    Nelson vs snowfx on the topic of the USMNT and its prospects might be the mismatch of the century.

    not sure how much you want Bradley to do in terms of development when he only has a week of practices leading up to a match

    90+% of player development has to happen on the club level especially when the USMNT has a couple weeks of practices and a handful of games each year.

    That's what I mean. Sorry to Fx, I misread his post last night. Thought he said managers do have everything to do with player dev.

    this. National teams are 'selecciones' ...selection teams. Managers encourage players to get first-team football, but their responsibility is to select the best squad and get the most out of it in a short amount of time every few months.

    I'm not a Bradley fan but to blame him for lack of player development is foolish.

    The question to Gulati on Tuesday was simple and straightforward: Will Bob Bradley remain coach of the U.S. national team?

    His answer (in an email response) was, “We’ll have something to say later this week.”

    If I was Sunil I would give the job to Jurgen give him free reign, let him put in his system, and coach 1 or 2 WC cycles. After that our player development should be improved then give the job to a good coach like Jason Kreis.

    TBH I would expect Kreis to get offered the job under the same conditions that Bradley currently works under, but certainly Kreis is a better coach

    Fucking Sven

    I dont know why yall are getting your hopes up, this is USSF we are talking about here. It is more likely that Sunil will announce Bradley is getting a raise/extension then that Bob is gone.

    Report: Four more unnamed Mexican players tested positive for clenbuterol


    By FRANCO PANIZO

    If there wasn't already enough of a cloud surrounding Mexico and its players' use of clenbuterol, now comes word that more of the players on the Gold Cup-winning team reportedly tested positive for the banned substance.

    According to Mexican outlet Medio Tiempo, FIFA Medical Director Jiri Dvorak announced Friday that four more of the 14 Mexicans that took the anti-doping test prior to the tournament have tested positive, bringing the total to nine players. The identities of the additional players who tested positive are unknown, and the Mexican federation does not plan to disclose that information on the basis that the players did not intentionally dope.

    FMF President Justino Compean believes that to be the case, because the levels of the positive test from the four additional players were lower than those of the first five and low enough that they do not suggest doping.

    The Mexican federation also thinks that the results of the four additional players support the case of the original five who blamed the failed tests on tainted meat and chicken.

    The confirmation that more players tested for the substance comes about a week after FIFA president Sepp Blatter had acknowledged that fact in an interview conducted in Spanish.

    The five original players to originally test positive were Guillermo Ochoa, Sinha, Christian Bermudez, Edgar Duenas and Francisco Rodríguez. Those players were removed and replaced from Mexico's Gold Cup team.
