If there is one thing that United States fans have learned during the Jurgen Klinsmann era, it's that the manager is not afraid of making changes. This includes shifts in tactics and personnel, as Klinsmann has been bold in making decisions that contradict conventional wisdom. These decisions include his abandonment of the 4-2-3-1 formation used throughout World Cup qualifying (in favor of a 4-4-2) just a month before the tournament began and his change from Kyle Beckerman to Geoff Cameron in central midfield ahead of the team's World Cup knockout-stage game against Belgium.
