The US looked like they were playing with three defenders (3-5-2) for much of the game. At the end of the game, it looked like a 1-7-2 formation. How often will they be in that formation during the World Cup? I can't see having a 3 man defense against Italy or the Czech Republic. So why practice it now? In a normal game against Morocco, it probably makes sense. But I thought the point of these games was to practice what you will use next month. Or am I missing something here?
