Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said as much in the Daily Mail, saying that, "'I think he did a fantastic job and I am surprised […]

  Sitting here almost a week after the 2010 World Cup, I like many other US fans have been going over the many pros and cons of retaining Bob Bradley as the US manager.  US Soccer President Sunil Gulati and Fulham owner Mohamed Al Fayed probably have many of the same questions that we do, […]

Bob Bradley, as coach of the United States men's national team, has done a heroic effort by taking the country to the final of the Confederations Cup in 2009 and leading the US to an admirable Round of 16 qualification this summer in the World Cup. Bradley has nothing to be ashamed of and has […]

Without a doubt, formations are one of the most underrated elements of the tactical game. Many countries adopt the simplistic two banks of four with two up top and that’s that.

It has seemed at times that every moment the U.S. Men's National Team begins to get a glimpse of what their squad will look like come the first group match of the World Cup, the injury bug strikes.  At the Confederation's Cup, Charlie Davies became a household name and the U.S. finally had a much […]

This Saturday marks the last tune up match the United States have before they take the field June 12 against England in their World Cup opener.  After four years of building his squad, Bradley still has some questions that still need to be cleared up before the South African campaign begins.  Here is my lineup.  […]

One of the positives Bob Bradley has brought to the United States Men's National Team is formation stability.
