The U.S. Men’s National Team takes on Turkey in the second match of their farewell tour and is the last to be played in the United States. The match will be broadcast on ESPN 2 at 12:30pm CT. Who do you think will start? I will give two projections, one of who I think should start and one of who I think will start.

I think the USMNT should focus on getting their best 11 on the field. If that is the case here is who I would put out there:

FWD: Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey
MF: LM-DeMarcus Beasley, CMs-Michael Bradley/Stuart Holden, RM-Landon Donovan
DEF: LB- Carlos Bocanegra, CBs- Oguchi Onyewu/Jay Demerit, RB-Jonathan Spector
GK: Tim Howard

I think Bob Bradley is looking for a specific line-up which I am not sure what that is but based on past line-ups and the roster here is what I think we will see:

FWD: Altidore and Edson Buddle
MF: LM-Donovan, CMs-Bradley/Maurice Edu, RM- Dempsey
DEF: LB-Jonathan Bornstein, CBs-Onyewu/Bocanegra, RB-Spector
GK: Howard

In my opinion the guys in the first line-up have earned the right to play and start from this point on. We will see how Bradley will approach the world cup from a strategy and personnel prospective.

What would your line-up be?
