The only explanation for Bob Bradley's USMNT roster for the upcoming WCQ vs Guatemala is that he wants to put together a team of regulars that have played together a number of times. If you ask me there are too many old people on this team.

GOALKEEPERS: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan.

DEFENDERS: Oguchi Onyewu, Carlos Bocanegra, Heath Pearce, Steve Cherundolo, Frankie Hejduk, Jay DeMerit.

MIDFIELDERS: Michael Bradley, Maurice Edu, Sacha Kljestan, Pablo Mastroeni, Eddie Lewis, Demarcus Beasley

FORWARDS: Landon Donovan, Eddie Johnson, Brian Ching, Clint Dempsey.

Here's how I think we should start, disregarding all that I know about Bob Bradley:

                                     Eddie Johnson        

                                    Landon Donovan   

Demarcus Beasley                                       Clint Dempsey

                        Maurice Edu      Pablo Mastroeni            

Heath Pearce                                              Steve Churundalo

                Oguchi Onyewu          Carlos Bocanegra

                                           

                                     Tim Howard

Here is how I can almost assure you that we will start (or something just as silly with awful stirkers and people out of position) :

                    Eddie Johnson         Brian Ching

Landon Donovan                                       Clint Dempsey

                  Michel Bradley          Pablo Mastroeni

Heath Pearce                                                Steve Churundalo

                Oguchi Onyewu            Carlos Bocanegra

                                        Tim Howard
