The tactical read
USA typically set up in 3-5-2 and make their first change around minute 62 - roughly 4 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 5 matches, the same shape held up in 3 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' at home to Belgium; the longest wait stretched to 87' at home to Bosnia & Herzegovina.
They've won more than they've lost across these 5 matches (3-0-2) - a manager riding momentum tends to stick with what's working, so don't expect wholesale changes to the plan.
