BULLS ABROAD: Michael Bradley shines again . . . and more . . .

By: Dave Martinez | November 12th, 2007

Welcome to the first installment of Bulls Abroad. This segment will feature achievements by Metro Grads throughout the world, highlighted usually by one individual.

And who better to highlight than Michael Bradley.

CLUTCH GOAL KEEPS HEEVENVEEN IN IT

Bradley is making everyone look bad. Down a man after a red card, Bradley does what he does best – stay cool under pressure, and play opportunistically. Of course, once again, he was in the right place at the right time . . . and he nets the winner for his club.

CHECK IT OUT HERE! RIGHT OFF THE TEAMS SITE!

This was his fourth goal all time with the club, second in as many months.

His play of late is really doing alot to secure his position with the USMNT. Plus, I think he sorta knows the coach. Dont quote me on that though.

HOWARD HOLDS THE FORT, 1-1 tie with CHELSEA

For anyone who watched this game, I have to say, my highlight was watching our boy Timmy turn away a Lampard shot just shy of the post. He stood on his head, taking ten shots on target, 16 overall.

With the tie, Everton stays ninth in the top ten, headed by Howards heroics (say that 5 times fast)

IN OTHER NEWS . . . . .

Our boy, who is two times better than a #10, Mr. Amado Guevara, has been on a nice tear down South, with 4 goals the past three weeks. Think anyone up north is taking notice?

Ive been a proponent of his for a while. But then again, if DC signs Veron, and Gomez becomes available . . . . that would be interesting. Amado v. Gomez. Should be one hell of a debate.

  I’ve been watching some of Guevara’s games on GolTV and he has not impressed me at all. He seems lazy out there, and usually, after his goal(s), he starts doing more, but he doesn’t see much of the ball, and when he does, he slows down the play. but of course, those four goals speak volumes. I believe two of them were off FKs though.

  He looks about thirteen in that picture. Maybe fourteen. Tops.

  But I agree that he is an impressive player. The future of US Soccer, right there.

  Hey guys.

  First off JG, even if they were off set plays, which I dont know one way or the other, then thats two more set plays than what Ive seen come out of the swamp this year!

  But I am a Guevara apologist. So whatever. =)

  And I couldnt agree more about Bradley Laurie. Definitely a major cog in our Soccer engine.

  Congrats on Gullit by the way. Hes bringing sexy back, you know . . .

  Michael Bradley is the best player on the USMNT, hands down. He is so strong in the middle and plays aggressively. I wish he was playing against Mexico on the 6th, but I think dad will let him stay up north since his team is coming close to overtaking 1st place. I can’t wait to see where he lands after this season. I’m guessing EPL, but I wouldn’t rule out Germany, Spain or Italy. Go Michael! Go USA!
