Herculez Gomez (Striker) - 12 Goals this season Primera Division club Santos and won the FMF Championship this season. With veteran experience Hurculez is a must start.


Jozy Altidore (Striker) - Scoring 19 Goals this season with club AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands league. Altidore is changing the way US strikers are made and maybe one of the best U.S. soccer ever produced.


Clint Dempsey (CAM) - With the season of the EPL ending and one of the best leagues in the world of Soccer, Dempsey scored 22 goals for Fullem F.C.. His win against Italy at home soil proved that the U.S. has a chance of reaching high grounds in FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil.


Jose Torres (LW) - Back from injury with Primera Division club Pachoca, Torres is A quick and crafty midfielder, Torres brings quick feet and effective passing to the U.S. midfield. Glad to have him back.


Landon Donovan (RW) - No introductions here. Caption America during the off season was called up to for a 2 month loan, January though February 2012 at Everton F.C. EPL. Donovan played full 90 minutes in all 9 appearances with 6 assist. Donovan completed 14 passes that led to Everton shots. Leads the entire league since his first match Jan. 4 2012. This just proves that Lando still has what it takes to qualifies the U.S. to FIFA World Cup 2014 Brazil.


Michael Bradley (CM) - General Bradley is what they call him at his current club Chievo Verona (Italy) Serie A league. General Bradley started 90% of the games this season full 90 minutes. Scored 1 goal. Bradley patrols the center of the field with energy and savvy and is one of the USA’s most consistent performers.


Fabian Johnson (LB) - With current club Hoffenheim (Germany) Bundesliga. Scoring 3 goals, Fabian displays skill, vision and versatility. He has shown signs of bringing a different element to the U.S. midfield and defense. My choice Left back position.


Carlos Bocanegra (LCB) - Two time world cup veteran defender is still one of the U.S. favorite picks. Played 90% of all games with current club Rangers (Scotland) SPL and scored 3 goals this season. Possessing strength and deceptive speed, he has added savvy and composure to the list of traits that have made him a key component to the U.S. backline.


Oguchi Onyewu - Porting Clube de Portugal (Portugal) league. Scoring 4 goals this season and playing total minutes 2,375 minutes lol!! Gooch a supremely athletic defender with towering aerial capabilities. Onyewu has been a mainstay in central defense for several years and fought his way back from injury. He has earned his spot back for a U.S. call up.

Steve Cherundolo (RB) - Plays for Hannover 96 (Germany) Bundesliga. Remaining one of the USA’s most consistent high-level performers, Cherundolo combines tidy marking and composed play with well-timed forays into the attack. Played 3,075 minutes this season. Steve is consider to be one of the U.S. deadly right back weapon.


Tim Howard (Goalkeeper) - Ranked 20th best keeper in the world out of 50 Bleach Reporter. Timmy is an athletic and intelligent goalkeeper, he has cemented his place in the line of great U.S. goalkeepers. Plays for Everton F.C. (England) EPL one of the best leagues in the world, plays every game.
