Bocanegra has been a contributor to the National Team for some time now. He will be 27 during the tournament, so he should be right in his prime for this World Cup. Like McBride, he plays for Fulham, so he plays against a lot of the other great players in the World. He has scored 6 goals in his international career, so he is capable of providing some offense from the defensive position. He also has the versatility to play both center and left back. He will likely be the starter in one of those 2 positions.
