What you need to know about tomorrow U.S.-Colombia friendly

Three things you’ll learn from the U.S.-Colombia preview just posted at SI.com:

– There is a real possibility that we’ll see a completely new back line. And they’ll need to be on top of things, because Colombia has a damn good striker.

– Everyone wanted to know what Bob Bradley made just one substitution in a match where he could have used six. Well, it had a lot to do with this: He had seven players available, including one goalkeeper, one midfielder, one forward and four defenders. So, the options are limited.

– We should see a little better game from PPL Park, where the grass is cut for soccer, the field isn’t a temporary one laid over artificial turf and the width is an appropriate 75 yards. That wasn’t the case in the last two U.S. matches; anyone else happy to see the U.S. get a game on a good field?

For details, you’ll have to go read the preview. Carry on then …
