I don't really believe Klinsmann when he says he'll call up his best players for the March friendlies and interfere with the beginning of the MLS season - he just likes getting under their skin. But if JK did call in everyone available, I think this is his best XI at the moment (I also don't think he'd ever bench Jones, so you can probably scratch one of my center-back choices). Youngsters/newbies I'd like to see get some time in March would be Alvarado, Birnbaum, Hyndman, Nguyen and Rubin. It's a vanilla 4-4-2, but it's what the U.S. does best.
