Bob Bradley, unhappy with his team's performance against Panama over the weekend, has opted to make some changes to his United States team. Fans might not be happy about a few things, namely the lack of a significant tactical change and the lack of Alejandro Bedoya or Sacha Kljestan - the last game's two effective substitutes - in the team, but change is change. After the last game, changes needed to be made, and we'll have to wait and see whether or not Bradley's changes were drastic enough for tonight's Gold Cup match against Guadeloupe. Here are the lineups.
USA Vs. Guadeloupe, Gold Cup 2011: Lineups
USA lineup: Howard; Lichaj, Bocanegra, Goodson, Cherundolo; Donovan, Bradley, Jones, Dempsey; Altidore, Wondolowski
Guadeloupe lineup: Grandel; Zubar, Tacalfred, Viator, Ictoi, Loval-Landre, Gamiette, Auvray, Racon, Socrier, Nabab
The United States should stay in a 4-4-2 formation, their preferred formation from the previous two games. Eric Lichaj will play left back, Carlos Bocanegra will move back inside, and new face Chris Wondolowski will play up top. Wondolowski had a bad miss against Panama, but he looked good otherwise and perhaps more importantly, his finishing has been lethal over the last 18 months for the San Jose Earthquakes.
