It's honestly more of a 4-1-1-2-2 or a 4-2-2-2 than a 4-1-3-2 with Jones playing behind Mix and Bedoya, but also still ahead of Beckerman. Provides you with options on the bench too with ArJo, EJ, and Zusi all available to come on to change the game. Dempsey will be able to play a bit more of his game than he did against Costa Rica with Mix, Bedoya, and Jones playing a better possession based midfield than we saw, and Beckerman with a strictly holding role. Donovan is up there to roam free and stretch the defense, giving them all more time and space than we ever had agains CR. Defensively there aren't many options with suspensions, not in camps, and Beasley's awful performance last game. Biggest worry is how much wide play we can get, but Bedoya on the right can provide it and Fabian coming forward on the left will be huge for us.
