Michael Bradley

Bradley got his first for Roma today. Pretty good time for him to be back fit, I think.

 

Yup. And he looked calm, cool and collected, just like you're supposed to on a stick back, which are supposed to be routine, but often times aren't. He made it look easy. And we're gonna need him cuz it looks like Landon's gonna be out for the next round.

Yep, was watching the Galaxy match and it didn't look good. Fingers crossed we survive this round and maybe, just maybe, finally have a full, fit squad for the hexagonal.

 

Didn't see him in Roma's lineup vs Genoa. Anybody got the 411?

 

More plaudits for our man, MB, this one from Leander Schaerlaeckens at foxsports.com. And he's a new dad to boot. Cause for encouragement for our chances in Brazil in '14...if we make it.

Something's going on with him that we don't know about, either on or off the pitch. With so much media covering this thing, I have to believe it's off. He's just been too uncharacteristically poor, and there's no rhyme or reason to it. Something's not right, and I hope it gets resolved by Tuesday. But I fear it will not.
It's a miracle we've survived and advanced from the group of death without Jozy and with MB playing so very badly. Since it's highly unlikely Jozy will be back, we need this young man to be, well, himself. Right now, he's not. And it's a mystery as to why.
I just hope, both for his sake and ours, that he or someone figures it out. Because he's too good for what he's shown in Brazil so far. And we won't last long in the knockout stage without him performing like he's capable of on the pitch.

 

Blame Canada!!!!
