With a young strike team up front in Altidore and Agudelo, they are fast, and even better with wing assistance from experienced and good players Donovan and Dempsey. With a strong midfield in experience that comes with Michael Bradley but an X-factor with Brek Shea, ball will be easily advanced but also defended well. The back line is similar to what we have now. Opting not to include young Goodson but rather with an experienced player Spector, who will assist Bocanegra better because of his good communication. Replacing Tim Howard with Friedel would be ideal, considering the "human wall's" impact at the 2002 World Cup and his amazing saves at Totthenham. Despite being retired from International football, he would be the ideal candidate for the last line of US Defense.
