Not much of a change from Friday night's match but this line-up offers a combination of experience and ability. Bringing Brek Shea in could be a bit of a stretch but his physical ability could give Mexico all kinds of trouble and I like the idea of him working with Dempsey and Altidore. Edu stepping in Center-Back is mainly an athleticism move as Goodson will get run around by Mexico's forwards. He also has experience playing the position against Mexico (The lone win in Azteca last year). Gomez's work rate should help Beasley out on the left flank. All and all, it offers a good mix of offensive firepower with defensive ability. This could easily turn into a 4-5-1 at times during the game, especially if the Yanks are able to grab an early goal.
