Still fun to speculate. Brazil isn't that far away.

I think this is it exactly. Although it wouldn't shock me if Cherundolo started over Chandler.

Starters are in bold. I couldn't decide between Sacha and Holden. I think Sacha is the better player right now but I'm holding out hope Stu has a great club year and returns to pre-injury form.

Goalkeepers: Howard, Guzan, Rimando
Central Defense: Besler, Omar, Goodsen, Cameron (but he can play all around the field)
Right back: Chandler, Cherundolo
Left back: Beasley, F. Johnson
Center Mid: Our deepest position. Bradley, Jones, Mix
Wingers/Attacking Mids: Donovan, Zusi, Corona,
Forwards: Jozy, Dempsey, E. Johnson, Herc
As you may have noticed, that is 21 players. The final 2 will be one from central midfield (Holden if healthy and in form) and one who is a dynamic change of pace sub. I am losing faith Shea will be that guy. I don't think Bedoya is good enough, either. If no one sticks out, then just put in another center mid, I suppose. I really wish Gatt had a chance to be that guy though.

I dunno man Bedoya has looked much better than Shea as of late. Although granted Shea has looked like shite..

Really? Sacha plays terribly in a US kit.

Jurgen seems to like to have him around. Most of my answers are based off who jurgen has been calling in.

He's been called up a lot but has not really seen the field at all. Hell, Holden has seen the field more than him.

I agree with this 23, but I would use the same 11 as our past few WCQ's with Donovan replacing Zusi at RW.

Well if we sent a squad today I think he'd be on it. I could be dead wrong though but only klinsi and his staff know exactly who they would bring.

Beaz at LB > Bornstein at LB or older Boca like in 2010.

Yeah, he really is a terrible winger. Not as bad as Shea has been lately, though.

Neither should be on the team, would take Torres over both of them.
