U.S.A v. Mexico

I think Mexico made the chances because the coach was talking bad about the coach that he replaced and wanted to win in the U.S. to make a statement that he was the real deal. Thankfully the U.S. stepped up and continued the winning streak. Lets see if that coach will be around for the next World Cup. I think Bradly has deserved at least a chance of taking the interm title off. I guess we have to wait until spring or later to know that though.

 

Donovan looked good. Dempsey and Convey needed some more time with the team. Bornstein is going to be amazing in two or three years. That's all I have to say. The backline didn't look too great excpet for Bornstein. F**king Magpies.

 

Tom, thanks for the analysis. That is what I suspected since I had not heard any talk about him, but I didn't know for sure. Maybe, Don, he will end up at Luton Town and then we could see...

 

I think he'd hold his own in the EPL but I don't seem as a starter on a good team. He dosen't have the size, speed, ect. to be a great central back.

That said the guy has been underestimated his whole career. He had to walk on in college, then didn't get drafted by MLS nor receive offers from anywhere else, yet he always makes it somehow.

If his contract runs out I'd be happy for Fulham to give him a trial and see if he can cut it, but I can't see buying him. As Tom says its to much of a risk.

 

After my initial excitement about the win has died down, I'm looking back and thinking, why am I thinking of jumping on the Bradley bandwagon now? Yes, he's 2-0 as USMNT coach. And yes the Mexico win was a great win; he had no fear about putting some younger players into a big friendly and I respect that. But I for one am going to wait before I fully endorse Bradley. If we can get some good results against some top European or South American nations, I'll jump right on the bandwagon with everyone else. Until then, I'm still going to be cautious. The COPA will be a big test for him.

On a totally unrelated note, can someone get Boca a friggin' haircut?
