This is an attacking line-up. Besler steps in for the injured John Brooks, Yedlin and Villafana feature as overlapping outside backs. Zusi may seem odd, but playing him provides defensive cover as Yedlin advances. No Fabian Johnson because he has not played in a competitive game yet for his club. I went with Wood over Dempsey so that Clint can come in as a super-sub, but he could easily start.
