Interesting selections:

Quote:

GOALKEEPERS: Brad Guzan (Middlesbrough/ENG), Tim Howard (Colorado Rapids), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

DEFENDERS: John Brooks (Hertha Berlin/GER), DaMarcus Beasley (Houston Dynamo), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City/ENG), Omar Gonzalez (Pachuca/MEX), Michael Orozco (Club Tijuana/MEX), Tim Ream (Fulham/ENG), Jorge Villafana (Santos Laguna/MEX), Walker Zimmerman (FC Dallas)

MIDFIELDERS
: Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas), Alejandro Bedoya (Philadelphia Union), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC/CAN), Jermaine Jones (LA Galaxy), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Moonchengladbach/GER), Sebastian Lletget (LA Galaxy), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers), Dax McCarty (Chicago Fire), Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund/GER)

FORWARDS
: Jozy Altidore (Toronto FC/CAN), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders), Jordan Morris (Seattle Sounders), Bobby Wood (Hamburg/GER)


* No Yedlin (injury), Garza, Birnbaum, Kljestan, Feilhaber, Wondo (amen?)
* Includes Orozco, Gonzales, Ream and Beasely

Surprising both Feilhaber and Kljestan were passed over. I guess Nagbe/Pulisic will be running the attack?

Might we see the 4-1-3-2 lineup?

It looks like there is no obvious choice for RB spot assuming that Cameron plays inside with Brooks again. Am I missing something? Perhaps with the glut of center backs Cameron will move back outside. Here is my lineup given the selection. I don't think Jozy and Woods are good complements to each other so one has to sit and I like the mix of Morris speed with hold up play of Jozy.

Howard
Cameron Gonzalez Brooks Villafana
Bradley
Johnson Nagbe Pulisic
Altidore Morris

All I'm going to say is that if Bobby Wood isn't starting, someone needs to fire Arena.

They have actually excelled when paired together, from what my memory tells me

Acosta? Ohhhkay

I don't see how you don't start Cameron and Broojs central, they clearly are our best pair and have shown such in game action.

No Wondo? I guess we'll finally see what photos/videos he had on Gulati and Klinsmann.

The last two games Jozy and Wood started together I believe we lost 4-0 and 2-1, we were dominated throughout the game and our coach was fired.

Saw Guzan was dropped from the roster, guess he's injured too. Looks like Howard will be in goal.

Well I'd be spending all my energy on Sydney Leroux as well so I can't blame him

West Coast prime time, for the first one. 7:30pm local time start is the same time as the next Dynamo home game, just in a different time zone. I assume it's similar for the second game, which is in Panama.

I saw a headline today that said "Despite injury, Brooks' club releases him for US WCQ games" or similar. Ugh.

Still, we only have two games right now, and then everyone has until June to get healthy. Honduras and Panama are both real live teams, but they should both be a step down from Mexico and Costa Rica. In the attack we have Nagbe, Pulisic, and Altidore. They've at least played together a bit - I know Nagbe has assisted Pulisic, who has assisted Altidore. I hope Arena embraces the future and starts those three, at a minimum. He's also got Morris and Dempsey.

Defense is what worries me right now, especially against Honduras' forwards.

I feel like our midfield playing strong could really help the defense out as well.
