Coach Bradley with a **** performance and he's the sole reason we're out. Bad starting lineup, which caused him to make a sub after 30 ******* minutes, then he kind of redeemed himself with Feilhaber and the 4-5-1/4-1-4-1, but then Herculez Gomez was just an inexcusable substitution in my opinion. The thing that's frustrated me more than anything else for the USA this World Cup is how we constantly play high long balls all the time, and there's seemingly no other option after about the 60th minute. We completely resort to the long balls, if we even last until the 60th. So, knowing that, why the **** do you put Herculez Gomez, a Michael Owen-type poacher who probably stands 5'5'' in lifts, in as the lone striker? ******* retarded. Buddle rotted on the bench all Tournament.
We probably played 15-25 long balls in extra time, I'm not sure we won a single one. With Altidore we probably kept possession on 30-50%.
