    Jermaine Jones was Dropped at this point for doing the same thing (making passes that lead to goals but a defensive liability) . Bradley is a Mr. Spoiled know it all.

    In a game delayed by lightning, how does stoppage time work?

    Oh don't worry, I'm keeping track of every touch. I know the cross field pass is easy, I know I know. That's the super fun game around here, disparaging every good thing and focusing on the faults. I get it. Let's just see what the numbers say at the end.

    If he sucks after this delay, I'll be there with you saying he sucked.

    Should have had an assist there.

    Numbers are pretty good so far! Don't worry, I know... everything he does right is easy, or back passing, and everything he does wrong is real obvious stuff that lots of players could/would do right. :thumbsup:

    he does not deserve to start. This such a freakin easy concept to understand. he has 7 shitty games followed by 1 decent game and that 1 decent game gets him continued core placement for another 6 games.

    Garber and the Bradley family own you too!

    Nope not me. Wont be fooled again.

    Like you weren't with Adu?

    Here's his halftime stats:

    24 touches
    19/21 passing, 1/3 long balls (the hockey assist), 3 build up passes (passes resulting in shots), 2/3 thru balls
    2 clearances, 1 INT, 1/2 tackles, 1 drawn foul
    0 dribbles, 0 dribbled by, 1 foul committed (which was a dive, btw), 1 dispossession

    Pretty good! Not amazing, but certainly doing the job and then some.

    Yep. Adu fooled me and I rarely mention him. As expected.

    65th minute explain that embarrassing play from Bradley. That's extremely common from Bradley. THIS SHOULD BE HIS LAST GAMES IN A USA SHIRT AS A CORE player.

    It's a shitty, flukey awkward play! Is that some huge deal? Could happen to just about anyone.

    I suppose Bradley could have positioned himself better.

    Bradley tonight:
    49 total touches
    42/45 passing, 3/5 long balls, 4 build up passes, 2/3 thru balls
    2/4 tackles, 5 interceptions/recoveries, 1 foul drawn, 2 clearances
    1 foul, 1 dispossession

    He won't have this kind of game against Mexico, but no one would in the entire US pool. I'm sure it will be used against him though.

    That's great, a donkey can have these stats too when you have Pulisic and McKennie dominating the midfield for you.

    1142593058875346944 is not a valid tweet id



    Common theme among Bradley right now is he is a traffic cone even against weak opponents.

    I wonder who hangs out more at Bradley's house, Edu, Holden, or You?

    Really so game after gamer showing himself to be a massive traffic cone and relying on great games from Mckennie and pulisic to open space for him on the offensive side but under defensive pressure, Sucks.


    Father time. he needs to go out gracefully and not like a spoiled chump.

    Bradley played well on both sides of the ball.

    I think he’s way more effective in a secondary role where he touches the ball 40-50 times in a game rather than being a fulcrum.

    There was a question of how the team moves the ball from defense to offense and a combination of route one to Jozy as target and Weston’s ability to break lines via sublime passes (with perfect weighting) as well as via dribbling answers that question nicely.

    The future is a central midfield combo of Adams, Weston and Pulisic.

    A functioning forward in Jozy made Bradley so much better. Those little layoffs from Jozy seemed to find him in stride facing forward where he can have a comfortable touch before his next action instead of scrambling to keep possession

    I thought it was Bradley's best game in a while. Ream too. He was passing quickly when someone was open instead of looking right at them and switching the other way. He was bust a gut to help on the sideline and he actually made some good tackles. Now, whether that was a one time thing or he's in better shape than he's been in a while we'll see.
