If we really had no true number ten at the World Cup and Donovan was not a midfielder (which for this discussion he isn't despite raping the 2013 gold cup from that position), and Mix wasn't up to snuff, then I think Feilhaber or Nguyen were our next best options.

Bradley has looked AWESOME in the ten role twice to my knowledge: against mexico's scrubs before the World Cup and against mexico's scrubs this month. Two matches does not a pattern make, and I'm not sure why Jurgen continues to try to place a square peg in a round hole.

Eta: the Benny snub, the Lichaj snub, and the Donovan snub are, however, a quite disturbing pattern.

Is it fair to say that the knock on both of those guys has always been head/heart related? It's not like they got a ton of play with Bob either. Granted, they have grown up a lot now, but I don't think either of them could have taken Bradley or Jones's spots in the World Cup and provided the work and leadership we needed.
