 U.S. Roster for Tomorrow?

Let me preface this by saying I have no knowledge of the team for tomorrow's 2010 qualifier against Guatemala at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN Classic and Galavision. Here are the things we know: 2 players must be dropped from the current 20-man roster for the final roster. Shirt numbers for qualifiers must be from 1-18 only. So, with that info, Hillrest makes the following predictions about tomorrow's match:

Matt Pickens (GK) and Conor Casey are dropped from the roster. Not sure why on Casey, just a feeling. That leaves the following players to make the roster, in my PREDICTED jersey numbers. We'll check this out Thursday to see how I've done.

1 GK Troy Perkins 
2 D Sean Franklin 
3 D Jonathan Bornstein
4 D Clarence Goodson
5 M Pablo Mastroeni
6 D Cory Gibbs
7 M Sacha Kljestan
8 D Drew Moor
9 F Kenny Cooper
10 F Brian Ching
11 M Freddy Adu
12 F Jozy Altidore
13 M Ricardo Clark
14 F Davy Arnaud
15 D Michael Parkhurst
16 M John Thorrington
17 F Chris Rolfe
18 GK Brad Guzan

Let's go with the following lineup (4-4-2): Guzan; Franklin, Parkhurst, Gibbs, Bornstein; Kljestan, Clark, Mastroeni, Adu; Ching, Altidore 

and subs:
Cooper for Ching
Arnaud for Mastroeni (Kljestan to the center)
Moor for Franklin

Offer your thoughts on the 18-man roster, numbers and lineup below.
