I'd say it was experimental but by necessity rather than design. With so many players out and with the stakes so high, it's hard to see what else he could've done. The only thing that may have backfired was his decision to drop a fully fit Bocanegra, but even that's just a massive great 'what if?'.
Realistically, I put the USA at about the same level as this current England side. In the right group and all things going to plan (including actually qualifying) I'd say both countries will have done well to get as far as the quarter finals.
