Michael Bradley cost us two points and automatic advance into the next round with his idiotic play AGAIN. It was like he was trying to get the draw by turning it over to Portugal no less than three times in the final five minutes. The man is a liability all over again, and needs to stay the f*ck away from the first team.

From that position they really should have won. Portugal looked pretty toothless. Ronaldo's best attempt was a shot he lashed about 15 feet wide, and the man with stars shaved into his head spanked one over the bar. The USA defended well and coped with just about everything that was thrown at them. When Michael Bradley – who had earlier missed a brilliant chance to score – had the ball in midfield in the final minute of injury time, that should have been that.

However, he rather carelessly lost possession, the ball came to Ronaldo wide on the right, and as heartbreaking as the goal was, you can't ignore the quality of the cross or the finish from substitute Varela. A salutary lesson that mistakes at this level of football can cost you dearly, and instead of three points and qualification, it's one and an exciting, but tense, final round. If they draw against Germany they go through, but if Ghana beat Portugal and the game against Germany ends in defeat, they're out.

Hell, even arseblog agrees with me :rofl2:

u r absolutely right that turn over could cost the us the qualification to next round if they loose to germany, and if ghana can beat portugal which is possible remember ronaldo is not 100% healthy at this moment

brazil will win the world cup... it's all scripted, worse then wwe

About the US game, sucks about Bradley cause he really had a much better game than the first. And they were so consistent all game, everyone stepped up. Bradley just got lazy and it cost us the game. But is it a surprise to anyone that we have to fight to get a win again. Least were accustomed to it.

Bradley originated the play that cost us the game.
However, if you played soccer before, you should remember this rule "if you are going to lose the ball, do it in the middle of the field" In his case, for some reason, he wanted to bring the ball down, and keep possession, where all he had to do "knowing" the game was seconds away, was to kick that ball first time on the stands. It didn't happen.
Regardless, I still think he should start every game for the USA.

^^ or chase it down after he lost it. He quit running after it. He could of fouled after he lost it, but he just stopped. Anyways I agree he should start, but dude needs to play hungry like the rest of the boys.

Agreed that he played better, but he basically went into "we got this" mode after dempsey f*cked the ball in for the 2nd goal. It's ridiculous that an athlete at this level thinks he can get time off during the game.

He's one of the veterans of the team too, I don't understand how he makes such a rookie-esque mistake. Everybody else was running their hearts out and I just watched him trot back on "defense"

Freaking Suarez, there going to suspend him, there goes there hope for a World Cup. Well he wants to go to Barca, seems like there's talks going, Barca offered 60+ million + Alexis Sanchez for Suarez....

They have to suspend him at least 1 game... i wouldn't be surprised if he gets like a 3 game ban or something. this is the 3rd time he has done it... he is a good futbal player but his character is horrible. i don't think he will leave liverpool though, he likes it there.

I'm really starting to dislike Bradley... Were in though

Congrats team USA. Made it through to the knock out stages.

I'll take it, even if it was by relying on another games outcome... proved the majority of people wrong that we couldnt get out of the group of death

France V Germany is going! Frenchies are pushing a little harder now in the second half
