I just got done watching the LA Galaxy/San Jose Earthquake match tonight. Donovan/Buddle were fantastic! It is too bad Bradley did not give them more time on the pitch togehter during the World Cup. Just another example by Bradley is an idiot and should be fired.

I am all for strong opinions, but this is demonstrably untrue. Buddle has turned into a fine MLS level striker, but he was in over his head at the World Cup, and he was visibly terrified in his 25 minutes against Algeria. It is easy to forget now, but he was in on goal late in that match. He turned....and rolled the ball to no one.

Bradley is not an idiot and he should not be fired.

Spot on, n3e.

Agree with nathan3e.

It may be time for new blood in our national organization but to use the word fired is wrong and just a bit too emotional...

I actually thought that Bradley did a pretty good job at the WC. Buddle is a good player but the competition at the WC is a little different then the MLS and he looked very nervous against Algeria. I was especially impressed by the younger of the Bradley's though.

What, he got all of 20 minutes in the WC--and if you watch him, he was actually making stuff happen. More than could be said for Findley! He sure did a great job in the pre-tourney friendlies. Terrible decision by Bradley not to allow him work his magic in the real deal!

Goal #1 vs. Australia

Goal #2 vs. Australia

That's funny.

Well, that all depends on what you mean by making stuff happen. If you mean frivolously wasting a golden chance when we needed a goal to advance I agree with you.

P.S. The Australia game did not count. Eddie Johnson has looked dominant in meaningless games as well.

I think the best thing that happened to the US is when Findley got his second yellow--and then Bradley once again demonstrated his stupidity by not starting Buddle.

A little bit more of Buddle...

You could be right... Who are we to say you're wrong after the second World Cup where no US MNT forward player scored a goal during the finals... ??
