This could, and probably will end up looking completely different. Key is to stabilize existing relationships while giving 2nd and 3rd stringers fighting for the plane to Brazil a fair chance to make a case.
1. Final striker spot - Wondo vs. Johnson. Wondo played the whole Korea game, so might as well give Johnson 70 minutes.
Left Wing - Julian Green definitely doesn't start as, at best, the extent of his WC hopes are as a super-sub. Haven't seen Donovan on the left since the last Mexico match, but Davis, if he's still in the running, could play as well.
DM - Beckerman-Bradley haven't played much together this past year, so that takes primacy over giving Edu a look, although we could seem him subbed in.
Backline - Could see Goodson, but might as well give them Matt and Omar all the partnership time they can get. I think Evans is a lock as #2 RB behind Cameron, so no harm in giving Parkhurst a look. It's also then easier to slide him over to CB in the second half as an experiment.
