I tried to stick with the formation Klinsmann has used a couple of times recently. I loved Danny Williams playing his natural position in the last game against Jam. Having Bradley and Donovan tandem in the midfield with Shea on the left would be exciting to see. Although Shea has been struggling some recently, he still provides some width and can be dangerous with the ball (see both of the games against Mexico). Altidore and Dempsey up top is ideal because Jozy excels when he has someone else to play off of. Dempsey can make plays and space for Jozy. Howard and the back 4 are pretty much standard and givens at this point.
