Lineup vs 'Tina

Here is the starting lineup for the Nats tonight against 'Tina:

-----------------Howard---------------

Cherundolo, Califf, Onyewu, Pearce
Dempsey, Bradley, Mastroeni, Beasley
-----Johnson------Donovan (c)---------

I am a little surprised Pablo is playing again. He has been a valuable servant for the MNT over the years, but there has to be better options in the middle of the park. I am interested to see if Danny can play with the speed necessary at the international level. I doubt it, but I would be thrilled if proven wrong. I was also hoping to see Kenny Cooper up top (full disclosure: I grew up watching the Baltimore Blast coached by the legendary Kenny Cooper Sr., and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the kid). At some point, we are going to need to find a replacement for McBride, and Cooper is a better option than Ching.
