Ok, so we know that Dempsey, Bradley & Howard are pretty inclusive on any sort of "best of" list because their clearly the closest things we have to wc players. Nxt thing i look at for qualifying for the best XI would be consistency, a players importance to the team and an emergence during this year as legitimate contributors. Bocanegra and Cherundolo, even though their on their last legs, and still put in solid, admirable appearances for the team. Johnson and Cameron along with Zusi are relative newcomers, but have already demonstrated quality that will have solidified their importance to the team going forward. Kljestan I have here, because it seems like when given the chance, with how ever many amount of minutes, has shown he's versatile enough to contribute where ever in the midfield and is constantly raising his stock while doing so. Given that with his club play and his importance to anderlecht in that regard, it'll be hard for Klinsmann to continue to call him up when other nat mids aren't getting playing time or producing results. The same case could be made for Mixx Diskerud though I suppose, but I believe Kljestan is the superior one at this point.
