Both Donovan and Bedoya have typically been hardworking 2-way wingers which is why i went 4-1-3-2 and actually dropped Jones to the bench (too inconsistent, don't trust him in the '6' role). Parkhurst isn't playing so I moved Johnson to right back, sat Beas, and brought on Castillo (who knows the Mex players well). We can't start Gonzo and Goodson as twin towers because Mexico has too much speed, so I am moving Orozco back to the middle (natural position). We need goals and we need to generate our own pressure which is why I'm starting 2 strikers. It won't happen, but I like Guzan's athleticism and reaction times (they'll be needed) more than Howard's leadership and positioning in goal.
