The sub was because of an injury, and Yedlin may be an improvement because of his speed.

I’m aware of the injury. Yedlin is very quick but Johnson is one of the few US midfielders to play well throughout the tournament.

If he’s healthy, the substitution I would have made at halftime is Altidore for Zusi, who has been a defensive liability, with Dempsey dropping back to midfield. But with one sub already used and (hopefully) a goalless draw at halftime and possible extra time to consider, Klinsmann probably won’t entertain that option.

Never good to have to burn a first half substitution in potentially a 120-minute game.

Your guys are playing well. An absorbing game to watch so far. I have resisted putting any money on this one because it’s too close to call!
