I’m not sure which was more embarrassing, the way Bradley screwed up the World Cup, or the way Bradley screwed up the Gold Cup.

Not totally sold on the mantra that Bradley screwed up the Gold Cup. I mean you had Cherundolo go out due to injury. The entire Gold Cup, he was the one making the weak side runs, playing very well offensively and shutting things down defensively. That's a big shoe to fill with a sub.

The substitution of the dreadful Jonathan Bornstein in the Gold Cup and moving Lichaj at the same time was just ugly. The team’s play throughout the tournament was subpar.

Meanwhile, in the World Cup Bradley fielded teams that were continually either unready to play or populated by people who had no business being on the park such as Ricardo Clark and Robbie Findley.

Selections like those two, and the inclusion of Bornstein on the Gold Cup roster in the first place, go straight to competence in my mind.

I’d have dismissed Bradley after the World Cup, frankly, on the basis of his personnel decisions alone. The only problem is that Sunil Gulati gets to replace him.
