great wins: 1 (spain)
good wins: 1 (egypt)
bad losses: 2 (brazil - final, losing after being up 2-0 is a bad loss any
way you slice it, being up 2-0 is more like a 20 pt halftime lead in your
scenario, italy - we just crumbled in a real opportunity - i could make a
case for placing this in the below category)
embarrassments: 1 (brazil first go )

overall 2 wins 3 losses in the tournament.

people have had heartburn over bradley and the general direction of the
national team for a long while now. the fact that the stars aligned
during our eqypt match and that we finally came up with one truly
impressive performance at an opportune time against spain does not
completely absolve him.

all that said, i'd rather have someone else coaching, based on a rather
large body of work, but KNOW that's not going to happen til after the
cup. so i'm not on any crusade. however, i definately understand the
people that want him gone

       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
               No hiding it...I'm not a Bradley fan at all  --  HoosInLondon?   Tue Jun 30 2009 4:20:57 PM
                   Meant to say that South Africa lost both, of course... **  --  HoosInLondon?   Tue Jun 30 2009 4:38:53 PM
