This is meant to be a 4-4-2 diamond.
Dempsey and Altidore are the easy choices up top.
In midfield, Beckerman is the easy choice in back (despite not starting there in the warm up game). I think Zardes has shown enough to warrant a start on the left. Fabian Johnson is a great choice here too, but I think we need him more at LB. I like Bedoya on the right (although I think Yedlin will get the nod).
On defense, we will need to bring our fullbacks all the way into the attack, so we need guys with the speed to track back quickly on a counter. Those guys are Fabian Johnson and DeAndre Yedlin.
