How shaken up could our staring XI be by the time of the world cup?

Jozy did some ok things yesterday, but clearly isn't in good form. He essentially had a handful of nice lay-off passes and holding play. Otherwise invisible.

I thought Dempsey looked bad. And he's a guy that generally can look like crap for 60 minutes and then put in a goal and make you kinda forget that he looked like crap.

Aaron looked a whole lot more threatening to me. Could he excel in that underneath role with his pace and ability to get off a shot? Runs from a bit deeper with Altidore laying it off to him? Can you see Aaron replacing Dempsey in the starting XI behind Altidore?

I'd love a guy with more pace, etc. Could also be Donovan behind Altidore allowing some of our other wing guys in? Jurgen is clearly experimenting with some guys on the wing.

It just seems to me that while we're building some good depth and some options in formation and attack roles, we're also seeing extremely poor form from some guys that were pretty much guaranteed starters. That leaves plenty of questions as we enter the home stretch. Its a good thing to build that depth, but the form of the starters has got to concern you. We clearly need Altidore and Dempsey at their best.

I don't think we have another guy that can do what Altidore does - so he probably is still the starter. I can definitely see Deuce on the bench though unless he really picks up.

One final thought - do you expect some line-up changes between the Portugal game in the heat and short turnaround to the Germany game? I certainly do. That Portugal game will be a killer and I am willing to bet on at least 1 late (last 10 minutes) goal if not 2.
