It'll be on tonight at 8 p.m EST on ESPN 2.

This is Bob Bradley's first 'official' match as Head Coach. Finally got that interim label off!

I see a 4-4-2 Formation for tonight's match.

This is my predict formation.

GK: Tim Howard
RB: Jonathan Spector
RCB: Oguchi Onyewu
LCB: Carlos Bocanegra
LB: Jonathan Bornstein
RM: Clint Dempsey
RCM: Michael Bradley
LCM: Benny Feilhaber
LM: DaMarcus Beasley
RF: Ante Razov
LF: Kamani Hill

Some of my news and notes

-Still not sold on Howard over Keller just because he is younger.
-Look for Spector on the rightside. He'l probably go for 65-70 mins.
-The Center Mids are an impressive young duo. Feilhaber is 22 and Bradley (the coaches son) is 19. This will probably be the future of USA's midfield after Mastroeni retires. So we should be set with a good duo for some 10-12 years after Pablo leaves.
-Look for Lee Ngueyn off the bench.

Predict USA winning 3-0....
 
Why not play twilliger up front. Heaven knows we could use more scoring.

Howard is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier league.

If you're referring to Twellman, he isn't on this roster against China. All the MLSers including Landon Donovan (not including Chivas USA as they have off this weekend) will not be playing in this USA game as they are allowing the MLS Teams one more game with their guys before a busy summer that consists of Gold Cup and Copa America.

Half of these guys are the experienced Euros. The other half of the team are young guns from Europe and a handful of Chivas USA guys where Bradley use to coach.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

That is debatable. He is good and is one of the better Goalkeepers in the EPL but I wouldn't rank him in the Top 3.

And Keller is still better then him.

I think Keller is better as well/ But, we'll see.

Where is Donovan?

As I said before, he and all the MLSers (except Chivas) are not being called up for this friendly because they all have games this weekend with their clubs. Since USA will be taking them for a month or even 2 for this summer's tourneys.
 
According to ESPN...USA is coming out with a 4-3-3...

I only got Kamani Hill wrong as Sacha Klejstan is going to be starting.
