USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann says Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard remains his No1.
Aston Villa's Brad Guzan has been outstanding in recent months.
But Klinsmann insists: "Tim is No. 1, undoubtedly.
"The level [Guzan] played at in those two qualifiers make you feel a lot better about having such a strong No. 2, but there's no question about Tim Howard being the No. 1."
