U.S.-Honduras Starting Lineups
Welcome to Honduras North aka Home Depot Center, Carson.
A predominantly blue and white clad crowd here tonight at the Home Depot Center.
The U.S. was roundly booed when they ran out to warm-up at about 5:25 p.m.
I'm told about 150 members of the LA Riot Squad are here tonight, which may be the largest single group of Americans in attendance.
Here's the U.S. starting XI (4-4-2): Troy Perkins, Marvell Wynne, Jonathan Bornstein, Chad Marshall, Jimmy Conrad (capt.) Benny Feilhaber, Kyle Beckerman, Sacha Kljestan, Robbie Rogers, Robbie Findley, Jeff Cunningham.
Bench options: Nick Rimando, Heath Pearce, Clarence Goodson, Brad Davis, Conor Casey, Dax McCarty, Alejandro Bedoya
No room for Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez, unfortunately.
The U.S. will wear all white tonight.
Former Galaxy striker Carlos Pavon is up front for Honduras, who will play a 3-4-3; former Chivas USA midfielder Amada Guevara is in midfield.
The game is on Fox Soccer Channel.
And there's a special announcement coming up in 20 minutes or so, stay tuned.
