Biggest Storyline: Will Jurgen Klinsmann Earn His First Victory?

There is no question that the Americans will be favored against Honduras this weekend, and will be hoping that leads to a victory.

Key Player to Watch for United States: Clint Dempsey

With Landon Donovan out of the lineup for the Americans, the offense will bank on Clint Dempsey in the attacking third.

Dempsey has been the most consistent attacking option for the Americans over the past few years, and will be looking to secure Klinsmann's first victory with a goal in this match.

Key Player to Watch for Honduras: Noel Valladares

Honduras is going to need their goalkeeper to step up in this match, thus Valladares is going to be called upon early and often.

The Americans are likely to attack well in this match, so Valladares is going to need to make some big saves.

Key Matchup: Clint Dempsey vs. Honduras Defense

Dempsey is the best attacking player for the Americans, and Honduras is going to need to control him if they are going to have any chance of coming away with a victory in this match.

If Dempsey gets loose, and has time to get off a clean shot, he will make Honduras pay.

What They're Saying:

Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann spoke with the official website of the US Men's National Team about the roster selection for this match,

"ussoccer.com: In looking through the list, there are 20 players on the roster who you have already seen in camp for the last three matches. How are you approaching roster selections at this point?

"Jurgen Klinsmann: “We would like to continue seeing our players develop through these initial couple of months. One important thing is to see continuity in the build-up of our national team and also in the way we work as coaches. We'd like to see new faces as well, but we also don't want to shake up the core structure of the team too much. We aim to build a consistency in our work approach with the established group of the team.”"
