I'm not wild about pulling Cameron out of the center of the defense here, but I think that the team operates better when Cherundelo is on that flank to serve as a pressure valve in possession, and I'm hoping Cameron's experience will help him do a better job of that than Beltran would. The hope further forward is that Kljestan and Zusi in the same side to provide service will allow Dempsey to focus on scoring goals rather than dropping deep to link midfield and attack.
