Is Coach Bradley out of his cotton pickin' mind ?

Question

How can he go and select Orozco for the world cup qualifier after that red card costs us any chance at an Olympic medal. At the same time Neven Subotic continues to set German football on it's ear ! When will Neven be called up to the big team ? How can he possibly justify choosing Orozco over Subotic ?

Answer 1

To answer your first question, yes, he's out of his mind. It's not like Orozco had a good tournament prior to his WWE elbow, so I have no idea what would warrant his inclusion on ANY national team side.

But then, he keeps calling up the Hedjuk's and Eddie Lewis' of the world, too, so who knows what he's thinking beyond: "My son must play every game".

But as for Subotic, that is the payers choice. Subotic was invited into camp this year and told the team no and that he wasn't ready to make a decision on which country to commit to. I get the feeling he doesn't like Bradley, which is hardly surprising and puts him in good company.

Answer 2

I agree with you about Orozco...In regards to Neven Subotic Bradley has and continues trying to get him playing for the US National Team.  Subotic hasn't decided who he will play for in regards to Men's National Teams.  FIFA has a rule that once a players plays for a Men's National team they are not allowed to switch to another.  I read an article that Subotic prefers to play for Germany (where he lived as a young boy after his family fled its homeland).  Subotic has 4 options in regards to National Teams: USA, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.

Answer 3

Orozco would be off my team, that's for sheez-y.  

Congrats to the young and talented team from your adopted country, Belgique!

Answer 4

Orozco? Subotic? Where are these guys from? USA? Indonesia probably... or maybe Alaska where they are living with their young pregenant gf!  

Answer 5

orozco has potential.that play didn't deserve a red card by any means.that said I agree that neven is too good to not be called in but I also heard neven may not want to play for us.he is eligible to play for perhaps Germany so it seems he is holding out and waiting for a a call by Germany.if Germany never comes to call him then he will probably accept the US call.neven has no real loyalty.he is an opportunist.

just waiting for the best suitor to come along.

orozco took a big risk in playing for the US.he is virtually hated now in Mexico.he started all the games in san luis last year until he played for the US.he has now basically been thrown out the squad and doesnt even play with the first team anymore.

they are messing with him in Mexico because Mexicans hate the US and anyone who gives loyalty to it.I think bob bradley is doing this because he believes in "taking care of our own".michael is one of our boys and his career in the Mexican league is destroyed because of the  prejudice that Mexican fans and teams feel towards Americans.

bradley I believe wants to help get michael in the spotlight so that different clubs in europe or even the MLS can take notice.

orozco has balls to make a decision like the one he made to play for the US.he is loyal.he should be rewarded.

not punished.

Answer 6

Not to mention picking Eddie Johnson (just loaned out to Cardiff City) over Jozy Altidore and Kenny Cooper.  And where's Freddy Adu?  We have the players who can actually be world class----but why does he not select them, or give them only limitted playing time?????
