Jozy and Herculez up top. Neither has done well with the US playing up top alone. Hopefully they can play off each other's strengths. Herculez can stretch the defense with his work ethic and Jozy can help with possession. We need Jozy to score like he's been doing for AZ. The midfield is our strength. Bradley is the captain of our whole attack. Hopefully he can get creative with the forwards and Dempsey playing some quick 1-2 balls. Dempsey is always a threat to score. Zusi has good crossing balls but he needs to work on quick touches. Zusi is becoming a regular starter while Jones will eventually be replaced by someone like Sacha, Shea, Gatt, or Danny Williams (Look for Sacha to come on early if Jones isn't producing). The back line is becoming more and more solid. By the time of the World Cup, I think we'll have a good core of players that will be around for awhile. Cameron and Bocanegra will be the anchors for WC qualifying. Johnson and Chandler will become consistent wings. USA never lacks in the goal keeper department but Timmy is still the man.
