 Soccer Goals: For those of you waiting for the USMNT to face the talented Oranje, the final friendly before Coach Bradley selects his South African roster, the gameday has arrived.

 

With the Oranje boasting the advantage in talent and home field advantage, the USMNT will utilize this game as an audition for the fringe players who will impress and make the squad. The US will have their hands filled on Wednesday night as the Oranje will feature stars such as Robben, Sneijder, Kuyt, De Jong, and Babel. If the US can provide a strong performance against the stacked Dutch side, several positives can be taken from this game.

Here is a proposed lineup that I believe Coach Bradley will field against the Oranje. 

----Altidore-----Johnson

Donovan-Edu-Bradley-Holden

Bornstein-Bocanegra-DeMerit-Spector

----------Howard--------

 

If Bradley feels like the 4-5-1 would benefit the USMNT more in the first half, this is a starting Xl that we might see.

 

----------Altidore-------

Donovan----Torres----Holden

--------Edu-------Bradley---

Bornstein-Bocanegra-DeMerit-Spector

----------Howard--------

 

If they fall behind in the 4-5-1 formation, it is possible that Coach Bradley will convert to a 4-4-2 with either Findley or Johnson receiving time as second striker.

 

What formation do you think the USMNT will field? Who will impress in this game? Will the USMNT finally score a goal against  the Netherlands on Dutch soil? Share your thoughts.
