DaMarcus Beasley ruled out for Aug. 17 World Cup Qualifier

No big surprise here, since he is still recovering from a hamstring strain. It will be interesting to see whom Arena starts in his place.

With Beasley gone, the only midfielders available that also played in last month's Gold Cup are Chris Armas (Chicago Fire) and Steve Ralston (New England Revolution). Donovan will also be available, but he has been moved to forward for Trinidad & Tobago.
