I gave you context pages ago, man. You're just utterly clueless here, a baffling opinion.

You can cherry pick any stats you like to prove your point. Would it make any difference to your opinion if I posted his tackling %age? Goal scoring ratio? Discipline record? Probably not. On the whole he has some decent attributes. He's a professional footballer. But he's not "world class," he's not going to be the match winner, he's not even the difference between winning and losing most weeks. He's tidy. He's professional. He'll do as he's told. I like to see more in a player. You mean like yesterday? Altidore might have an opinion on the matter. Look who created 2/4 with superb passes, him and Altidore both did it. And he's done it for the US many times. How is a fucking passing percentage cherry picking a stat? That's as important as it gets, I've already questioned your opinions without stats anyway.

Dude had the third best passing percentage in the Serie A last season and he would be Bigi's backup

You really think that? I think the current Roma team (challenging for Europa League) is pretty much the perfect level for him.

Played like two cup games in his short spell. P.S. Far, far better than Tiote. And a much better passer, just look at his passing from yesterday.

I just wholeheartedly disagree with you in about every way. I wouldn't defend any other American player like this, I'm only defending him because he's genuinely a quality midfielder that has only gotten better since his move to Italy. He's faced unfair criticism since he's been with the national team, but I didn't think it carried over to after he proved himself. There's absolutely no way Mix is more "cultured" than him, he's promising and clever going forward, but other than dribbling ability and technique he has nothing else on Bradley at the minute. Like I said, you're going to need video evidence to back up these claims, there's a reason Rudi Garcia has spoken incredibly highly of him lately.

Watching the 7-3 since NBC aired it last night. He was so goddamn good that game, one of the best individual performances we saw, which I guess isn't saying much. He really needs to be playing a significant role this season.

Well I did grow up with the game, so your point does not stand. It's not like he has an excellent first touch or incredible pace, but his ability at both of those and easily good enough for his role. I'm going to need video evidence of all of your criticisms if I'm ever going to take something you say seriously again, because that is baffling.

Can't believe how little he played this preseason. Good move.

Amazing

The only response. I just can't believe you see either of those things in him.

holy shit You sure James didn't get your password?

Well done

What the hell is this???

:frantic: Why the fuck did he sign for Sunderland?

ArJo :thup:

No, it's because televisions now aren't made for SD. Also, most channels (at least over here) don't give a shit about the SD feed and don't upgrade it

I think the answer for Germany is somewhere in the middle. Flip's right in that Mertesacker and Schmelzer aren't that great, but they should be good enough to not let up 3 against Paraguay. Doubt 4-3-3 helps very much.

And he scores Bradley is just so far ahead of any midfielder we've developed, except maybe Reyna. P.S. Fuck you other Americans for having jobs or whatever is keeping you away from the internet.

Walcott's really come along in the last season, at least you have that.

I really can't believe anyone from the "Golden Generation" is still with the team, barring Ashley Cole.

Eddie Johnson so out of his depth here, Evans doing okay though. For the most part we don't look prepared for this, and ref letting physical play go doesn't help.

Why shouldn't it. He is a good player. We should have someone better, but he's a good player and by no means a weakness within that Xl. This. He has his uses, but should not be a consistent starter for England like he is. At least until he starts scoring goals.

Eddie Johnson tried to play it out of the 18, good news is he'll never start in a full squad.
