Off to Denver........Hope you guys have a great holiday........if you haven't read Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving declaration of 1863:  (almost as eloquent as Linus in a Peanuts' Christmas :-)   The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come,...

  Mr. Vitale - another GREAT post.  This question had been asked at the beginning of Bradleys miserable tenure as he showed his preferred addiction to the double destroyer which was so anti-american, anti-offensive, and miserably suited for us that I think we accepted the single destroyer look he has now employed.  I agree that eliminating this for two traditional midfielders would be a step forward.  A 4-3-3 would be even better and...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsB6FFg94oU For those who didn't see it yet.  I saddest part is watching the goalie pounding the ground with his fist when Defoe gets his third...and know there are five more goals coming. Sad. There is also a great own goal later in the clip by Ricketts.  He is shrugging his shoulders before the ball in even in the net.  Classic.

SOccer experience? I'm a beast at fifa 10?? I play in an over 20 league at RB and I'm terrible.  I cant wait till I can move up to the over 30 league in 2 years... then I can outrun some people. I came to soccer late in life.

This is a repeat of a post on another topic, but warrants its own thread:   Torres should replace Clarke/Edu (though I do like Edu).  I don't understand why Bradley HAS to have a defensive center mid- play some creative guys together and tighten up the backline, and the world will open up!  Spector is excellent in any position, he is poised and strong, and if Demerit is healthy or of course Gooch (who the US needs badly) there is no...

yeah but what if gooch is not fit and is sloppy?  i cringe.

As a very proud father I will give my oldest son props as ZABE2010 was named 1st team Academic All-Ohio this season and had a great year after missing all of last year with total ACL reconstruction.  I'm very PROUD of you son!!!     That's good to hear, congratulations, I hope he is ok...Ohio is a good state for soccer.  Tell him this advice if he is trying to go to the next level: RUN as much as possible!!!  Fitness is a...

Bradley has tried this before and every time the USMNT has been shredded! The US has a hard enough time holding possession, when you take away any resemblance of a holding/defensive midfielder, the US has been constantly caught needing their backline to defend against 6 players coming forward. Without a holding/defensive midfielder, the US is not good enough to hold enough possession and they leave far too large of a gap between the midfield...
