This formation goes back to the "diamond midfield" formation we had during the World Cup 2014. It also has 7 solid defensive players on the field to stop the attack of Messi and company. The key to this formation is Zusi recognizing if he needs to play a more defensive posture or if he can push ahead into the attack. Also, possession by Dempsey to hold the ball until Yedlin can use his speed to start the counter attack.
