USMNT striker Power Rankings ahead of the World Cup

USMNT vs. Saudi Arabia player ratings: Let's do this quick and forget it ever happened
Oh boy. After getting played off the pitch against Japan last Friday, our USMNT vs Saudi Arabia player ratings from Tuesday's friendly in Spain aren't much better.
