Mike Bradley Wed 1/23 20:00 CET SC Heerenveen - VVV-Venlo

Nice of the goalie to just pop the ball up in the air there for 'Veen

'Veen is going to have the third best GD when this is said and done which bodes well for them in the final standings.

 

Notice Bradley in the box again on this goal. He doesn't score great goals, but he's always is a good position.

EDIT: Looks like JH6 beat me to it

 

What was even better than his assist was his continued run into the area that took his defender with him and opened up the space for Sulejmani to get his shot off.

 

Can't wait to see him, Adu, and Jozy together... oh wait.

But seriously, I hope those three are in the line up for Mexico. That's a trio (not to mention several others) that could carry the nats for years.

Back to YA though, wow he's good.

 

for the people who watch him every week, how is his passing comin along?

 

Let's put it this way... he and Pranjic comprise the Heerenveen engine room.

 

so is BB becoming our Frank Lampard?

 

Hey JD -

Thanks for fighting through the pain to post the hilights. That's very kind (and macho) of you.

 

Michael's goal from another angle:

 

5-hole baby! Nice goal.

what is the YA record for most goals scored in a season, in a first division?

 

Attended this game myself.
His passing is getting better all the time. He is playing much more offensive in all aspects as he used to do when he came to H'veen. And the thing is: he seems to be just there in the right position everytime. That's quality. For those he saw the game, MOTM was definitelity Sulejmani, his nickname ? Mickey. Heard that before ;-)

Would hate to see him leave halfway the season.
However, he will definitely be playing a bigger league next year.

 

Wow.

 

I've heard of hot streaks...but this is ridiculous.

Of the all-time season for YA...

Claudio Reyna - Rangers - 1999 (Scottish Treble, qualified to champion's League by beating Parma, finished 3rd in a group with Bayern, Valencia, and PSV. Lost to Borussia Dortmund on PKs in 3rd round of UEFA Cup)

DaMarcus Beasley - 03/04 (Platoon player as an attacking mid, 2nd in goal scoared in all competitions, Dutch double, lost in the Champion's League semi-finals to AC Milan)

Mike Bradley 2007/2008 In Process - Herenveen - what is it, 9 or 10 goals now? And how many assists? Can make a claim of being the best player on the club at 21 and playing on of the toughest positions in the sport. Is pushing his team into UEFA cup competition)

Bobby Convey - 2005/2006 - I think around 7 goals and a number of assists while being one fo the most consistently good players on the greatest side in Championship history and helped lead Reading to it's greatest season and it's first ever promotion into the Premiership.

 

I certainly hope not

 

Is it just me, or does that announcer sound like Thomas Rongen?

(Yes, I know he's Dutch).

 

Personally I think he has an extremely annoying voice. Sounds like someone is constantly squeezing his balls.

 

Common Sense if you are using Sopcast, TVants, PPcast or anything like that the more people you have the better the stream is.... That is the whole idea of P2P

The only way a stream gets weaker is if you are getting it directly from a server and using Windows Media Player.

 

Try 20.

I guess that deserves another 'wow'.

 

I never thought I'd get to the point where I expect a goal out of MB every game. But I'll be damned if I'm not there

 

You left out Gio Rossi, who probably just completed the best calendar year ever for a Yank Abroad field player- stats wise, at least.

 

Let's stop bitching about Rossi...

And thank Johan for his excellent work providing us w/ highlights for everygame. Shit I pay .99 cents a month for GolTV and FSC, might as well throw ya a couple of bones for your work.

Just kidding, but GREATLY appreciated.

 

NO kidding..If mini Bradley ever was like Lampard, he'd rarely show his quality at NT level....

 

Does Earnie Stewart's 17 goals in the Dutch "first division" in 1990/91 count?
What? the first division is actually the second division? Damn euros!
Bradley is definitely having one of the best seasons ever for a YA, regardless of division.
