The only things I might disagree with is DeMerit and Bunbury. I'm thinking Whitbread unless Bradley wants to just bring 3 CB's. Spector/Edu are able to fill in should there be injuries. That would allow an extra midfielder, possibly Mix?

Bunbury is probable if he takes 4 forwards, though he could take Wondolowski I suppose. Again, I think there's a chance he brings 3 forwards and an extra midfielder to have more options in a 4-5-1/4-3-3
 
DeMerit is a lock, and probably a lock as a starter. He is back in action for Vancouver now and considering his past marking duties for us (Messi, Rooney, Torres) there is no doubt that he is IN. His starting position can be argued I guessed.

DeMerit looked pretty poor when I watched him last weekend. I hadn't realized he had a midweek game where he played 90. I don't know if he was rusty from the injury or if he's just dropped off physically, but I wouldn't take him after seeing that.

The midweek match was that Canidan Cup crap or whatever it's called. I thought he impressed vs Argentina. And he got injured in the last USMNT match so I don't really remember much of his performance.
 
I'm not sure if I understand the love for Mixx. The assist to Juan was beautiful but what else is there? I think the fact that he was the only player in the march friendlys to see 0 playingtime is telling. Also midfield is our deepest position so I just don't think it's his time yet.
