This gets Donovan and Dempsey in their two best positions. Great combo at CB between Okugo and Gonzalez. Okugo already moves the ball from CB better than anyone in the pool. Play on the counter, Okugo playing long to wings, Bradley filling holes as the box-to-box, Williams as the D-mid (with a little passing range). I want Johnson instead of Altidore because of his height which can be utilized on the counter and because of Altidore's general mediocrity with the USMNT.
