Sinha has been moved to the bench, allowing many fans to see exactly who they wanted to see in the first place: Youngsters Giovani Dos Santos and Carlos Vela (Edit: Guardado in for Vela). Gio should play as an attacking midfielder behind Javier Hernandez, while Vela Guardado looks to start the match out on the left hand side. 

The key man for Venezuela is likely to be Tomas Rincon, their talented central midfielder. Nicolas Fedor could also be a danger up top, and he will partner with MLS journeyman Alejandro Moreno. Here are your lineups.
