Michael Bradley Sucks Forum

AND, he couldn't even connect on a signle pass!  How many times did he give the ball up???

I wish my daddy was the coach.

For the whole Gold Cup tourney, Michael Bradley was drifting into the back line as a 5th defender.  Did you notice that there was no midfield support during the Mexico game (also due to the fact that Jones shouldn't be playing and Edu should have been in).  Bradley gives his mark too much space - I'd say that he actually hindered his man less than 25% of the time.  Many of the goals were because he was too soft on defense or because he didn't track back.  But, maybe there's no one better.  Who else can we put Edu with?

Bob bradley is an amazing coach with a very good record who has brought the team very far.  I tink he should have his contract renewed and the players on the US national team have commented that also to reporters (that they want Bradley to remain coach).  And i disagree about the son of the coach not being allowed on that team.  Michael Bradley is an amazing soccer player who is wise and mature beyond his years and he did very well in his first world cup.  with the netherlands he scored 21 goals, and has done very well in Monchengladbach as well.  He has become a staple on the US national team and will only improve and become more instrumental (afterall he is still only 22 and has so much more to offer).  He has amazing determination that is boarder line obsession for the game and is deserving of his spot on the team (just as his father is deserving of his place as coach).  Theres no neopotism when it comes to Michael Bradley, just look at his record and watch his games to see that.

Be honest here. Do you think that Michael Bradley should have started every game? We have Feilhaber, Adu, and Holden to choose from in this spot (and so many others).  Holden didn’t get any time and Adu almost none.  Bob Bradley’s son ..played every minute.  Benny Feilhaber when subbed in, played so dam well.  Somebody try to explain to me how Felhaber didn’t earn a starting spot…(forget Bradley)…

I am sorry to see such an unjustice to other players who where denied an opportunity to show what they can do for their country. Michael Bradley was during most of the games an spectator inside the field, getting the ball while walking or jogging, and making mistake after mistake tryng to pass the ball. It is also sad that Coach Brandley allowed his Son to play every minute of every game, which shows his personal feelings get in the way of unifying the team and create more effective team work.I am sure the rest of the players in the team are aware of Michael's shortcomings as a player but are reluctant or afraid to raise a complaint. Michael Bradley made very little effort to engage opponents and cover his area of responsability in the midfield . I hope in the future we have more knowledgeable people directing the efforts of the USA team.                                                                      

This is the first time that I have watched the world cup. I know nothing about soccer nor team USA. There has been a lot of media coverage on the US team so I decided to watch the US vs. Ghana match. During the first half of the game my eye kept drifting to #4 on the US team and I was thinking to myself that this guy seems to be walking a lot. As time went on I kept watching him and really started to think that maybe he had the flu or something and was trying to take it easy. Finally toward the end of the game I really thought that this #4 player looked terrible. He pretty much walked the entire game, made terrible passes, and overall did not look like someone that should be on the US team yet alone playing.  I just did a google search to find out who #4 is on the US team and found out its Michael Bradley who apparently is the COACHE’S SON!!!   That is great. When I used to play sports competitively we used to joke about players being the coach’s son. They were the ones that were terrible but for some reason got lots of playing time.   This explains everything now. Way to go team US.
