Why not Bornstein?Mr.Bradley through his player experimentation has created a problem for himself.Too many players.In most cases a coaches dream. However in this case the captain is in the thick of things.Bocanegra didn't play b/c of injury.So Demerit got a shot...And he was good.Although Oguchi Onyewu is an irreplaceable rock in defense (much as Donovan is in offense) Demerit started slow,but then blossomed and the duo was great.Then against Spain Bocanegra is put in at left back. Why not center?B/c that would disrupt what Guch and Demerit had.Smart move. A better move would have been to play Bornstein instead. You see Bocanegra can defend,but can't go forward.Not his fault.Bornstein defends and goes forward.Against Spain we got away with it.Against Brazil...No.At halftime Dunga must've seen this and told his amazing laterals(Maicon and Alves) to go forward full steam.Maicon on the left(against Boca) put in the first deadly goal pass to Fabiano.Not Boca's fault,but the coaches.Don't know whether to play Demerit or Boca against mexico,but Bradley needs to bench someone.Period.Even if it is the captain.At best Boca or Demerit can play in front of the central defense alongside Michael Bradley.At best.Not on the wings.By the way JONATHAN SPECTOR WAS SPECTACULAR.IRREPLACEABLE AS WELL.THE KID RAN ALONG SIDE THE SPANIARDS AND BRAZILIANS.Perhaps the other Jonathan would play as well.ProfessorC180https://www.blogger.com/profile/17984511075338812163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-21216071499504636292009-08-06T18:36:35.305-07:002009-08-06T18:36:35.305-07:00Visited new site and looks great.However would'...Visited new site and looks great.However would've been nice if the same blog was kept.

He would've paired well with Ching.Two big, strong forwards too big and strong for the smaller mexicans.Wasted chance. Bradley also waited too long to sub him in.He waits too long to make changes. These subs need to be made sooner.I understand about the players in Europe not playing ,but what about Jonathan Bornstein? He plays in the states and didn't play a minute?C'mon.Or Klejstan for that matter...who i am not fond of,but should've played.Two experienced players.ProfessorC180https://www.blogger.com/profile/17984511075338812163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-27357985013717844782009-08-06T18:20:23.703-07:002009-08-06T18:20:23.703-07:00I agree with Caleb's and I like Tuesday's ...I agree with Caleb's and I like Tuesday's comments.Hopefully he plays very well and the team moves up or he does. <br /> More importantly why didn't he start against Mexico in Gold cup final?He was recognized as one of the better players in the tourny with his best eleven role. He's big,strong and huge.The mexicans fear players like that.Simply intimidating.The guy scores as well.The downfall of this team in the 2006 WC was Bruce Arena's love and damaging loyalty to certain players.Mr. Bradley can't afford to make the same mistake or the results will be the same.Quaranta should have also started that match.Ching plays well,but when put in his role;he is a pure bred striker.A scavenger.Give him the ball in a good spot and he's too experienced to miss.However age is a factor.He can't be asked to run all over the pitch.That's someone else role.Donovan can't be asked to be a central defender...it won't work.Play the best players in their positions and that's it.We'll be fine.The game is simple and beautiful.ProfessorC180https://www.blogger.com/profile/17984511075338812163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-81378438565214324562009-08-06T17:58:49.532-07:002009-08-06T17:58:49.532-07:00Right on guys!

Hope more and all related U.S. pieces are posted for everyone.Clint truly is a great player and it was sad,but also great to see him shedding tears after the loss to Brazil in final of Confed. cups. It tells us he truly had his heart and soul invested in that match and tourney and reflects what many of us felt.Playing and representing the U.S. in any sport is a true honor and it must feel amazing ot wear that jersey. Hopefully the loss isn't a feeling repeated often and replaced with the joy of winning (like beating Spain). In any case all we ask is that they give their all and leave it on the pitch... no matter the result. Good luck against Mexico.USA!ProfessorC180https://www.blogger.com/profile/17984511075338812163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-23422310954311959582009-08-06T17:40:51.327-07:002009-08-06T17:40:51.327-07:00This is good news for Jozy and U.S. supporters...I...This is good news for Jozy and U.S. supporters...If Hull doesn't do what Villareal did and other discriminating European clubs do and bench an American.Don't (& hope) think that will happen b/c he should have spoken to the club & coach and should know his role; otherwise why accept if no playing time?

Can anyone at ussoccer tell me why in the world you would train for two days at sea level and then expect to go to mexico city @ almost 7500ft expect to keep up? Why wouldn't you at least train in Denver at around 5500ft? The facilities surrounding Dicks Sporting Goods Field are more than sufficient. Granted two days is not a lot of time to get acustomed to the altitude, but its still two days of high altitude training.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382902235515482533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405744355603283473.post-9657346892496869022009-08-05T00:07:17.453-07:002009-08-05T00:07:17.453-07:00Where to begin.

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-32446371089754134872009-08-04T16:40:31.404-07:002009-08-04T16:40:31.404-07:00Great stuff here!
