So have begun the preparations for the oh so critical 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Though guessing the roster for a tournament some five months in advance is a bit redundant, it's entertaining at worst. Five matches into the 2014 World Cup cycle, and we've mixes of experience (Brazil, Poland, Colombia), and youth (South Africa, Chile). So what does this tell us about the potential 23 man roster for the June tournament? Here is how I see the roster filling out:
Goalkeepers: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Sean Johnson
Defenders: Steve Cherundolo, Eric Lichaj, Oguchi Onyewu, Clarence Goodson, Carlos Bocanegra, Tim Ream, Jonathan Bornstein
Midfielders: Landon Donovan, Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Maurice Edu, Stuart Holden, Jonathan Spector, Alejandro Bedoya, Mikkel Diskerud
Forwards: Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore, Edson Buddle, Teal Bunbury, Juan Agudelo
Last players off: Jay DeMerit, Sacha Kljestan, Jose Torres, Hurculez Gomez, Michael Parkhurst, Zach Loyd, Omar Gonzalez, Dominic Cervi
Starting 11:
-----------------------Howard
Cherundolo-----Onyewu-----Goodson-----Bocanegra
------------------Jones--------Bradley
Dempsey--------------Holden--------------Donovan
-----------------------Altidore
What do you guys think? Who did I miss? Think any U-20 guys (other than Agudelo) could make a quick rise through the ranks?
