Potential US lineup

I was going to write about a possible lineup for the US but then I read Paul Oberjuerge's blog and, well, he pretty much stole my thunder. I agree with him on all points, particularly starting Jose Francisco Torres in Sacha Kljestan's spot. Sacha has been a huge disappointment during the Hexagonal, and I would be shocked if he started in place of Torres.

Paul also suggests one other change that I probably wouldn't have considered - Jozy Altidore for Brian Ching - but I'm coming around to that. I guess I think that Altidore on the field is better than Altidore not on the field. And the only way that might happen is to bench Ching. A means to an end, I suppose.

why not play Altidore and Ching? Just sit Beasley and move Dempsey to the left. If the offense sputters you can bring Beasley in for whoever is at left back

i forgot to add that Ching and Jozy both track back well (especially Ching) so it isn't like you're losing much in the midfield if

As a Chivas USA fan, it hurts to see Sacha struggle, but Torres is much better right now.

Bob Bradley is a nice guy and the coach who drafted Sacha in 2006. Due to this, Sacha starts and will continue to start until further notice.
