[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2473990, member: 12852"] People seem to be missing that we didn't fail to qualify for the World Cup b/c we lack the talent. In spite of the obvious weakness of American soccer relative to the world powers in the sport, we have more than enough talent to qualify for the World Cup every single time out of our region. The same way UT should make a bowl game every year with all of their talent. US Soccer has been let down by coaching to an extent, but moreso by a weak culture in the federation and dearth of leadership in the team itself. The more I think about it the more I believe Michael Bradley is one of the weaker captains I've seen in any sport at any level. He was made captain because his work rate on the pitch was superlative and he seemed like a natural lead-by-example type of guy. But in all his years with the armband I haven't felt like he's inspired anyone to follow him. A good captain would not have allowed last night to happen. There was also a Gold Cup (can't remember the year) that we barely showed up and got embarrassed in a year we should have won. He can't lead [ Finebaum ] down a toilet, IMO, and I think he got even more toxic for the team when his dad was canned for Jurgen. [/QUOTE]
