Agreed. He was really good for us for a while.

Waaay overblown. His quality didn’t drop, it just stagnated.

And he was still our best player in the 2018 cycle not named Pulisic. Not his fault Jurgen fricked that team over and then Bruce called in a bunch of old guys to try and salvage things.

Bradley had some serious talent and that goal was very precise, though it was mostly due to Ochoa being dumb and way off his line for some reason. But ultimately, it never felt like Bradley had any sort of “it” factor that was needed to help bring the team to the next level. He was too much of a role player IMO and it’s a tragedy we didn’t have somebody better than him. I’ll take Tyler Adams over him, all day.

Did Bradley suck? Of course not. But he left much to be desired and much of the criticism over him is warranted.

Woah, Bradley is a more complete midfielder than Adams has been to this point... healthier too.

Never seen that photo before.

And tbh I thought he’d already retired and started coaching somewhere.

You could have posted the goalazo against Mexico in the azteca in WCQ, his 2 goals in a dos a cero victory, his awesome performances in the 2010 World Cup, or mentioned his 16 goals as a teenager in the Eredivisie. Not sure why you chose that specifically.


Bradley will go down as a USMNT GOAT. I got to meet him when he was with Verona and he is a stand up guy. Took time to chat with me even though it was late and he had a newborn at home. He will always have my respect.

The nepotism claims were the origin story of QSMNT Twitter.

The best ability is availability.

It took insane talent, and cajones, to pull that off. It obviously pains you to do so, but give credit where it’s due.

Never understood the hate he got either. TYFYS.

Someone needs to come up with an all bald starting 11 for the US.

I think we need to set a criteria on who counts as bald.

Is Donovan bald?

We have world-class goalkeepers either way.

Donavan would be classified as balding but not bald. Conor Casey Would be starting at Forward for sure.
