U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann inserted five new starters into his lineup for Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier against Guatemala following a 2-0 loss last week at the Central Americans. Facing a near must-win game, Klinsmann also shifted Geoff Cameron to central defense from right back and moved DeAndre Yedlin to right back from midfield, putting the pair at positions they play more regularly with their clubs in England. Defender Steve Birnbaum, midfielders Kyle Beckerman and Graham Zusi, and forward Gyasi Zardes were inserted into the lineup along with goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who had been scheduled to rotate with Tim Howard.
