The United States hands DaMarcus Beasley his 100th cap on Wednesday night, starting him at left back the absence of the team's two natural left backs. Clarence Goodson has returned to the center of defense after sitting out the Mexico game with an injury. Tim Howard keeps his place in goal for the U.S. over Brad Guzan, despite some calls for a switch. Belgium has a mostly first-choice squad, though Eden Hazard has been kept at home. They've opted for a back line with four natural central defenders due to their depth at the position and lack of depth at fullback.
