It'll be interesting to see if Weston McKennie has more than 60 minutes in him, but having the major players ready is music to Gregg Berhalter's ears as the USMNT look to upset the Dutch on Saturday. .

Sergino Dest will be critical in a match against his birth nation as his performances helped the United States keep back-to-back shutouts and he also assisted Pulisic's winner against Iran.

While he'll need to be ready to go for the USMNT to pull out a victory, what else will need to happen for the United States to win the match.

In possession, the Dutch keep the ball on the ground and they're prone to coughing it up with 30 dispossessions in three games.

The Netherlands are prone to making bad decisions with the ball under pressure, especially when the wing backs are in possession.

The Dutch like to control the tempo, which is why I think that Cameron Carter-Vickers will start the match again.

More comfortable on the ball than Walker Zimmerman, Carter-Vickers can help the USMNT up the tempo in the match.

Even Turner has been comfortable with the ball on his feet pushing forward as his training with Aaron Ramsdale at Arsenal is beginning to show in his game.

If the United States can dictate the tempo, good things -- like scoring early -- could come.

They may not have the depth to go toe-to-toe with the Netherlands for 120 minutes, so coming out of the blocks quickly will make a big difference in winning the match

Facing Virgil van Dijk in defense, the team will have to pull him into bad spots because the rest of the back line is error prone for the Netherlands
