My guess:

---------------Dwyer------------------
Rowe------Adams---McKennie------Bedoya
---------------Acosta-------------
Villfana---Brooks--Miazga----Yedlin
----------------Hamid---------------

Fairly close, but I doubt we'll start 3 DMs.

My guess is we'll use a 4-4-2. Williams and Adams or McKennie in the middle. 2 of Agudelo, Sapong and Dwyer up top.

I thought Adams and McKennie played box to box for their clubs?

They tend to be more defensive than attacking, although they do have skill with the ball.

Adams almost exclusively plays DM or RB/LB.

Cool I've honestly never seen either play a match. Just some highlights

All of those guys play a box to box role though (Adams is kind of an exception since Marsh was playing him as a wing back). He was a two way midfielder for the baby nats and even played the 10 role for the U20s after Zelalem got injured.

You would still need someone to be more of an offensive threat.

Who in our pool does that consistently from midfield beside Pulisic

You're essentially leaving the lone forward on an island, especially if Bedoya is one of the wings.

That’s why we probably play with two up top today.

That's my thought, which is why I went with a 442. We didn't really bring any AMs.
