LOS ANGELES, June 12 : U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino has selected Matt Freese over Matt Turner to start in goal in Friday's World Cup match at Los Angeles Stadium while Julio Enciso will make a surprise start for Paraguay despite a recent injury.
• U.S. starting lineup includes defender Chris Richards, who had been working his way back from an ankle injury.
• Folarin Balogun and Christian Pulisic spearhead U.S. attack and captain Tim Ream will lead the home side's defence.
• Enciso's presence should provide a boost to a Paraguay squad that has struggled to score in recent matches.
