    Absolutely. We played Italy to a draw. The refs handed them the win, but that doesn't change the fact that our boys know that they played Italy to a draw.

    Just as well. If he was playing for the US, Bradley might have left him on the bench anyways.

    Oh, I'm sure we've had a couple, but it's hard to score when you don't shoot.

    Because it's becoming pretty clear that Adu isn't a very good player.

    How can he win player of the year if his club manager doesn't put him in? He is sitting for a reason on club level, unless.. Bradley is also in charge of his club team?

    You argue like a child.

    Don't worry everyone! We'll be beating the likes of T&T and El Salvador soon and then all will be right in the world. :D

    Trinidad. But I agree with you. The real question is a good goal from the run of the play against a good opponent. I don't count Bradley's goal against Mexico as a good goal since it was the gift of all time from Oswaldo. Maybe like Ghana in 2006. Ecuador in Tampa. I don't know.

    Howard and almost everyone on the team deserves a better coach.

    Ref gave the game to the overrated Italians.

    Demerritt not good enough for nats.

    Uh, yeah, that's more reason to break his ****ing legs. He's a traitor to his country, and I don't care what you say to that. **** Giuseppe Rossi.

    What makes me the most mad is that Clark put us into a hole in the 33rd minute. Stupid challenge. I dont care if the referee messed up and gave him a red. Don't dive in and make stupid plays in big games Rico.

    Our team was tired towards the end. Why does it seem like we are always jogging ? Kljestan just came on and looked like he was tired.

    I wish once we could have a game where we get to go out and actually play without the refs f*cking it up.

    Rossi was without a doubt Italy's best player.

    And Dempsey shouldnt start next game, not until he decided to do more than jog.

    Likely because soccer is a fifth rate sport at best in the U.S., and Italy is a world power.

    Well dumb ass its pretty damn simple. When he does play at the NT level what does he do? How many goals does he have? How much of an impact does he make? There is a reason he doesn't play at his club team, and why he doesn't play in WCQ's or in this tourney. He isn't good enough!

    It's time for Sunil Gulati to do something he should have done three years ago: FIND A NEW USMNT HEAD COACH. Bob Bradley should've just stayed as an interim, and it is apparent now. He just isn't the man to lead the senior team.

    Also, if they do look at new coaches, they need to hire a non-American coach, or atleast someone who isn't connected with MLS.
