Does USA Have Enough Depth? Could They Beat Spain? Maurice Edu Answers Fans' Questions

The USA doesn't enter the knockout stage coming off a positive result, but I'm unfazed. We didn't see the Americans' go-to lineup in that game, and I'm looking at the round-of-32 matchup on Wednesday night positively.

Let's get to your questions ahead of the matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Help us believe the USMNT has what it takes to win a World Cup when they lost to Türkiye.

The match against Türkiye was what it was. It was a chance to rest some key players and get others some run.

I’m not putting much into this game. There are some lessons to learn; conceding a last-minute goal is never great. The U.S. definitely could have been better defensively as a collective unit. Ultimately, though, that was not our best XI on the field.

In terms of how to feel coming out of that game, the confidence of this group is going to grow if we get a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some of these players have played in the knockout stage before, but they have not won, so a win would be huge.

Also, the belief among the fanbase will also grow with a win. We have a pathway moving forward that is now clearly defined, and the approach has to be to take it one game at a time.

With every positive result, though, and every 90 minutes that this team gets together, it’s going to increase their confidence, as well as the fans’ belief that we can keep hitting these new milestones and accomplish something special.

Our depth is looking weak. What reserve players can we count on?
