Bradley Tanks

“The reality is that it was all there for us and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.”
US captain Michael Bradley

Speak for yourself, Cap’n America.  As far as I’m concerned, Team USA’s elimination from 2018 World Cup qualification is cosmic payback for Bradley’s role in sabotaging former coach Jurgen Klinsmann during the 2016 Copa De Oro and last year’s early World Cup qualification stages.  Anyone who watched those matches without rose-colored glasses would have seen that Bradley did his best to give those games away, and succeeded.  Was he –is he– trying to win back the head coach’s job for daddy Bob Bradley?

Can Team USA hope to win when its “leader” is working for the other side to feather his own nest?  In case you’re wondering, that’s a metaphorical question.
