My disappointment with the 3-5-2 wasn't that Klinsmann tried it, it was that he abandoned it 45 minutes in - and while holding a lead. Give Serna a look on the left - it's obvious that Shea isn't the answer - and let Yedlin wreak havoc on the right. Play Hedges at center-back instead of Jermaine Jones - that experiment is probably over for now. Flank Hedges with Besler and the surprise of the Chile game - Steve Birnbaum. Mix and Bradley hold, while Nguyen is given a full run-out, and the keys to the U.S. offense. Jozy and Deuce up top doing what they do best - ball out.
