Bradley's talk of "suffering" leading into the World Cup was borderline masochistic

He was referring to the practices regimen that they were going through in the lead up to the World Cup.

I'd switch Cameron and Bradley but I like that diamond.

They were so tough that our players were overworked to the point of injury, but we still lacked the necessary fitness.

To be fair, it's widely agreed that playing in Brazil was absolutely ridiculous for everyone involved. These are some the best athletes in the world. If they're all talking about the difficulty of playing in that environment, there must be something to it. We also had the worst travel schedule possible.

Best win streak in USMNT history.
Gold Cup
Qualification with match to spare
Got out of Group of Death with a slew of injuries
Rd of 16 finish, chance away from winning
That's what I'm basing it on. Klinsmann knows what he is doing. Until we get around to the tune up games ahead of competitive matches, worrying about what his lineup will be is silly.
As Aaron Rodgers said, R-E-L-A-X.

Even with the god awful travel schedule, we knew that going in and it seemed like we had more injuries than the other teams and lacked the fitness advantage we used to have.

I'm not sure that I will ever get over Donovan being left off that roster. He could have helped us in a massive way, and I have to wonder if things might have been different if we had had those moments of LD magic that he's so known for.
I've come to terms with the fact that - for multiple reasons - I will never get over it.

So, seeing as I have more things on my list that you didn't mention. Wouldn't you say that is, whats the word, improvement?

Ok, well if you want to be pedantic and list every accomplishment, does Jurgen have a win over a team in a FIFA tournament that was #1 in the world?
Let me be clear, I think Jurgen is an improvement over Bob, but it's marginal at best.
ETA: By your logic, Bruce > JK (which may be true) because he took US to the quarters in the group of death.

Why do you think this? I'm genuinely curious.

Cant argue this point, remains to be seen.

We're still largely a defend and counter team. Only difference is that the player pool is better.

That's how the international game is played.

That makes Jurgen more than marginally better.

That's fine, but Jurgen has claimed from the very beginning how he wants the US to be more proactive tactically. Hasn't really happened.

LOL Wut???
The pool was getting deeper regardless of the coach.

Being proactive tactically and going balls to the wall attacking (which is what I assume you are interpreting "proactive tactically as) are two different things.

I'm assuming no such thing. In your opinion, how has Jurgen been so much better than Bob?

To be fair, he gave Yedlin a shot, and I don't think Fabian, JAB, and Mix are here without Jurgen.

How so?
Dual nationals have been a thing for US soccer for a long time. Lets not forget that Bob brought in Jermaine and Timmy Chandler.
Mix was going to end up in the US regardless. My opinion, of course, but he always seemed to identify as an American and Norway was never going to make the World Cup.
As for Yedlin, are you saying he wouldn't have played for the USMNT unless Jurgen was the coach?
Posted on 12/11/14 at 11:32 pm to Broski
Actually Mix has said on multiple occasions that he feels equally Norwegian and American, and that his decision was purely based on who approached him first for a senior call up.
Also, I don't think Bob would have brought Yedlin to Brazil. But then again he probably would have brought Donovan.
