Formation that could be used to play in Genoa.
Dempsey in the CAM role, Donovan out in the wing along with Johnson, Jones and Bradley as the D-mids, Chandler and Cherundolo can play along the flanks while Bocanegra and Onyewu stay back. Howard as the number 1 goalie.

You'd need one more D-mid, probably at the expense of Johnson. Italy is not to be taken lightly.
