did bradley seriously just score from the corner my god
michael bradley off of a fucking corner
Bradley looking much more like his early season form last year...
That nerve issue in his foot was bothering him all season, I think.
jozy altidore off at the half because of hamstring soreness... holy shit injuries are scary at this point
Jozy Altidore subbed at halftime as a precaution due to hamstring soreness per ESPN. #USAvPAN
yeah, hopefully nothing serious lol
Jermaine is showing his age. Also, watch Dempsey's hammy.. Looked like he strained it during that last rush. #USAvPAN
not just altidore maybe
FT 0-0 in scrimmage vs Orlando City. That's not a bad outcome considering OCSC used a lot of starters in the first half.
If more than one player gets injured in this usa friendly might actually be some truth to the fact that the German trains them too hard in these camps he calls.
Altidore getting injured is the exact reason I don't want to either him or Bradley playing in that early season non fifa date friendly against Mex.
Nice to see our B team with a few A team players can hold Orlando's starting line up.
I guess the main disadvantage to having US internationals on your MLS team is all this non-FIFA friendly bullshit.
Cheyrou isn't a winger. A diamond 4-4-2 would make more sense.
Bendik
Crevalle - Zavaleta - Perquis - Morgan
Cheyrou
Warner
Findley - Osorio - Chapman
Moore
Wonder if Vanney was trying a 4-1-4-1, which is a formation I could see us using at times this year.
Bendik
Bloom-Perquis-Caldwell-Morrow
Cheyrou
Bradley
Findley-Giovinco-Osorio
Altidore

"Michael Bradley wouldn't elaborate on how bad injury was last year, but sounds like he played through pain & is healthy now (after surgery)."
I've suspected this for a while now. There was a clear difference between Bradley's first 4-5 games last year and his WC + his return to the team. He had that procedure done on his foot prior to the WC, but it must not have worked, or he didn't get enough of a chance to recover after it. Bradley looked very good against Panama today. A return to the player he really is would do wonders for our midfield.
Watched the highlights of the US-Panama game. Bradley looked fantastic, and Altidore was very involved in the attack prior to subbing off at the half.
I would have expected nothing less from the General, he is one who gives it all to club and country and will be great to see with both the Reds this season and for the USMNT at the Gold Cup. It is going to be exciting times.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Michael Bradley was not the same player after game 5 of last season. You knew that there had to be something wrong physically.
the general refuses to make excuses.
great leader

Citeh (NY version) played St. Mirren tonight (Scot time) and the whole game is on mlssoccer.com, and they haven't posted the score. It says live but it's an archive.
