We beat Spain. That's good. I am happy.
We have played well and also (finally) gotten a little luck the last two games.
But we should play like that every game. Even great teams have bad games (like, uh, Spain today). But we have been consistently awful for a while. We should have played like this against El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Honduras. We didn't.
Bradley doesn't get the right personnel on the field often enough and simply doesn't have us playing to our potential. Obviously, the guy will keep his job for a while. But unless the kind of organization & effort we saw against Egypt and Spain becomes the consistent level during the Gold Cup and qualifying, Bradley's poor results and mystifying player choices and tactics merit keeping him on the hot seat.
