re: Michael Bradley completed 98.2% of his passes tonight

I would still disagree with you. I thought Jurgen's tactics for most of the match yesterday were very odd.

Great. Doesn't mean he's "clueless", especially when he gets a result with that many players injured against a very talented Mexico side at their stadium.
And again, I'm pretty sure we would have lost if Bradley had been bounding up and down the length of the field "maximizing his talents."

In some ways, yes.

BUT, the US was disciplined, organized and actually look like they knew what the frick they were doing.

The frustrating thing is that you can probably count on one hand the number of times you could say that in the last two years.

The last time I recall (not counting the Scotland "scrimmage") was Slovenia.

In both games, we played an empty bucket 4-4-2, and Jermaine Jones' positionally undisciplined, turnover prone arse wasn't on the field.

One could almost suggest those two things are related.
