U.S.A. Soccer Formation

Lineup (3-5-2)

Overall, the top 4 can wreak havoc, plenty of room to maneuver, interchanging positions, coming in on diagonals or in waves. In essence, when attacking, you have 4 forwards.

The back 8 are perfectly situated for great passing angles (triangles). And, because the front 4 will be so potent offensively, KO and Krieger can (and must) favor defense, tracking back to help thwart wide attacks.
