the world's most competitive game. There's perhaps a confusion about conceding you are not as technically skilled as another team (I mean true powerhouses like Spain and Brazil, not mid-tier teams who we are now equal to skillwise), with conceding you are worse than another team. And really, if there WAS a with the attacking abilities of Donovan, Dempsey, Feilhaber etc and the defensive abilities of Edu, Bradley, Clark etc, he'd be out there playing, but there isn't and if there is, get me a video because I'd like to see what he can do. The thing is, the USA would probably play better with a two-way central midfielder right next to Bradley who had just as much ability on both sides of the ball as Bradley, and, based on video, Jermaine Jones seems to be that player, but he's not healthy. If the USA had two guys in the middle who could distribute and dribble the ball well out of the central midfield as well as cancel the service coming out of it, they'd be even better than they are now because not only would they be directly stunting the other teams possession and amount of chances by taking it right off their feet, they themselves help the USA keep possession, and therefore, less possession for the opposition. I think Jermain Jones has that ability, but anyways, I digress. Exactly. Basically, you get as many of your most dangerous attacking players on the field without risking shortage of defensive
