Defense: Chandler, Brooks and Alvarado have all proven they cannot be relied upon for a full 90. And Beasley wasn't brought out of international retirement to sit the bench.
Midfield: Any USMNT diamond should automatically include Bradley, Beckerman and Bedoya. The fourth spot was a toss-up between Zardes and Corona. I love Zardes as a player, but not as a midfielder. It's time to play him at his natural position.
Forward: I thought about throwing Zardes into the starting XI as a forward, but I think Johannsson has also earned it. Toss-up between them.
