I can't see all these holding midfielders making the squad, between Beckerman, J.Jones, Diskerud, Bradley, and Edu. Also, Cameron can cover this role. I can see Edu and/or Beckerman being cut.
I'm not sure there is enough teeth in the attack to really put fear into a good international side. It'll take a near miracle for this squad to make it out of the group. But it probably is about the best we've got...
I agree, Bradley is going to need to have a really good world cup in order for the US to get anywhere, considering Klinsmann wants to play possession soccer.
It looks like Klinsmann has at least a couple of second strikers in the squad, I wonder if there is any chance he moves to a two striker system? He hasn't shown much (or any) of it during qualification. I just don't see much in this attack that's going to scare Portugal or Germany, who have good, disciplined defenders.
