Love the line up. Finally we get to see the team play without jozy and Bradley, the only change i would of made is Nagbe for pontius. But interesting lineup nonetheless.

Now that I have my beer in hand I just sat down to post the same comment. We don't often agree so cheers!
Pontius isn't an international caliber player in my opinion. I mean sure he can fill in and do an acceptable job against some opponents but I think we have better options at this point. I would have rather given Nagbe get another run out ahead of Honduras.

Since we're not taking this game all that seriously I hope that Beasley comes in as a sub. Maybe at LM to give Villafana the full game at LB.

For the second year in a row Bill Hamid is the biggest loser of the January camp. Tonight should have been his night.

I like finding out if Pontius is good for this level or not. I suspect not, but I like finding out, and hats off to him if he proves us wrong.
As for LM minutes, it'd be far more important to give those minutes to Nagbe.
Hamid has a good reputation, as far as I know, so I don't see him fading away. He'll recover and get more looks.

Predictions? I'm going 3-0.
Morris with a brace and Feilhaber.

Porter said that he's going to play Nagbe at LM for the Timbers this season but for the MNT I think I'd rather have Pulisic playing LM and Nagbe at RM.
