At the risk of starting a total flame war, I'll be the first to eat a piece. I still don't know why Casey is wearing a U.S. uniform but I can't bother to come up with an excuse cuz my mouth is full right now.
I was starting to have some doubts after the Brazil game, but the Italy game meant nothing to me. That Egypt game was probably the deciding factor for me and I'm glad it has worked out well. Great job by Bob for his efforts today against the opponent with the best international winning streak ever.
I'll eat a little crow I think Bradley has gotten his teams to start off well in 3 out of the last 4 games. His starting 11 has been right against Egypt, Italy, and Spain. That's a big plus But I do think he waits to long to sub. But hey.. results to speak for themselves.
I have no problem eating crow. I'm glad Bradley finally gave someone for Jozy to work with up top, pushed Donovan to the outside where he's always done well instead of having him as a withdrawn forward, and ditched Beasley (hopefully for good). I think these last two games are a combination of tactics that let our players play, and the players showing up. He seems to have adjusted to what a lot of people around here consider to be questionable decisions, at least over these last two games.
Yeah, I guess I'll eat some crow too. Sigh. Congrats to BB for not putting out a lineup hampered by players playing positions they are unfamiliar with or so completely out of form they aren't sure what sport they're playing. Anyways, I guess I'll fall back on the few things I still don't like BB for. His subs and the way he uses them. Yes, Feilhaber in and pushing Dempsey up top has been successful, but that's about it. Two subs, Casey, Kljestan, Beasley, etc. Anyways, time to chow down on some more crow.
I'll eat some. Bradley lost me sometime last year and I won't belabor that point. But the reality is, he deserves some measure of credit for this. I don't think one can deny that. So with that, I will eat some.
For what it's worth, I removed myself from the Facebook group. Crow eaten and boy does it taste good. That being said, I'm glad Bob and the team felt the pressure. I have no doubt it pushed them to improve. Well done, boys...and well done fans for holding Bob and the team accountable.
Glad to have found the "Official" thread for this... can't be caught eating crow in the "Unofficial" thread. That would just be foolish.
Eating crow.... It appears, over the last two games at least, that Bob Bradley has learned from past mistakes. It also appears that some players have stepped up and shown some heart. I think the two are connected. I truly hope it continues. We just beat Spain 2-0! Giddy up! Nice to beat someone 2-0 besides Mexico.....
I won't eat anything Yankee... But IF we somehow win Sunday Bradley for U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame IMMEDIATELY!
I will not eat crow i still hate this guy i want him out. This last 2 results are awful just for the reason this idiot will be our coach next year
He's not the best, he's not the worst, he's our manager for 2010. Please Solidarity!!! Let's get aloung because as USMNT fans, there really is very very few of us!! I dont think there was a soul at the game, maybe that one girl at the end that was SAms Army
Too bad for the haters. He just solidified his hold on the top job through WC 2010. Not that the USSF would have done anything before then but if they were thinking about it, they aren't anymore. Well done Bob and the squad.
Theres too many idiots out there who think they know everything. Bradley is one of the best coaches we've ever had, win or lose, they showed today that it comes down to our lads stepping up. Too many haters in this world, as if they have nothing better to do. Get back off the bandwagon!!!!
I think we've found our best formation...can't agree with his subs but my goodness I'll eat nothing but crow tonight!!!!!!
Tastes Great! The team and the coach seem to have come through just at the point when I least expected it . . . thank you for giving us all a bit of hope for the remainder of qualifying. And would somebody tell Lalas and the rest of ESPN to stop talking about the World Cup and keep the focus on the qualifying games still ahead of us . . . While eating crow in the name of Bradley I would also like to take a bite or two in honor of Donovan (who I have from time to time been unhappy with) he seems to be stepping up as both a player and leader this tournament and I can't help but think it would be great to seem him continue attacking with ever increasing confidence . . . GO USA! USA! USA!
i'll take a few bites of crow. happy to be able to. not fully convinced yet, but i can't argue with this win, the formation or the way the guys played. well done!
I won't blame anybody who called for his firing after he started Kljestan and Beasley against Brazil. It's good to see he learned from his mistakes!
