| Bob Bradley fired as coach of USMNT |
|
http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2011/07/bradley-fired-as-usa-coach.htmlI have a dream where Sunil Gulati shocks the world and hires Diego Maradona. But, it's probably someone like Klinsmann. Still, it was time for Bunker Bob to go.

Maradona. I can just imagine the press conferences. LOL. "...suck it and just keep sucking it." - Diego Maradona

| 4. I appreciate what Bradley's done... |
|
but, like you say, Bunker Bob is holding the team back at this point.

| 10. They've dropped in rankings from like 13 to 24 |
|
And haven't played well along the way.

| 12. That's the worst in years. |
|
I think part of it is the 2007 Gold Cup win coming out of their stats. But really, they haven't played well against good teams since 2009.

| 13. Credit where it's due, the 2009 Confederations Cup was a good run |
|
It's all been downhill from there, though.

| 3. It is time for a change, but not for a dunk tank sitter like Maradona. |

| 9. 99% sure it's gonna be Klinsmann |

Per Grant Wahl on twitter: US Soccer insider: "You're not going to be surprised" by identity of new coach.

| 14. I knew they were going to fire the coach |
|
I just didn't expect it would be the MEN'S coach! I mean, choking in the Gold Cup sucks, but it hardly compares to Pearl Harbor v2.0. :grr: :banghead: :nuke:
