Time for experimentation as Jurgen Klinsmann's squad wraps up 2014 against an average Ireland side expected to rotate its own XI.
The Boys in Green present far less attacking menace than Colombia, so the US returns to the aggressive approach that beat the Czech Republic in September. Jozy Altidore is flanked by a quick, technical duo and enterprise will be encouraged from mobile fullbacks.
Centrally, Mix Diskerud will be given all the tools to impress potential suitors in the January transfer window.
SUBS: Morris (debut) for Ibarra, Morales for Beckerman, Brooks for Besler, Wood for Altidore, Wondo for Rubio, Green for Bedoya.
