Who Starts Against South Africa?

Ever since the roster came out I've been debating amongst myself and others about the route that Bob Bradley would take moving forward.  Seeing as there are 18 men for this roster, it would seem a pretty safe bet that everyone will play, if healthy.  That being said, here is the starting lineup that I see Bob Bradley playing out of the gate:

------------------Guzan

Lichaj-----Spector-----Goodson-----Bornstein

------------Carroll-------Pause

Bedoya-------------------------------Rogers

------------Bunbury-----Agudelo

Brad Guzan is the easy pick to start in goal for this one, but look for Cervi to get a half at least for his first cap. 

With Eric Lichaj clearly being the more impressive between he and Jonathan Spector, I see a move for Spector inside, where he is comfortable, and has played there before with West Ham and at various youth levels.  Central defense has become surprisingly thin.  Added depth can never hurt.  Clarence Goodson takes up his position in the middle, and Jonathan Bornstein, the likely captain, fills in on the left.  Tim Ream has played left back in college, so it is very possible that we see him get some time there, with Gale Agbossoumonde and Nat Borchers each getting a fair shake as well

In midfield, I'm not sure why Bob Bradley called in Brian Carroll and Logan Pause, as it would seem neither have much of a future with the Nats.  Knowing Bobs typical cautious style, he likely starts with the holding mids to set the pace, then ups the temperature a bit by introducing the more attack minded Mikkel Diskerud at halftime.  Alejandro Bedoya and Robbie Rogers on the flanks round out the midfield, with Eddie Gaven the as the back up for both.

Up top, the two youth should get the call from the get go, might as well in my opinion.  Robbie Findley is a known quantity.   Juan Agudelo and Teal Bunbury offer some flash and youthful exuberance to a position in desperate need of it. 

So there it is.
