The current right midfield is highlighted by Clint Dempsey, but there seems to be a drop off after him. As a result, these right wingers could have a chance to be a part of the next cycle and the top two have an outside shot at making the World Cup roster next year. Here are the top five prospects at the right midfield position:

1. Chris Pontius, 22, DC United

He is emerged as the top prospect after a blistering rookie campaign, where he has scored four goals and provided two assists. He has good speed and can stretch the field, but he needs to work on his crossing and ball distribution.

2. Brad Evans, 24, Seattle Sounders FC

He had a breakout year in 2008, where he helped the Crew win both the Supporters Shield and the MLS Cup. But he was deemed surplus and shipped to the Sounders in the expansion draft, where has become an everyday player. He was rewarded with his play with a call-up to the Gold Cup squad.

3. Gerson Mayen, 20, Chivas USA

He is a product of the Chivas USA youth system and has now been given a professional contract. He possess speed, quickness, and good technical ability. He began the season as a starter, but has since been coming on as a reserve. He will play in the upcoming U-20 World Cup.

4. Danny Cruz, 19, Houston Dynamo

He is in his first season in MLS after signing a Generation Adidas contract. He played for two seasons at UNLV prior to being drafted by the Dynamo. He is expected to be named to the U-20 World Cup squad.

5. Nick Zimmerman, 22, New York Redbulls

He has good size and decent speed. He is developing quickly and has become a regular for the Red Bulls, where he plays more pinched in than a traditional winger.
