Starting XI vs Trinidad and Tobago?

The players in the picture above all started last time the Americans confronted Trinidad and Tobago, but most of them won't play today much less start, as they've been released back to their club teams after the 6-1 shredding of Cuba which gave the United States a berth in the Hexagonal next year.

Here's how I think Bob Bradley will line the guys up for tonight's encounter against Trinidad and Tobago...

-----------------------Guzan------------------------
--Wynne----------Califf---Orozco--------Pearce----
----------------Edu-------------Torres-------------
----Kljestan-----------Adu------------Beasley-----
---------------------Altidore----------------------


I still see Bradley continuing his experimentation with the 4-5-1 but this time it'll be with younger faces starting.

Brad Guzan will get the nod at the back after Tim Howard was released back to Everton following the Americans win over the Leones del Caribe.

I see the four defenders in front of "El Guzano" consisting of Marvell Wynne, Danny Califf, Michael Orozco and Heath Pearce. The back four appear to be mostly inexperienced which could be a weakness for the States tonight. But I think we'll see the duo of Maurice Edu and Jose Francisco Torres in front of the defense as they'll both attempt to neutralize the center of the pitch and create attacks.

Sacha Kljestan will move a little bit higher on the pitch as he'll probably be pushed out wide to play right attacking mid, a position he is familiar with. On the left we'll see the incumbent DaMarcus Beasley get the nod as he continues to build chemistry with LB, Pearce. Expect Freddy Adu to be lined up in the center behind lone striker Jozy Altidore as the two teenagers have quite the understanding with one another.

The team looks relatively young and I wouldn't be surprised if the Americans came out of the gate a bit slow tonight, but we'll find out soon enough.
