    Really? That is an opinion, not a fact. Fact is he has been one of the best players in the history of the the game for the USA. Do a simple google.

    They didn't advance to the World Cup, but to me it was all the coaching. BA had a good player pool, but didn't include a number of top players, the roster he had, he didn't use those top players vs. T&T, but they didn't see the field. The system played was wrong and the players he used were wrong. BA got it all wrong. The players were set up to fail in qualifying. JK and BA failed US Soccer, not Bradley.

      His 1st touch is brutal. His 2nd touch too often is a tackle. When he tried to play through lines it ends up with the other team.

      All of that and he's a pompous dickhead who's teammates hate.

        Your first sentence is an opinion. Just because you read it on the internet, doesn’t make it true.
        Your second paragraph, you actually use the term ‘but to me’. Your argument of ‘Really, That is an opinion, not a fact’ is based solely on more opinions. Not exactly a valid or convincing argument.

            In May 2006, Bradley was brought into the 2006 World Cup training camp to train with the United States national team. While not a member of the World Cup squad or an alternate, Bradley was on the roster for the three send-off friendlies played before the tournament. He earned his first cap in the May 26 match against Venezuela as a substitute and his second cap for the United States in the following game against Latvia, again as a substitute.

            In late 2006 Bob Bradley, Michael's dad, was hired as head coach of the national team, and Michael established himself as a key player for the U.S. during his father's tenure. Bradley earned his first international start on March 28, 2007, during a friendly against Guatemala. He was a starter at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup and helped lead the U.S. to the title, though he was sent off for a late tackle in the semi-final against Canada. The next month, he started every match for the U.S. at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he scored the game-winning goal in the 107th minute against Uruguay in the round of 16.[34] He scored his first senior international goal on October 17, 2007, with a game-winner in the 87th minute against Switzerland in a friendly. Following these performances, Bradley was named U.S. Soccer's Young Athlete of the Year for 2007.[35] Bradley had a landmark performance for the national team in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio on February 11, 2009, scoring both goals in a 2–0 victory.[36][37]

            During the United States' surprise run to the final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, Bradley scored the second goal against Egypt off an assist from Landon Donovan, helping the Americans advance to the semi-final on goal differential after eventually beating the Egyptians 3–0.[38] He later started in the 2–0 upset victory against Spain in the semi-final, but was sent off late in the game. The resulting suspension kept Bradley out of the tournament final, which the U.S. ultimately lost 3–2 to Brazil.[39] Bradley was later reported to have confronted referee Jorge Larrionda following the match, resulting in Bradley receiving an additional three match suspension to be served during the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[40]

            Bradley was a key player for the U.S. in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, starting all four matches in central midfield. In the group stage, Bradley scored the equalizer in a comeback 2–2 draw against Slovenia.[41] He captained the national team for the first time in an August 10, 2010 friendly against Brazil in his birthplace of New Jersey. In the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup Bradley featured in each game in a new midfield partnership with Jermaine Jones, and scored the opening goal in the final against Mexico, though the United States went on to lose 4–2.

            Following the Gold Cup loss, Bob Bradley was fired as national team coach and replaced by Jürgen Klinsmann under whom Michael remained a key starter in midfield. He scored a goal on a half volley from 20 yards out in 5–1 friendly victory over Scotland in May 2012, and put in a late equalizer in a 2–2 draw with Russia later that year. He started each game for the U.S. at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

            After U.S. Soccer removed the captaincy from Clint Dempsey as punishment for a controversial incident with a referee before the 2015 Gold Cup, Klinsmann named Bradley the national team's new permanent captain.

              If he was above average, any of those pro teams would have kept him around for a second contract. Ya know, like all true, solid midfielders who are leaders are. You continue to accept mediocrity like this, and the US will continue to struggle making to the WC, let alone through group stages.
