to start in goal for Klinsmann also carries a Mexican connection to Texas this week, with William Yarbrough playing for Liga MX outfit Leon.

Speaking to Jeff Crandall of USSoccer.com this week, Yarbrough explained the mixed feeling he harbours coming into this clash, having been born and raised south of the border with American parents:

"

I don't know what it's going to feel like. When you grow up in an American home, my parents would always watch the U.S. National Team. But of course, whenever Mexico played, it was shown everywhere. I grew up watching both teams and when the U.S. or Mexico played, I'd want them both to win. When they played each other, I never really had an incline towards a national team. It's a question a lot of people would ask me.

I was born and raised in Mexico but I knew where my family comes from. I was sort of stuck in between. In the end, I know the great rivalry that goes on between Mexico and the USA and I play for the USA. All I can say is that I'll defend the colors of the United States with everything I have. I'll do everything possible to beat Mexico.

"

Yarbrough has only one cap to his name while 22-year-old Torres is swiftly clocking up his international appearances, having netted once in three appearances under Herrera.

The timing of this match offers both players the opportunity to emerge from obscurity, and that motivation alone should see the pair produce their best in heated circumstances.
