U.S.A. Soccer Formation
Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Howard · Onyewu · Clark · Bocanegra · Cherundolo · Bradley · Jones · Donovan · Dempsey · Holden · BuddlePossible USMNT starting eleven as of 01/27/11; Bradley has been using the 4-2-3-1 since the World Cup. Centerback is the weakest position- Clark has been playing there in Germany lately so it might be worth giving him a look, Onyewu recently went down with yet another injury (back) for FC Twente. Jones otoh recently returned and played well as a sweeping midfielder. Most would have Holden in the center, where he plays for Bolton, but Bradley has usually played him on the right for the MNT to great effect, where his good crossing can be utilized. Dempsey also plays better closer to goal. Holden (and Donovan) would both be expected to drift inside anyway, allowing the fullbacks to push forward.
