da 888casino： Two latecomers are now in camp as the U.S. finally has a full roster ready to go for the knockout rounds

da mrbet： After a perfect group stage, the United States Under-20 men's national team has now arrived at the part that really counts. As good as their introduction to the World Cup has been, it's been just that: an introduction. The group stage is over; welcome to the knockouts.

Wins over Ecuador, Fiji and Slovakia have propelled the U.S. to the last 16, where they'll face New Zealand on Tuesday. The Junior All Whites topped Guatelama, drew with Uzbekistan and were thumped by hosts Argentina in their own group stage run. The U.S., by all accounts, will be favorites.

Part of the reason for that is that Mikey Varas finally has his whole squad in camp. After starting the tournament down two players – Kevin Paredes and Rokas Pukstas – due to club commitments, Varas navigated the group stage brilliantly, rotating just enough to keep everyone fresh. Now that the cavalry has arrived, the U.S. has a full squad with no injuries or suspensions to speak of.

Now, though, Varas will have some tough decisions. It'll be tough to take some players out of the XI, and it'll be tough to know just how fit several key players can be. And, with one eye on a potential quarter-final match against Gambia or Uruguay, will Varas need to rotate a bit to keep players fresh for the knockout run?

With that said, here's a look at how the U.S. could line up against New Zealand:

No need to waste time here and no long explanation is needed. Slonina is the starter and will be for as long as the U.S. are in this tournament. The Chelsea goalkeeper has been fantastic so far, making big saves despite not facing too many shots.

The first big decision Varas will have to make: who should start at left back? It's between Wiley, Paredes and Jonathan Gomez. We'll go with Wiley, who should be somewhat fresh after coming off the bench against Serbia.

However, just because Wiley is starting, doesn't mean we won't see Paredes and Gomez in this XI…

The Philadelphia Union star may just have been the team's best player in the group stage, so he'll almost certainly keep his spot. The question will be if and when the U.S. can get him rest.

Craig played all 270 minutes in the group stage, and it remains to be seen if he can maintain his high level as this tournament wears on. If he does, the U.S. have a fantastic defender and passer to anchor the backline.

The Louisville City defender has been solid so far, showing why Benfica are reportedly set to sign him in this summer. Varas could stick with the 3-5-2 formation that worked so well against Slovakia, adding Justin Che to the mix, but the best bet is that he goes with the Wynder-Craig pairing for this one.
