He. Is. A. Stud.
No chance he is playing at Sienna come September. Too good.

Missed all but 10-15 minutes of the game because of an emergency at work. Nearly killed someone in rage, but whatever.
I will say this tournament has been helpful despite losing to Mexico.
What we've learned:
-Lichaj is promising on the left.
-Our CB's are lacking. Tough to tell how much of that is not knowing each other all that well. Boca is decent, but he's only got a couple years left.
-Dolo is far more important that anyone gives him credit for. But he's also only got a couple years left in him at this level.
-Bedoya and Adu should be included for the next 8 years.
-Bradley is our future captain.
-Jones is bipolar. He makes some great plays, especially cross field passing, but then will make a foolish turnover/tackle. I think we're playing a bit faster than he's suited for.
-Dempsey/Donovan can be great when we find them. Unfortunately, they both can disappear for long stretches with the way we play.
-Jozy is good. He might not be playing club matches as often as we'd like, but he plays solid for the Nats. I think he's growing a lot more as a player than most admit.
-Agudelo has a future, but he's not there yet.
-Bornstein continues to suck, completely.
-Ream isn't ready. In fairness, not a lot of CB's are at his age. He needs to learn to anticipate and position better, but these things come with experience.
-Sascha is serviceable as a ACM. Fortunately, there's 3 or 4 guys who are better at that spot. He's awful on the wings.
-Howard is solid. He had no chance on the two goals I saw tonight. He made a number of outstanding saves this tournament, without which, we wouldn't have been in the finals.
-Bob Bradley is done. Made some good choices this tournament and some more headscratchers. Adu doesn't make the roster for the group stage then gets brought in for the semis? Ream/Wondo go from starting to left out to bench? No chance given to Edu in the group stage? I'm happy to see he went to a 4-5-1 and his selections were better than in the past, but it's time for a change. He's done well in his time.
Watched the U17 team for the first time tonight and was blown away by Guido. Was pretty much a man amongst boys for much of the night. Will be interesting to watch him develop. Anyone know what his club status is?

Barrera is quality. You wish he was American. Stop being jealous.
I'm so fucking sick of people being like, "oh he is a bitch!11!!" When all they really mean is, "oh, I wish he played for my team!"
Pathetic.
seriously don't see how you could come away being impressed with Bradley. I know you can't say anything bad about the guy here, but he's average. That's all. Average.
baby bradley that is
That's why he's not playing for club and that's why his old club shipped his ass out for free when fighting a relegation battle
I really couldn't care less that he tries hard. That should be a given. That's not captain material.
Who should be captain?

Really? You wouldn't want your hardest working player to be captain? There's no one on the field who gives more effort than him. Even if you think he's average, I doubt you'd argue that.
