No Cooper. No Adu. No Altidore. Really? To the disappointment of many
American fans (myself included), Bob Bradley continues to call up players like Brian Ching, Eddie
Johnson, Frankie Hejduk, and Eddie Lewis over younger players. The most common excuse given
by supporters of Bradley's strategy is the experience argument.
I have to hand it to Bob Bradley and the U.S. National Team, they really came through and took care
of business with the 3-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago. We even got to see a goal from Brian Ching
so you know it was a terrific night. Clint Dempsey got his 4th goal in 4 matches. The defense
looked really solid and Michael Bradley took his European success and showed what the hype was all
about with a nice goal.
The Spanish press isn't easy to please, but they seem to like what they see so far from Jozy
Altidore. Myself, I'd have liked for him to score, but I was actually happier to see his passing
touch. Nothing increases popularity with teammates more than dishing off sweet assists, even if the
other players are so surprised to get the ball that they hash up the shot.
