Keeper - Given it to Tim for this one. Think he deserves it and is a US legend.
Defense - Worked well last time besides Yedlin's error so I see no reason to change it. I wish Omar was called up though. Like Besler but do not think he is as good as him.
Defensive Midfield - Bradley is an obvious choice. Can be creative and very clever on the dribble. While Jones is much more athletic than Kyle, he can stay in the pocket better than him and is more disciplined. Both are past their primes and I am disappointed JK did not call up another young CM.
Attacking Midfield - Johnson on the left is obvious. Zardes can thrive outwide as well and has tons of potential. We need to keep developing him. Nagbe is one of the most technically gifted players on the field and the best dribbler. He has amazing passing and does a really good job playing possession, something we desperately need. He can drop back out of that 10 role a bit and let Bradley push up. Adds lots of flexibility in the midfield.
Forward - With AJ injured, Jozy is the only one that has the skill to consistently hold up play and score. He is overrated and has attitude problems but I give him the nod over Wood.
