World Cup Qualifying Kicks Off: U.S. vs. Antigua and Barbuda June 8, 2012, 7:02 pm The United States plays it first qualifier of the 2014 World Cup cycle on Friday night in Tampa, Fla., where it's raining so hard that the substitutes will wait not on the bench but outside in the parking lot in an ark - just in case. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann will send his team out in a 4-3-3 with one new wrinkle: Jose Torres will start at left back - a problem position for the Americans in recent years - instead of his customary place in midfield. The complete U.S. lineup: Howard; Cherundolo, Goodson, Bocanegra (c), Torres; Edu, Bradley, Jones; Donovan, Dempsey, Gomez. This should be an attacking lineup, and why not? Antigua and Barbuda is essentially a third-division pro team, from a country whose entire population, as James Montague noted in today's editions of The Times, could almost fit in the 75,000-seat Raymond James Stadium. It's as if, one observer noted this week, a national team picked from the best available players from the United States was matched up against a team of the best available players in Flint, Mich. Kickoff has been pushed back to 7:27 p.m. as divers search for Donovan, who slipped under the waves warming up. The game is on ESPN if you want to watch. The first strike comes off a corner: Herculez Gomez snaps a header that's saved, but Carlos Bocanegra is first to the ball as the back post and slams it in from 1 yard. Corner kick: What do you think of the lineup changes? Will any of them matter?
