Who do you want taking set pieces for us in Brazil?

Zusi took the corners for us in all of the WCQ's that Donovan wasn't apart of so I assume he will continue to do that. For better or for worse, Dempsey will be our PK guy, but will he also be taking the mid & close range set pieces? Maybe Bradley or Zusi?

For all of the "discussion" over Donovan's omission, this is something that we really haven't talked about.

Obviously Brad Davis. He's a left footed dead ball specialist so precise that its worth playing ten vs eleven most of the time just so he's fresh and can float in about 6 magesterial kicks a game.

Free kicks on goal I would think Dempsey or Altidore. I'm not sure if Zusi is better than them, but I would believe someone who watches more MLS than I do. Corners Zusi and maybe Bealsey or Fab? PK I think I would prefer Dempsey over Altidore, not by any actual numbers infront of me, but by gut feeling.

I mentioned this a couple times how we are losing the guy that provides the best service and penalties. I really like Zusi on corners. Bradley and Zusi on free kicks. I guess Dempsey on penalties because he is the captain, but frick.

i would like dempsey and altidore over the ball for set pieces where we are gonna put it on frame. zusi or bradley if we are gonna put it in the box. whenever bradley is not involved, i want him waiting at the top of the box for the second ball. right at the top of the D.

i would prefer bradley take PKs even though i have no clue on his effectiveness. there is no way he is not good at them.

that PK Dempsey tried against Mexico during qualifying was just awful. total shite.

Not sure who is a better choice, but damn I'll be concerned when he steps up there.

Bradley is a fantastic FK taker but he's so good in the box that I would want him there instead. Same with Deuce, since he's probably the best header of the ball that we have. That said, if it's a direct shot on goal I want Altidore or Dempsey taking it. If it's a bit longer (corner, FK far outside the box, etc) I think the Zeus is probably our best bet.

Jozy's golazo against B-H was pretty spectacular. Would love to see something like that in Brazil.
