Jürgen Klinsmann stated that the American players called up to the roster to face Belgium and Germany would likely be the same players who would appear on the Gold Cup roster. This plan seems to be flawed because the performance of players against Belgium and Germany should affect who Klinsmann calls up to the United States Men’s National Team for the 2013 Gold Cup.
In light of the performances of certain players in Major League Soccer and other leagues and the fact that Klinsmann announced that Stuart Holden would be on the Gold Cup roster, World Soccer Source proposes the following 23 players for the United States’ Gold Cup roster:
Goalkeepers:
Brad GUZAN
Luis ROBLES
Dan KENNEDY
Center Backs:
Gale AGBOSSOUMONDE
George JOHN
Andrew FARRELL
Zach LOYD
Outside Backs:
Chris KLUTE
Eric LICHAJ
Kofi SARKODIE
Jonathan SPECTOR
Defensive Midfielders:
Perry KITCHEN (Also a Center Back)
Jeremy HALL
Amobi OKUGO (Also a Center Back)
Attacking Midfielders:
Benny FEILHABER
Joe CORONA
Stuart HOLDEN
Mix DISKERUD
Joe GYAU
Strikers:
Juan AGUDELO
Terrence BOYD
Tony TAYLOR
Eddie JOHNSON
Starting XI Proposal: Guzan; Sarkodie, John, Agbossoumonde, Klute; Kitchen; Holden, Feilhaber, Corona; Boyd, Agudelo
