USWNT showed that you don't cater to an underachieving legend in a big tournament. That said, USMNT needs experience and defense against Colombia. I'd wait to unleash the kids against CR and Paraguay (or maybe late vs COL), when we'll need more creativity. Wood & Zardes have 3 in the last two, plus an assist, so I'm not going to mess with what's working. And I'll still take a slumping Dempsey over Wondo in international play.
