I'm pretty confident Klinnsmann will go with this lineup. Altidore and Wood should start at forward. I expect Johnson to beat on the left wing again. Acosta will probably start at left back again. I picked Gonzalez to replace Besler, but I could easily see Birnbaum replacing him instead. I expect Orozco will replace Yedlin since he was brought in to camp. Beckerman will probably start again, but Nagbe or Kljestan might start but probably not. I don't expect Pulisic to start. Overall I think this a strong lineup with experience that should beat a team like Trinidad. I expect Pulisic to come on a sub as well as probably Nagbe, Kljestan or Morris. Remember the US has only lost once at home since the 1990 world cup. Also Trinidad hasn't scored in the US in qualifying since 1990.
