I wanted to put Nagbe in a central role so he would have more ability to get u the field and create for himself or others. Also with Zardes and Arriola on the wing the US will have the speed to get the ball up the wing and find Nagbe or Altidore in the middle. I chose Zusi over Lichaj just for the experience factor and I also liked the idea of a super sub Dempsey last game. Put him in for Zardes at about 60' or so and move to a 4-4-2 with Dempsey and Altidore up top. Dempsey should be able to pick apart the Jamaican defense late easily especially with fresh legs.
