    Who'd make up Klinsmann's "B" team?

    When Klinsmann announced – or hinted, at least – that he’d be bringing a “B” team of his own to next summer’s Gold Cup, I was happy about the news. I don’t particularly want to see another 5-0 (or even 4-2) loss.

    With that in mind, let’s jump ahead seven months and try to figure out what Klinsmann’s “B” team will look like. First, though, a few caveats:

    GK: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan will likely take us all the way through 2018
    LB: Eric Lichaj, Justin Morrow
    CD: Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez
    RB: Chance Myers, Steven Beitashour
    DM: Dax McCarty, Perry Kitchen
    RM: Nick DeLeon, Josh Gatt
    CM: Benny Feilhaber, Michael Farfan
    LM: Chris Pontius, Dilly Duka
    Support Striker: Darlington Nagbe, Luis Silva
    Center Forward: Will Bruin, C.J. Sapong

    Freddy Adu is a wild card here. He’d be a vastly different look, but as EJ just showed us, you can’t write off anyone who’s got a unique skill set
