USA played Donavon as a forward, not an attacking mid in the 2nd half. 1st half had him at center, but the more offensive of the two. Broadcasters stated this. Bradley has shown two formations that I like. He has played the 4-2-2-2 in which two d mids are advanced by two attacking mids that dive in or out depending on the runs made by the forwards.
The 4-4-2 he played today was nice and resembled the (gasp) 4-5-1 played by Arena. Ching was the point man while Landon was the out and out striker. Ching is a nice replacement/carbon copy for McBride. He'd make a great center forward for a 4-3-3, but I don't think LD would do well as a winger or the attacking mid in that situation. Bradley is attacking and I think this makes all of us smile!
Anybody worried about Bocanegro or any of the guys at Left Back? Cherundulo, who was rumored to retire following the german league knee injury, is solid on the right. Convey and Gooch will do well provided they gel.
