World Cup 2010

To me, the US failure falls squarely on Bradley's shoulders.

His constant ability to not field the proper starting 11 and horrible usage of substitutes constantly has the US behind the eight-ball. As well with his lack of ability to get his players ready for the first 15-20 mins.

When I saw his starting lineup yesterday, I knew we might be in some trouble early. The fact that Edson Buddle didn't see time when he was the hottest player coming in is ridiculous.

Bradley's affinity for Clark and Findley is absurd. Clark, in my mind was the worst midfielder on the squad. Findley's speed is amazing, but using him to start makes no sense. He is best off the bench in the second half when defenders have slowed down. His ability to be so quick at that point is a huge strength to the US squad, having him start the game neutralizes his ability some.

DeMerit yesterday was a bad choice too. I would have taken Gooch at 75% over the way DeMerit walked around yesterday.

I just feel we were out managed quite a bit in this World Cup. Bradley does some things very well, unfortunately he does many things EXTREMELY poor.

I hope come Brazil, Bradley is an afterthought as far as coaching goes.
