With Orozco Fiscal out, expect Brooks to get the start at Center Left. Castillo and Parkhurst too risky to start at the back 4, Evans with WCQ experience at that position a safer bet. FJ's speed and comfort on the left will be helpful on the wing. Bradley as a #6 a no brainer paired with Jones. Diskerud coming off a quality GC campaign will get the start as the #10, plenty of attack and good command of the ball. Tempted to say EJ starts on the right of Diskerud but time and time again we've seen that EJ wears out quickly and can't go a full 90, so he is better as a halftime sub. Corona and Bedoya to get the nod from Klinsmann as both played excellently during the GC. Other options would be Terrence Boyd, but he is still green and lacks patience and composure. Might see him as a 2nd half sub as well.
