Concacaf Qualifiers:
Altidore has not been scoring for the USMNT but his physicality is needed for these matches.
Bradley and Dempsey are no brainers.
Shea had speed to slip through to the corner and wreak on defenders banged up by Altidore.
Zusi is Donovan's replacement since it seems like he will not be available.
Not 100% on Zones being the lone D Mid. This player should have a defender first mentality. He likes to push forward too much but he was only option I could think of at the time. (Edu has not played first team in quite a while)
Williams has impressed me when he has played. I don't think we have a solid leftback yet but he is one of the top choices.(Parkhurst being another)
Boca's age is showing and a new partner for Cameron is needed. Cameron and Gonzalez partnering up in center. Cameron gets plently of play time at Stoke and covers very well. Gonzalez is no speedster but his aerial presence is amazing.(Cameron is not fast either but could cover his slowness for the most part)
Cherundolo is getting up there at 33 but still puts in great performances 9 games out of 10. He is the veteran leader in defense. Chandler can wait...
Timmy between guarding the woodwork usual!
