Probably did not bother to ride home with the CIV team. Tell me he really did not take the 2 million sterling--from a nation where the average person is probably lucky to get 2 quid a month---for only 3 months of coaching them to 1 win, 2 draws and a loss! Where is the shame?

The ones I spoke with were hoping for a South Korea victory in order to avoid a Uruguay match. Of course, that's not an issue any longer.

That's like complaining that the prostitutes never stay around for cuddling after the business transaction was done. > Tell me he really did not take the 2 million sterling--from a nation > where the average person is probably lucky to get 2 quid a month---for > only 3 months of coaching them to 1 win, 2 draws and a loss!

That must be the only reason why he started the brainless Ricardo Clark whose idiotic giveway gifted Boateng both the ball and running lane, and we know what happened after that. Afterwards, an obviously unnerved Clark was a red card waiting to happen. The Ghanaians did not streamroll the US midfield, they passed through them. As it stands, Bradley's inclusion of Clark into the starting lineup was a horrible, horrible tactical decision and doomed the US to their fate.
