For the most part, the lineup has basically sorted itself out through the course of the four games of the GC. Dempsey and AJ are the best forwards right now, Bradley and Beckerman the best center mids, Bedoya and Zardes have been the most effective wingers, Fabian Johnson is Fabian Johnson and clearly Guzan is the starter in goal...
That leaves three spots. Brooks is the most-skilled US CB and Omar the most-experienced on this roster. It's not ideal if they go against a small, fast player but their strengths make up for it. The other question is whether to start Beasley at LB and move FJ over to the right but I suspect Klinsmann rolls the dice with Chandler for another game.
