re: Michael Bradley's performance versus Germany compared to France's midfielders

Here's an example of Bradley's many derps in the WC. This is in the Belgium game. Dempsey's gives him a great pass and he just can't control the ball.

Eh that's not a derp. That stuff sort happens every game to every player.

Some of you focus so deeply on the particulars that you miss the big picture. Bradley is a classic number 6 who was asked to basically be our no. 10. He's actually one of the best American players ever, regardless of how he played at this WC. Claudio Reyna made a massive mistake in the 06 WC that led to us being knocked out, and honestly didn't have a great tournament. For some of you that would equal him not being one of the best American players ever.
