The United States Men's National Team will be finishing out their 2014 schedule with two friendlies taking place in Europe.

Colombia is ranked third in the FIFA World Rankings and will be bringing a pretty strong squad for this game. 23-year-old Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez is included in the squad along with Jackson Martinez of FC Porto and the AC Milan duo of Pablo Armero and Cristian Zapata.
Next Tuesday, they will head west to Dublin, Ireland for a clash with the Republic of Ireland.

Three players with 100 or more caps are included; they are goalkeeper Shay Given of Aston Villa, defender John O'Shea of Sunderland, and Robbie Keane of the LA Galaxy.

Jürgen Klinsmann will probably change up some of the players per friendlies. Expect, Brad Guzman and Nick Rimando to each start a game. Also, expect all the substitutions to be used. Klinsmann will also put in World Cup starters and upcoming players. This is a great chance for people to see the future of this team. This roster is good enough to beat both opponents.
Jürgen Klinsmann on the roster, "We want to finish 2014 on a high note and continue to try to meet the top teams eye to eye. In these last two games we want our veterans to really become mentors both on and off the field, and we want to see our youngsters take advantage of the opportunity to make their case and grow from the experience. These performances will set the tone for 2015.”
