I think Klinsmann starts with the midfield 3 of Jones, Bradley, and Williams as that appears to be what he is most comfortable with. It's too defensive for me, but I think Juergen wants to play conservative with the first game in the Hex and the fact that it's in a hostile environment. I think that's also the reason that he goes with Boca over Cameron. I would prefer Cameron in this game, but I think Klinsmann wants that experience in the backline in an hostile environment. Chandler gets capped. Usually suspects at goal and on the left. And I think he goes with Zusi on the right. To me that's the biggest question mark in who do you play there. I think we've seen enough from Zusi to have him be the primary distributor in the final third. Go USA!
