GettyGOAL takes a look at what the U.S. could look like against Canada
Reported new U.S. men's national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino hasn't arrived just yet, but he is likely watching the team's September camp closely.

The audition process has already started for the members of the USMNT and these friendlies are a chance for everyone to make a good first impression.
