That highlight reel did a good job of capturing how good of a match Bradley had. He's always been one of the best decision makers out of the back midfield on the US side. He has superior ball control and patience. It seems like so many US players freak out when they are in tight space, but he's always been composed. I didn't understand it early on when Klinsman wasn't playing him. He seemed a natural fit for his style of play. At least he's figured it out now.

It's translating to his club play as well. He was great against Juventus this weekend and he's the best player on a team that is way overachieving most predictions.

Neymar with some video game moves on a 70 yard run. His mul-hawk game is on point too.

While the 3/4 pitch track meet was sweet, I thought his flying dragon-punch fist pump stole the show.

Messi is just ridiculous

[JackofDiamonds]

The two chip-shots were painfully nonchalant.

Oh hey guys, I'm going to score now. Derp derp.

The nephew got invited back to April camp in Portland. Only gk from March camp invited. Looking at #1 or 2 gk for the USMNT U20 team this summer when they head to Ireland and Argentina.

Mr Saigon, can you please report back?


Did I mention he got to see Messi score 5 the other day?

Are the U-20s going to train with the Timbers or play the reserves? Is this a Nike thing?

The time has arrived.
