Bradley should never have been hired in the first place.

Sunil Gulati needs to go too and a real soccer mind with an eye to the future needs to take over USSF.

I read an article about the U17 Soccer Academy in Bradenton, and its actually been a success BUT we need more than ONE academy. There should be at least 20 of them across the country to develop young talent and to lessen the chance of USSF missing someone.

:thumbup: to all.

Really? You think his selections have been quality? You seriously think he's doing a good job?

Clearly this team needs to find out what it's future is, and that's exactly what he's doing. Right now we don't have the talent to compete, but we do have young talent to assess. I could care a less if we lose 4-2 to Brazil right now, as long as it pays off in the future.

If thats the case calling in players like Wolff, Ching, Conrad, Keller, Marsch, Razov, Mastroeni etc doesn't make sense...none of those players will figure for the next WC.

If he was giving call ups to Adu, Altidore, giving more time to players like Davies & Hill he'd be looking at younger players. He's not doing it, plus to mention his son (who still has a lot of learning to do) and Bornstein(who is clearly hit or miss) seem to be automatic selections for him.

How long will it take to figure out Donovan is wasted out wide or Dempsey is wasted up top without a real target forward playing with him or that a better pairing in the Central defense than Bocanegra and Onyewu has to be found?

Exactly. Thank you! He is doing exactly ZILCH to develop most of our young talent. This guy just stinks, plain and simple.
