Guessing the 11

If you are trying to figure out who Bob Bradley will start against El Salvador on Tuesday, consider this:

Carlos Bocanegra and Frankie Hejduk each have a yellow card. If either player gets a yellow against El Salvador, they'll have to sit out the quarterfinal match.

If it's game three of the World Cup or Copa America group stage and you need a result, you risk that. If it's game three of the Gold Cup and you have already secured a quarterfinal berth, I'm not sure you have the same attitude.
