The only spots up for debate are the wings/shuttlers with Johnson/Nagbe and Bedoya/Acosta. In a perfect world it would be Nagbe on the left and Johnson on the right, but as we saw against Venezuela this leaves the US too exposed on the counter with Bradley left on an island with no defensive support. That's where Bedoya or Acosta comes into play. I'd be fine with either one as long as they're pinched in providing Bradley an outlet, thus allowing Yedlin full license to get forward.
