Veering away from the typical 4-2-3-1. The tale of two halves against Guatemala showed an attacking 4-4-2 is the way to go against the weaker teams. No need for Beckerman-types. Let Holden and Mix run the midfield the way they did the other night. Put Donovan up top, he was much more threatening there than wandering around out wide. The Liga MX midfielders continually fail to impress so give me Shea and Bedoya on the wings. Goodson/Onyewu pairing is a recipe for disaster against better teams but they'll have to do for now.
