US starting lineup against Argintina
Here is the official starting lineup:
-----------------Howard---------------
Cherundolo--Califf--Onyewu--Pearce
Dempsey--Bradley--Mastroeni--Beasley
-----Johnson------Donovan (c)---------
Looks like Landon Donovan will get his 100th cap and do it as captain.
My concern with this lineup is the lack of creativity in the midfield. With Michael Bradley playing below his level the last couple matches, he will need to turn it on in order to give Johnson and Donovan something to work with.
On the defensive side of things, Mastroneni could win his way back onto the squad if he plays tough without crap fouls in the midfield while Califf has the chance of a lifetime to make Bob Bradley think about changing his center back duo.

no adu? EJ again? total rubbish....
I agree, what was Bradley thinking not starting Adu, the best player on the team. Eddie Johnson has done absolutely nothing for the US in YEARS! Take him off the roster, or for chrissake the starting 11. Good to see Kljestan get some time. Where's Convey, injured?
