re: USMNT - On to the Hex - Pick your starting 11

I'd like to see how this 4-1-3-2 would look. Not an expert here, but I do play a shite load of FIFA13.

--------------- Jozy ---------------------
------------------- Herc -----------------

Dempsey ----------------------- Zusi/Lando
------------------ Bradley -----------------

---------------- Williams/Jones ------------
FJ --- 2 of Boca/Cam/Omar/Good --- Dolo

Williams/Jones sitting in front of the back four. Let Bradley do his thing box to box. Deuce and Zusi cutting in with Johnson and Dolo overlapping.

I think Jozy has to be in there when it gets to nut cutting time. I've watched him quite a lot the past year and what I've seen is a close to world-class striker. Granted, he hasn't played that well recently for the USMNT, but many of those appearances have been 15-20 minute subs against these shite island countries when, honestly, the entire team hasn't played well. The question does he contribute enough to the team when he's not getting good service. So get him good service, he has goals in him. I really think Jozy/Herc could be a sick combo up front if they had some time to develop a partnership.

Lando would be a hell of a super sub for Zusi when we need a goal. He could be a terror coming out of that midfield three running at tired defenses. As would GAM up top for Jozy or Herc.

K, that's it. tl;dr

---------------Altidore---------Dempsey---------
----F.Johnson-------------------------Donovan-----
----------------Bradley---------Williams-----------
---Lichaj------Boca--------Cameron-------Dolo----
Timmy

EJ, Gomez, Zusi, Kljestan, Jones, Parkhurst, little big Brad

Notes: Bringing back the empty bucket, motherfrickers!!

Dempsey would have a free role and hopefully float deep or out wide.

Could also morph into a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 depending on possession.

a few other players that would be in the 23 man squad and possibly playing: Gatt, Mix, Boyd, Gonzalez, Pearce, Rimando

thing we have been lacking

I'm not giving up on Timmy Chandler. We have time fo him.

Good with all of that except why Goodson over Cameron? Cameron is our best CB. GAM for altidore too

Except that A&B goal, right?

Chandler would be a huge coup for the USMNT, I don't care if he's waiting on a call from Der Mannshcaft, when he's ready to play for the US we welcome him with open arms.

--------Dempsey-----Altidore----------
E Johnson----Bradley---Donovan-
-------------Williams--------------
F Johnson--Boca--Cameron--Dolo
--------------Howard--------------

First options off bench:
Zusi
Boyd
Gomez
Shea

And if Chandler comes back, I would be happy to welcome him back, Churundolo isnt getting any younger. If Gonzales is healthy and in form our back line could look like this once Boca and Dolo retire..

Johnson-Gonzales-Cameron-Chandler

On a related topic, I'd like to see our Gold Cup team be comprised of a fair number of the "talented but might not have worked out just right" crowd.

Aguedelo, Adu etc.

At least it'd be fun to watch
