Key Players
Michael Bradley (USA) - A two-way midfielder who has been the most consistent player for the USA in the hexagonal. He'll be counted on Tuesday night to break up counterattacks from Honduras and link up with the forwards in the attack.
Roger Espinoza (Honduras) - The former Sporting KC midfielder has a workrate second to none. Besler recently said of his former teammate, "I think he's got a terrific engine and he's a valuable member of that team. He's a guy we're going to have to keep an eye on and make sure that we match his intensity."
