Bradley shouldnt have missed that pass in the midfield. He was off his game today for sure.
Yedlin was great and the team as a whole played great.
Sometimes the score just doesn't reflect the effort or talent.
Disappointing.

Well that was brutal. Game won for last :30 and our goalie got complacent.
Tough way to tie a game in extra minutes. Didn't help that Bradley played a terrible game, missing a wide open shot and a lot of sloppy passes as well as giving away the ball that lead to the last goal. Cameron had his moments as well. Nice seeing the Sounder duo contribute.

Gutted Fantastic to see Yedlin having an impact! WTF Bradley? Losing the 2 points is sickening This is pretty much secondary - My wagers were spot on - Usa $20/60 Usa 2-1 $1/12 Usa come from behind $1/14 Usa win both score $2/12 Usa and > 2 1/2 $10/50 so lose $34 instead of win 148 on buzzer beater.

There is no redhook bracket....we will likely play Belgium, and the winner that game will likely play Germany. Germany is on the other side of the bracket. The only way we would play them again is for the Cup or in the third place match. Have a look here ...(scroll down a bit) http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/index.html

The should have put Yedlin in sooner and subbed Bradley out. Bradley didn't make a decent play in the entire game for the second time. It is also very frustrating to see Dempsey left alone up front... It just isn't his strength.
Since the game didn't count, other than accepting a loss, I suppose it was smart to sit back and play defensively for the whole game. By keeping their points down we stand to gain position. One of those situations where it isn't about the battle, it is about the war. I sincerely like Klinsmann... That just didn't seem like the same team that just played Portugal (with the exception of Bradley) and in my opinion, we could have won.

Losers bracket is now called knockout round? A sprinter doesn't have to win all the heats to win the gold. He just has to qualify for the finals.

Bradley may not have done much, but he's one of the few players who keeps the other teams honest. Not a huge fan of his work rate but he has the skill to open up the other team. You can put someone out there who can run around real fast but just like my dog, they can't play soccer worth a schit.

Bradley- I'd rather see Alonso out there.

Yes sir. We have a world class team right in our own backyard. I get just as tired of hearing about Donovan as I do Bradley. Over and over how great they are. Blah. Blah. Blah. I will say I have a newly earned respect for Beckerman though. He has been very effective and consistent... and that from a Galaxy player. My favorite team to hate.

Bradley will ALWAYS be the guy who cost us the Portugal game. 50 years from now , they will still be talking about it. He needs to do something heroic to be forgiven. [img] http://i.imgur.com/oTpZhAE.jpg?1[/img]

MLS is a second rate league. Can't even win or compete for our version of the champions league. Soccer on field turf is hardly considered soccer. Put grass in the stadiums then we can watch the real thing.

Agreed, but the grass doesn't make the man and this is the league we have.

It's a good league and I think they've done it right this time. Every team has a good following and the game is getting better. But, not playing on grass is a huge drawback. It's not the same game, thru balls just roll out of bounds. Hopefully some day we'll have grass in the Clink.
