Guzan will get the start and probably be subbed at halftime for Johnson or Hamid. I think Yedlin will get the nod at RB, because JK wants to see how the US will play with Yedlin and FJ rampaging down the flanks. Jones and Brooks will start at CB, because I think JJ and Brooks will work well together since they are both German, and will be able to communicate effectively with each other. Besler and Cameron will probably come in in the 2nd half. Fabian will get the nod at LB, and maybe get moved to RB as the game goes on to make way for Garza. In the midfield I see Bedoya on the right flank. He has been one of the most consistent players for club and country this season, so he deserves a nod. In CM I see Diskerud as the #8 and Nguyen putting in the shift as the #10. Nguyen is the best pure CAM in the player pool right now, so I see him feeding Jozy and maybe Jozy getting a goal or two. Green needs a boost in form and playing time, and Klinsmann wants to prove that he was right to take a risk on Green, so he'll start as a LM / Winger. Also Beckerman is the unsung World Cup hero, who should have started against Belgium, but didn't. I think he will provide a security blanket that will allow Diskerud and Nguyen to push forward and link up with Jozy.
