Step 1. Keep Jones off the pitch - form with his club team hasn't translated to value with the national team.
Step 2. EJ and Zusi should provide some width and Gomez's work rate can create space (the best defense is a good offense???)
Step 3. Bradley plays in the middle backed up by Edu in a modified holding midfielder role allowing Dempsey to wander in space.
Step 4. Hope Guzan doesn't have to touch the ball the entire match.
Step 5. Pray the back line can support the offense and not have to play cohesive defense.
