Jurgen Klinsmann has again opted for continuity in his starting lineup to face Panama in the Gold Cup final, keeping Clarence Goodson in at central defense ahead of Omar Gonzalez. Stuart Holden, who put in a good performance in the semifinal, starts once again in midfield alongside Kyle Beckerman. Alejandro Bedoya and Joe Corona both get starts, with Jose Torres going to the bench. Unsurprisingly, Landon Donovan and Eddie Johnson are partners up top for the United States.
