JOHNSON----GONZALEZ----BESLER------BEASLEY
BEDOYA/ZUSI--BRADLEY--BECKERMANN--JONES
---------------------DEMPSEY-----------------------
---------------------ALTIDORE-----------------------


1) Pull back Bradley to sit as holding midfielder. He can help put a damper on the Belgian attack. When free, he can serve long balls well (when jammed, he's useless and invites counters).

2) Channel our attack through the flanks (because Belgium has no real fullbacks)

3) Dempsey in the hole to take advantage his good dribbling/creative ability

4) Jozy as a pure center forward to save his legs
