I asked the question before this tournament about why US Soccer hired
a US born coach when there really are not any world class US born
coaches.

To answer my own question, one of the major factors had to be the
success of Arena and the confidence in Bradley to continue the
trajectory of the team in the direction that BA got it going. Can't really
complain about that since even if Bradley is not "world class", I do think
that he has kept us going in the right direction. Other possible reasons
are pride and a lack of willing candidates to take the job.

My point is that I agree with your assessment of Bradley.
Great points also comparing this team to the 02 team. US Soccer is
light years ahead of where it was in 2002. The pool of players is MUCH
stronger and deeper, there has been relative success at the youth
national team levels since then, play in MLS is getting stronger, etc.,
etc

       Did you or did you not see a change in the style of play over both halves?  --  Nova Hokie 95   Tue Jun 30 2009 12:56:41 PM
           I'm sure Bradley told them to come out more defensively.  --  the_slammer   Tue Jun 30 2009 2:38:55 PM
