USA Vs. Costa Rica, 2011 International Friendly: Lineups

We're on match two of the Jurgen Klinsmann Era for US Soccer. Klinsmann will be without regular starters Clint Dempsey, Jermaine Jones, Micheal Bradley and Steve Cherundolo, but USA fans do get the return of Timmy Chandler. Jozy Altidore also returns to the side since injuring his hamstring in the Gold Cup Quarterfinal against Jamaica.

The Ticos are without Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell, but they'll be behind forward Alvaro Sabario who has been on fire as of late for Real Salt Lake in MLS. This is the final match under interim manager Ronald Gonzales as Jorge Luis Pinto was appointed on Thursday and will take over following this match.

United States:

Lineup: Tim Howard; Timmy Chandler, Michael Orozco Fiscal, Carlos Bocanegra (c), Edgar Castillo; Landon Donovan, Maurice Edu, Jose Francisco Torres; Robbie Rogers, Jozy Altidore, Brek Shea

Subs: Bill Hamid, Clarence Goodson, Jonathan Spector, Jeff Larentowicz, Sacha Kljestan, Tim Ream, Juan Agudelo

Costa Rica:

Lineup: Navas; Johnson, Umaña, Acosta, Miller; Barrantes, Azofeifa, Sanchez, Martinez, Saborio, Brenes
