Tim Howard has been on fire for the Rapids lately. Yedlin and Chandler will fill in as wingers on the attack. Brooks will add stability in the back. I usually wouldn't pick Gonzalez, but he plays in Mexico and is used to the movements of Mexican Attackers. Jones will break up tackles and Bradley will distribute from the back. He will push up with the attack as will. Pulisic and Green have the speed to keep up with the Mexican midfield. Usually I would play Johnson in the back, but I need him in midfield to hold the ball up in the attack because Pulisic and Green don't have the size. Altidore historically plays well vs Mexico so I see him as a player for the gutter balls. I would throw in Woods, Bedoya, and Vickers as subs.
