Jesse Marsch has spoken up on the similarities that his Leeds United side shares with the USA national team as the Stars and Stripes get set to take on England and Wales in Group B in Qatar over the ten days.
The draw, which was made last April, pitted USA and Wales together at a World Cup for the first time, whilst it will be the third rodeo between Gregg Berhalter's men and the Three Lions after meetings in 1950 and 2010. With all three eager to qualify for the knockout rounds, it will be no easy feat finishing in the top two - though Marsch believes anything is possible for his home nation.
The Wisconsin-born Whites' boss made just two appearances for his country, though he was a coach in the national setup for the 2010 World Cup, which saw Clint Dempsey cancel out Steven Gerrard's opener thanks to THAT Robert Green howler. And, in an interview with The Athletic, Marsch has made comparisons between his Leeds outfit and the USA team - detailing how the side may set up in the tournament if they are to take a result.
