I'm still as pissed at Michael Bradley this morning as I was at Mitch Williams the morning after he gave up that dinger to Carter in '93.

The only comparative I've been able to come up with is to McNabb.

No question Bradley was a main reason in the USMNT's success, but in the biggest game, on the biggest stage, he came up small.

He's been very erratic.

I must admit I hate soccer but watching the games this year hasn't been quite so bad. Last year I started watching the NBA playoffs so maybe soccer is a natural progression?
