Would we all panic and freakout if Dempsey doesn't start? Given our current on-form players, Dempsey might not be the best option on the left (Fabian Johnson), as a second striker (Bacon), or as a #10 (Donovan).

I agree. Except leaving Dempsey out...it'd be like not casting Harrison ford in a major role in Star Wars episode 7. Yea he may not be the most in form actor in the movie but you can't leave him out

JK said he saved Dempsey's 100th cap to beat Costa Rica down there which we have never done. He'll start.

I'm not his biggest fan, but he's the captain. He's not sitting.

I agree that's the most likely 11.

I would not be shocked if he picked Cameron over Evans or Brooks over Gonzo.

I agree with this.

True but an out of form defender isn't quite the same as an out of form attacking mid

Lichaj must have fricked Jurgen's wife. And his son. And then killed the family dog. And then lit the house on fire. And then burned a German flag. And then peed on the ashes while simultaneously fricking his wife again.

What did Lichaj ever do to Jurgen? I'd say he can play any position on D better than Castillo and Orozco. And for the love of God quit calling up Beckerman when we are using our A squad.

Beckerman serves a purpose, and Orozco is really a pretty strong player. I'd definitely take him over Lichaj as a CB.

He's the 4th best player on this roster at that position. At least bring in Corona who could play multiple attacking positions.

Huge Corona fan here, I definitely would have put him on the roster. Probably in place of Zusi, who has been terrible these past three weeks.

You mean, he was terrible when he didn't even play because of injury?

Oh, and about this roster, I like it.

I hope this is our starting XI:
-------------Jozy-------------
---Deuce-Landy-Zusi---
------Bradley-Jones------
Fab-Besler-JAB-Evans
------------Howard-----------

Bacon comes on around the 60' for Zusi and we switches positions with Landy. Mix comes in for Jones if we need some offense.
