Stick with what's gotten us this far. Would be great to have Donovan on the right, but Williams played such a great game last game, you've got to integrate him as the right wing and move Donovan over to the left. All this assuming Donovan can play (why else would he have gotten the call-up), but wouldn't be surprised if he's subbed out for Shea on the left later in the game.
Experience on the back line with Boca and Cherundolo. Cameron had a great couple of games for the National Team, so he gets the nod over Edu/Goodson. Johnson on the left back, even though that's not his natural position. We just don't have anyone else to put there.
Bradley roaming the 6. Jones in the middle earning yellow cards. Wouldn't be surprised to see Zusi in for Jones, depending on what Klinsi wants. If we get in a hole, Zusi will definitely see the field.
Dempsey roaming behind Gomez. Could also see us switch into a 4-3-2-1, with both Dempsey and Donovan roaming behind Gomez looking for goals.
Expect both Antigua and Guatemala to bunker and look for the counter. Gonna need some sweet passes from Bradley and Donovan. Bradley and Jones will also have to be our enforcers on the break.
