Hypothetically, if the World Cup started today, and assume every US player in player pool is healthy (excluding Timmy Chandler) what's your best starting lineup (irrespective of who we match up against)

-------------Howard-------------
Dolo, Boca, Goodson, Fabian Johnson
----------Bradley, JJones ---------
Donovan------Dempsey-------Holden
-------------Gomez-------------

Even if Holden is healthy, he hasn't played in so long he would be too rusty as a starter.

--------------Howard------------
Dolo--Cameron-Boca--Johnson
-------------Bradley-----------
Donovan--Torres---Dempsey
---------Boyd----Altidore----

Subs:
-Guzan
-Goodson
-Edu
-Shea
-Jones
-Feilhaber
-Holden
-wondo or gomez (toss-up)

It's actually different than a line-up i posted a week or two ago, but just a few days ago i had the epiphany that this would win the world cup

As offensively tempting as your line-up is, I don't think that has any chance of happening, even if we're down.

-------Howard-------
Dolo-Cameron-Boca-FJ
--------JJ----------
---Bradley-Torres---
Landy---------Dempsey
------Altidore------

-------------------Howard--------------------
Lichaj/Chandler--Cameron--Goodson-----johnson
----------------Danny Williams---------------
Donovan------------Bradley------------Dempsey
------------Altidore------Boyd---------------

Subs
Lichaj/Chandler which ever one isn't starting
Hamid
Sean Johnson
Holden
Shea
Agudelo
Joe Corona
Kljestan
Parkhurst
Dolo
Bocanegra

i don't see dolo and boca starting, just because they got passed up by younger guys. I think they make on ability, leadership, and experience. I have danny williams starting because i don't think you can have jones starting and getting a red card in the 30th minute

Torres


Has shown flashes of being a competent international player.

He is like a cult hero on this board. If he's not in the 11 someone here will complain.

No injuries? John O'Brien paired with Bradley.

That's how I would play it if Holden was healthy.
