Not sure what you mean by “he has never done (fixed dine for ya, knew what you meant) anything”? Does that mean that he didn’t help the US win the World Cup? Look I’m not saying he’s the best player we’ve ever had, but he did a lot during his run. You should research it a bit before spewing nonsense. I’d suggest reading his Wikipedia page for a simple recap.
    Tell me how he made his team competitive in the international arena? That is what this team is and he was one of the key players in a key position. He is not a player capable of showing on the worlds stage. Its a good ole boys network and always has been and they pay the price for this policy. You reapbwhat you sow.

      You want a good coach to step away because their son/daughter is good?
      USMNT is a little different than hs.

        Look most of us aren’t Bradley fans due to last year but to say he wasn’t a good player or a nepotistic appointment is just crazy

        He was a strong player and captain and he certainly made his team better. He scored some big goals including most recently at Azteca

            The Bradley situation just a tad different than HS on many levels. A HS coach has way more power in his sphere of influence than the USMNT coach in his. If Michael truly sucked the players would have revolted. And think what you want of him, Michael earned his stripes. There are examples of coaches coaching their own kids and it works. But it usually only works if the kid just flat out better than everyone and the coach would be killed if he/she didn't play the kid. Even then, depending on the dynamic it can create a problem. Unfortunately, there are just too many examples where the kids are average or just another player than the coach just can't be objective or is not willing to be objective. Human nature. There is enough politics in HS soccer already..nepotism should be avoided at all costs.

              He is a good American player. Not a top player in the world. Not capable of competing on that stage. Sorry, just not a big fan of his athleticism or decision-making in that arena.

                Agree with your first sentence. I am not a big fan but also knows what he brings to the table in the past and near future. A good player who would have played for any US team regardless of his last name

                No one said he’s a top player in the world. US doesn’t have any “top” world players. Pulisic might get there some day but hes got a long way to go

                  He may not have been the best USMNT player that's true, but he wouldn't have played at a few HS in CT because the coach would play his own kid instead!

                          Not sure if they were talking about him, but probably. He is a little Napoleon
