USMNT Soccer - Coaching


This is the first of many posts by me so here goes:

I know some of you are on both sides with this. Some of you are on the "Bob Bradley is simply thinking ahead" side. Some of you are on the "Bradley isn't putting the right people in the line up" side. Now i will say that when i saw the lineup of friendlies coming up I at first thought Bradley was a bit over the top. However, when i saw how the score sheets went in that "Triad by Fire" as some call it, I realized that Bradley was on the right track. Think, the scores went in this order: VS. England 2-0, VS. Spain 1-0, VS. Argentina 0-0.0-0.....that was not only the score in that final friendly before World Cup qualifying for the USA but also the look on my face when i saw not just the effort USA put forth, but the plan Bradley had put together. Of course he knew that Barbados wasn't a HUGE threat, but he also realized that the USA had needed to realize themselves that this is how it was going to be if they ever did make it to a WC final. So for those of you on the "FIRE BB" side, i say that you need to look ahead as Bob Bradley does.
