    honestly, I dont think he played well in the 3-4 matches before the CR match... Bradley's play kind of overshadowed how bad the US were against Mexico...

    regardless of how you feel he played (and I still maintain he had good games), i dont agree with calling one of OUR PLAYERS a sack of shit.

    I agree with that... I just dont think YOU should have to say he played good in a few matches (when reviews are sort of mixed on that) to prove he isnt...

    Mastro is not a sack of shit, and anyone who says that can get the hell out of here...

    we disagree...that is different. I can state my opinion all I want.

    there is no disagreeing that calling someone a sack of shit is uncalled for.

    my whole point is that he isnt a sack of shit, but saying he played well in a few matches doesnt justify that...

    Joey Barton can put in 5 straight MOTM performances, but he will always be a sack of shit, lol


    what he does on the pitch does not matter in the type of person he is...

    Well,I for one am glad we had such a dominating performance in the first half,showing no need for Adu or Torres.








    Yes,i am too lazy to use sarcasm tags.

    Apparently,we don't need Torres or Adu when we have an in-form Benny.


    I am not using sarcasm in this case.:)

    Apparently our goal is to pare the number of finesse players down to the bare minimum, and not a single skill player more!

    The Germans have over powered teams with strength, height, defense and goalkeeping.

    You guys are like the fans of Brazil. We have to win and win pretty.

    Give me a break.

    Bob fielded a tough hard working team and won with pure grit. Toughness, defense, and heart is much more important than putting together a fancy 5' nothing team.

    Bob is the man. In Bob I trust!

    In addition to those qualities you mentioned, German teams were/are technically advanced and tactically astute. They are far more than defense, height and goal keeping.

    did you watch the match today? or notice that Feilhaber was subbed in, and is pretty much the opposite of what you are describing (altho Feilhaber put in some tackles)


    if we didnt have Feilhaber to hold the ball and look for passes, we dont win today...

    Adu and Torres would've been perfect for this game, especially for killing it off with possession at the end.

    I simply don't understand really anything Bob Bradley does.

    this... Torres would have brought in a lot of calmness... with benny, even tho he can spot a pass, he doesnt slow the tempo down when it needs to happen...

    Torres does well at this... and Freddy wouldnt lose the ball much, or just draw fouls...



    and dont worry, no one knows what Bob Bradley is doing, including him :)

    Grit and heart gets you tears in the end. See: England.

    Prince and dwsmith answered perfectly.
