HSIQ folks...how bad is Michael Bradley?

I wish he'd stop sucking. He's usually pretty good, but is not having a good WC at all

[kslim]

Bradley is the jake waters of American soccer

[sunny_cat]

Bradley is the best player on the team. Having a rough WC. Will go down as the greatest American ever ahead of Donovan.

[joda]

Will take this half tho. Rough start but weathered it and still tied.

shiiiiiiiiit Dempsey will always be better than Bradley. He actual ya know scores and stuff

[Spracne]

Keep it tied for the next 25 minutes, and we are golden.

Personally I still feel Dempsey is better. Bradley will have to do something in a WC or in a major Euro league before I'd put him as best ever.

Hot Takes with Stevesie60:

1. Every US game I've watched this year seems like the other team gets more shots on goal, but ours are always better. Why is that? Plays? If so, why did our corner kick suck so bad? Just bad execution?

2. Soccer fans, you've admitted that these dudes fall over trying to get a call like, way too much, right?

3. Someone answer my ? about Howard. Is he the best goalie in the world or am I just biased because I'm not a terrorist?

Thank you for reading. This has been Hot Takes with Stevesie60.

As a complete futbol novice, I'm happy with the first half. Go US of A.

[joda]

And Howard is the best American player btw.

Maybe but I never include keepers when talking about the best players.

I don't disagree with this at all.

I'm dead serious.

Dempsey isn't better than Michael Bradley.

right now he is killing Bradley and guess what, right now is when it matters now get back in the lower division thread

[kslim]

Just remember guys sunny cat hates pullen

So take everything he says as bullshit

I never said anything about during the World Cup. Jones is the best player in the WC so far. Then Howard/Dempsey.

[SdK]

That French speaking nurse looks a lot like Zoey Deschanel right?

[joda]

Bradley is great against inferior players but he's never done what Dempsey does against equal to superior players

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think we are just toying with Germany right now. Running in the mud is hard work, and our strikers are still rested while theirs have already worn themselves out to no avail. Look for the Americats to come out strong in the second half. We are about to open the flood gates.

Portugal up 1-0.

[sunny_cat]

Portugal up 1-0.

wut

[joda]

Portugal up 1-0.

That's good btw (not as good as tied but better than Ghana being up)

[Rage Against the McKee]

Portugal up 1-0.

Spoiler alert: They will still be up 1-0 at halftime in 30 minutes when the feed you are watching catches up to real life.
