Williams deserves another look at his natural DM position. Jones to me is too important to this team to leave off, and he didn't look too bad on the right. That will leave some width issues on that side, but Cherundolo has done a great job getting forward and delivering crosses for the US.
This is also more of a hybrid 4-2-3-1/4-1-3-2, as Jones could always drop back a bit to DM as well as Dempsey coming forward more from the midfield.
