re: Bradley and Dempsey

I'd say you are generally right.
Dempsey is not a guy who plays forward up top by himself. In my opinion, Bradley wasn't impacted by Jozy's injury nearly as much. I think this was a tactical decision by Klinsmann who thought Bradley was better and more adaptable than he actually was (I think many of us thought the same thing).
You are certainly right that this Cup was not the ideal situation for either guy.
I imagine Jermaine Jones will retire from the US team either in the next few weeks or 2016 after Copa America. Depends on what he wants to do. After that point, Bradley's role will definitely shift and become more defensive. In the meantime, i would also be surprised if we use 2 DMs behind Bradley since that is only a good strategy against teams that are noticeably better than us.

I can only hope that after this world cup, bradley decides to not return. I have never been more disappointed with a player ever.

I certainly hope not. Bradley is not good enough to be the maestro of the US attack. He is a solid box-to-box midfielder though.
