		<description>Bradley the Elder got the job done. There is really not much more work to do for the US unless they/we luck into a draw that might allow them to advance to the quarters. I don&#039;t think Bradley is a WC winning coach, but neither is this team. Bradley is not holding them back for 2010. Out in the group stage or getting thwacked by one of the big boys in the round of 16 is about the current level of the USMNT, innit?

My main criticism is that his conservatism (in selection and formation) keeps the side from developing attacking players that might actually scare the opposition.  Bradley&#039;s job is to make it to SA in 2010, and not have the team be better in 2014 - so maybe I expect too much. Davies and Altidore and Torres and possibly even (gulp) Adu need to play as much as possible, or be conclusively ruled out as not good enough, in my opinion. I want the US to actually &lt;b&gt;BE&lt;/b&gt; better and not just grind out better results. We have gone as far as that strategy can take us.</description>
