re: What is your preferred starting XI and formation against Cuba?

I wanna see Zardes up top with Bacon. Gyasi is better as a pure attacker, not a midfield shuttler. It also allows Dempsey to play in the hole as a no.10, he's our most creative and technical player, give him freedom to create and also make secondary runs into the box.

Eta: I've also noticed that where Bradley is lined up on a stat sheet is a moot point because even he has said that he will play his style game no matter where he's lined up. Even when he's tip of the diamond he's still dropping to start play from the back etc.. His alignment on paper doesn't rustle my jimmies like it used to.
