Thoughts on the USA vs Trinidad Lineup.


Finally the day is here, USA vs Trinidad. Big game for the USA, they need to win to help them finish in the top three so they won't have to play a play in match vs maybe Argentina. Here is the lineup;

----------------Davies--------Altidore-----------

Donovan--------------------------------Dempsey

-----------------Bradley-----Clark---------------

Bornstein----Bocanegra---Onyewu----Spector

-----------------------Howard--------------------



Big suprises here is Clark partnering Bradley Jr. and Bornstein at left back. Bornstein is the best option there, considering Demerit didnt travel forcing Boca to play into the middle. Hopefully Bornstein can have a good game against inferior oposition, but fans know he is not the answer at left back. Newly eligble Castillo has occupied the USA fans dreams since he was cleared to play for US. Clark partnering Bradley is also questionable. Benny Feilhaber has been playing great lately and it is tough to leave him out. Maybe he should have rested Mike and partnered Benny and Clark, but Mike has been one of our most consistant players over the past year despite suffering a slight dip in form at the moment. Expect to see Benny come on in the second half and maybe Dempsey move up top. Up top its great to see Davies shake off his injury and partner Altidore. All fans know this is the partnership for the future, and I for one am happy to not see Ching on the field. Look for pector and Bornstein to get forward a lot, and for Dempsey and Landon to have free roles cutting inside. Jozy and Davies will run behind the defense with Jozy sometimes acting as the target man. The midfield will be fairly defensive, however Bradley will look to get forward and into the box where he is very dangerous. Without further adu (pun intended) the match is about to start. Come on the USA!!!!
