you are good in your qualifying area. If the US had to qualify for major tournaments through Europe or South America they would be in alot less tournaments

At least in the last World Cup we were pretty comparable to England and other teams in our group, we should have beat England too if it wasn't for that "phantom foul"

you act as if being one of America's best midfielders is a huge honor and sign of excellence....you realize that America's team is a VERY VERY mediocre team...

Just because a good team buys someone doesnt make them good...talk about being a noob


look at how many players manchester united for example have brought in who havent panned out...Bebe the most recent example...Frederico macheda also


don't let your american blind bias hide your judgement...bradley is a top midfielder on a mediocre team, that doesnt make him a top tier player


nice try with calling me a noob though...almost worked out for you

I never said Bradley was like a world class player I said he is one of the best midfielders on the US team because you said he sucks but he doesn't he has taken his game to the next level over the last year, also the US is not mediocre they were able to beat Spain the #1 team in the world in the 2009 Confederations Cup and beat Italy in Italy in February and beat Mexico in one of the best home field advantages in the world in Mexico City. The US will improve as time goes by remember this sport in this country wasn't sh!t 20 or 25 years ago the US will be a top 10 team in the world by the end of the decade.

People said "No way MLS will exist in 10 years or have more than 10 teams", and see where that is at now, Top 10 in decade is pushing it, but by the end of next decade why not, the best athletes in the world come from this country.

In basketball and football yes...ALOT will have to change with soccer in the US

Always hear that stat, but being a high schooler in that demographic, I can tell you I don't buy it.

Well it depends was your school mostly all white? I went to a mostly Hispanic/African American HS and soccer was the most popular sport besides football and basketball.
