I rate Edu higher as a holding mid than J Jones.
JJ played much better in the recent friendlies compared to Edu. And I think it was their "try outs" for that 1 spot.

Buddle is the only guy we have at this point that can really play alone up top. I just hope that Wondo isn't left alone on an island again if he gets another shot.
In a USMNT jersey, based on what?
Thank you. That was my entire point. Without Edson we better not attempt to play the 4-2-3-1 against Mexico because we will get thrashed.
My eyes. Buddle is shit.
I think a 3-2wb-2-1-2 best fits our personnel, myself.
---------------Timmay!-------
-----Goodson - Gooch - Boca-------
Dolo -------------------------Pearce/Bornstein
------- Edu/Jones ---- Bradley -------
--------------- Donovan (free role, ie can drift anywhere)-
--------- Altidore ------- Dempsey ---
But nobody wants to try to play a flat 3 anymore except for my BOI at Napoli. (That I know of.)
Full disclosure, I love the flat back 3 with wing backs, so I'm definitely biased.
Meh I tend not to trust Euro footie snobs when it comes to judging our national team. No offense but I feel like people who support large European teams, who essentially buy championships, have a hard understanding what works for the Yanks.
Haha I attempted to post this as a suggested formation for us during the last round of friendlies but accidentally gave us 12 players b/c I wrote it after an all night bender at like 7 am. Therefore my previous post about your lack of USMNT knowledge has been officially rescinded.
The 3-5-2 would be straight awesome for our team. Although I might place Ream in the middle (and move Gooch to RCB) so that he Ream could play some quality balls through the midfield.
Buddle sucks. End of story.
OK so who's better Ching or Buddle?
Yes. My judgment of how our USMNT will perform has been so off. Predicted struggling to make it out of the group and probably ending at the R16 and out at the QF at best last WC. Said we never do well at WCs in Europe so don't expect much in '06. I did get the Confed Cup wrong. Which I was happy to end up doing.
