It's time to let the midfield three of Bradley, Bedoya and Nagbe flourish. Bradley can sit deeper and dictate rhythm, playing those long diagonals that he's so adept at spraying around, Nagbe is the shuttler and Bedoya has a more standard CM role and can make late runs. Pulisic should get a longer look on the left where he combined wonderfully with FabJo and Nagbe in the final 25 minutes of the Ecuador match. Zusi provides a veteran presence on the right and works well in a possession based unit and can whip in crosses. The back four is pretty self explanatory at this point.
