I'm a bit late, but needed all this time to wind down.Depressing and...disgusting?Bradley said he knew how much this meant to fans...really?We put a C team out there,but under his watch. We shouldn't ask for his head until after Aug.12. Only b/c Costa Rica WC Quali. 3-1? 3-0? was EMBARRASING.DISAPPOINTING. Also the unnecessary losses to Italy & Brazil in Confed. cup. Mr.Bradley PLEASE STOP EXPERIMENTING.WE CAN'T KEEP ASKING THE BEST & SAME PLAYERS TO BAIL US (and you)OUT i.e. Donovan,Oguchi,Howard... This loss can cost us a lot. You & many others can downplay this, but what if Donovan got injured?(Lord forbid.) Our opponents just got a shot of hope...at our expense;we supplied them with it.Perhaps the most dangerous thing.Wasn't Blatter at the game? How can or does this help our bid for supremacy and #1 seed(group seed or head of group)at World Cup? Winning at Azteca is no easy feat, even with our better and more talented team(a fact to all you mexicans...face reality.Mexico doesn't have a bad team and a loss shouldn't hinder a WC berth.However a win for mexico...and I'm eating crow.) All this pain & sadness must be taken b/c Mr.Bradley is not listening.Your not a bad coach;You've achieved good things, but please play your best players. Even they need play b/c otherwise a loss brings issues of how they don't know their teammates from lack of time. A real team is like family.So keep them together.I hope some one reads this and finds it useful. Thank you for your time. and as always GO USA!ProfessorC180https://www.blogger.com/profile/17984511075338812163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-25172573201182069182009-07-31T19:11:18.726-07:002009-07-31T19:11:18.726-07:00Now everybody knows how USA plays allways the same...Now everybody knows how USA plays allways the same tactic doesn't mater if it's Team A or B I don't think they can surprised Spain again in the next 40 yearsAugiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190051461761513673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-3686589444053710132009-07-31T16:36:06.040-07:002009-07-31T16:36:06.040-07:00It was no fluke, Mexico finally has the right grou...It was no fluke, Mexico finally has the right group of guys.

I don't remember seeing the same players on the field against Spain as those playing against Costa Rica...<br /><br />Bob Bradley needs to get off of his middle school "everyone deserves a chance to play" kick and field his best players.

As an American I'm embarassed that even at Giants Stadium we lacked the same home field advantage that every other national team in the world gets for a game of this magnitude. For this I blame most of the mainstream media, who relegated their Gold Cup coverage, (as well as their coverage of the rest of the flurry of amazing soccer activity that has been taking place in this country for the past several weeks,) to tiny blurbs hidden in obsure section of the sports pages. These players deserve much better from us.<br /><br />On the bright side, I'm very happy to see that Mexico will now be so overconfident on August 12th. Let's just see what Landon, Josey, Clint, Michael, Gooch, Steve, Carlos, Tim and company have to say about that.Señor Tocinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02676700810407608694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-65448403151543629842009-07-27T16:51:56.518-07:002009-07-27T16:51:56.518-07:00oh guys, you know there is a great difference betw...oh guys, you know there is a great difference between the A team and the B team, then it's hard for Bob Bradley because first when you train a team that has the skill and the experience to beat spain and after that you have to train and play with a team that has experience in game and there are only young playeurs who can't even beat Haiti...So before the match I knew we were going to lose and I were really sad to know that Mexico beat us 5-0.I<3MNThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026019471278348171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-34335199308193431672009-07-27T16:39:55.581-07:002009-07-27T16:39:55.581-07:00Well time to put that behind us considering that t...Well time to put that behind us considering that there might be only one or two players from that game on the WC roster.<br /><br />Revenge is spelled: August 12th.pdrcoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708660274878831094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-31869145534862055252009-07-27T16:33:13.949-07:002009-07-27T16:33:13.949-07:00There is no excuse for this awful loss!! even the ...There is no excuse for this awful loss!! even the USA team before mls didn't get humiliated like this. 10 years of dominance is now gone. it took mexico 1 game to delete them. from those years the 5-0 game will always come up first.
