If Fabian Johnson can go, he bumps out Bedoya or Dempsey.
Guatemala is going to bunker to play for the draw, as it's all they need from this match.
The spine of Bradley, Nagbe, and Nguyen can provide the technical ability and creativity to find holes in the back line in a game where we should dominate possession.
Wood up top provides the busy-ness to keep the CBs occupied and hopefully provide openings.
Bedoya is more comfortable on the right side, and had a poor showing on the left on Friday. Likewise, Dempsey has occupied the left midfield role in the past, and is currently cutting in from this position for Seattle.
