With a Group Stage during a back of them, a U.S. men's national team can now focus upon trying to make a mental condition run to a World Cup last a year after making a mental condition run to a Confederations Cup Final.

Standing in a way during a first knockout turn hurdle is Ghana, which happens to be a same team which eliminated a United States in a 2006 World Cup. This time around, both a USA andGhana are better teams, but we won't know until Saturday either a Americans have indeed closed a opening upon a 'Black Stars'.

Ghana comes in having accomplished second in Group D to Germany, with a stingy invulnerability as well as an offense which hasmanaged only dual goals from a chastisement spot.

You will be able to find my preview upon a match, as well as a underline upon Jozy Altidore, later currently upon FoxSoccer.com. For now, here areFive Keys to USA-Ghana.

One key to a match will be what lineup Bob Bradley decides to run out opposite Ghana. Here is a lineup we could see a Americans using upon Saturday in Rustenberg:

USA Projected Lineup vs. Ghana

--------------Altidore--------------Dempsey----------------

Feilhaber-------Bradley---------Edu-------------Donovan

Bocanegra------Onyewu------DeMerit--------Cherundolo

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

Why this lineup? The Americans don't wish to remove a receive conflict as well as this could be a most appropriate lineup to keep which from happening. Dempsey can slip between second striker as well as aggressive midfielder, giving a Americans a third male in a middle during times. Moving Dempsey up allows Bradley to begin Feilhaber, who has been plain in his dual new surrogate appearances.

Now, if Bradley decides he's got sufficient convi! ction in Michael Bradley as well as Maurice Edu or Ricardo Clark to hoop themselves opposite Ghana's three-man executive midfield, as well as he wants to begin out aggressive as a USA has a past dual matches, we could see this lineup:

---------------Altidore--------------Findley----------------

Dempsey--------Bradley---------Edu-------------Donovan

Bocanegra------Onyewu------DeMerit--------Cherundolo

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

This might essentially be a some-more expected lineup, with Findley working tough to vigour a Ghana back-line with his speed, while also dropping back to await a midfielders when he can.

These lineups are obviously fortuitous upon Oguchi Onyewu being healthy as well as ready to play. Onyewu is said to be during around 90 to 95 percent so he should start, definition Jonathan Bornstein goes back to a bench after an admirable opening opposite Algeria.

What lineup would we similar to to see opposite Ghana? Do we similar to a USA's chances of exacting revenge for 2006?
