I think the 4-4-2 Diamond is here to stay, at least for this tournament. The back line is going to be extremely interesting. The arrival of run DMB allows Johnson to move up to LW. Ream slots in for the suspended Brooks at LCB. Alvarado gets the nod at RCB after rebounding in the second half vs Panama. To the surprise of just about everyone, JK starts Chandler at RB yet again in lieu of the more defensive Brad Evans, saving Yedlin as a second half sub for Bedoya who is not yet 100%. Beckerman will once again shield the back line, giving Bradley the freedom to pick out his wingers and forwards.
