US v. Mexico

U.S. roster to face Mexico

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton FC),

Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Danny Califf (FC Midtjylland), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard de Liege), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock), Marvell Wynne (Toronto FC),

Midfielders: DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers), Michael Bradley (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew), José Francisco Torres (Pachuca),

Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Xerez C.D.), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Charlie Davies (Hammarby IF) Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC), Landon Donovan (Bayern Munich).

I can see where Bob'o's going with this but I'm not too sure what I think just yet. I don't like Dempsey listed as a forward... because he's not. He needs to stay on the wing and let Jozy be the outright forward and have Donovan recessed a little so he can deal with the ball more.. well with out saying anymore I'll give you my ideal lineup with the players above:

Timmy in Goal (obv)

From right to left in the back I'd like to see Wynne Boca Gooch and Jonny Born (Wynne on the right cause he was the man of the match in my eyes against the sweeeeeeeds.. boca and gooch.. heart and soul. and Jonny just cause he's a lil Mexican I feel that he might play a little harder.)

As for midfield Beas and Dempsey outside with Bradley recessed and Sascha more forward. (Torres is too young. Clark has done nothing ever.. well for me at least and Rodgers would come off the bench late)

Up top Jozy out right forward and Donovan a little recessed (if I was the manager Ching would never step foot on the pitch again I just don't like him.. I'd bring Davies in depending on the score line and the conditioning of the players)

My prediction is...... 1-1 draw... and I'ma be PISSED!

Until tomorrow where I'll rant some more about this game..

peace
