Big question will be how everyone recovers from the Costa Rica game, b/c everyone played phenomenally.
Damarcus stepped in admirably at LB, and there's reason to not think he'll fill the same role in Mexico, where he's more used to the environment and the players (both b/c of int'l & Liga MX exp)
Goodson was the other surprise for CB last game, but Klinsi clearly wanted a little more "experience" back there. wouldn't be surprised if he goes with the same thought this time around.
Edu makes the most sense as Jones' replacement, and I'd put him alongside Bradley, with Zusi running point above them.
The forward 3 are playing great soccer right now, and have lined up like that before, so if they're fit, i'd definitely see them complete the 4-3-3 as the front trio.
Man, I can't wait for Tuesday night! Would be monumental if (should i say when?) we win in Azteca for the first time in WCQ. Let's go boys!
