Likely will be Julian Green plus a bunch of MLS & Liga MX.

I'm interested to find out if we will see the returns of Herc, Torres and Edu.

Would take Herculean efforts on their parts to sniff Brazil right now. Torres is hot garbage in a grease fire in a volcano

Herc is in CCL that week...Likely no Tijuana players is what is being put out.

José Torres has been playing well for Tigres in Monterrey. Klinsmann has always utilized him out of position during his brief stints with the national team recently. He's played out wide as a left mid in a tactical system that lacks quality possession players and even at left-back once, even though he's never once been considered anything remotely resembling a defender.

Bob Bradley played him centrally a few times. He never really fit in with Bob's preference for two defensively-minded center mids. He can either play as a DLP or as a true #10. He can play out on the left, if we're using a more "Spanish" version of a 4-2-3-1. But, I don't see anyone close to Busquets or Xavi in terms of dictating tempo appearing in the near future.

Bob played him centrally with Mastroeni and Bradley once...on the road, against Costa Rica. That was a clusterfrick.

But yeah, he was definitely a square peg that Bob desperately wanted to fit into his system.

Forgot about that, which means no Herc, Castillo ( ) or Corona

Torres plays for Tigres?

Tigres aren't in the CCL this year.

Yeah, that should say Corona, not Torres.

My bad for some reason I read Torres and thought Castillo. Castillo is the worst. If deployed correctly Torres can have Gold Cup value.

I think it's relatively safe to say that this will be our starting XI:

Rimando
Evans-Gonzales-Besler-Beasley
Beckerman-Bradley
Zusi-Dempsey-Donovan
GAM

No way in hell Jurgen starts an 18 year old against Mexico in his first real camp with the squad.

He'll definitely be one of the 6 subs used though.

Of the forwards that were brought in, Green needs to start.
