Newcastle Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Posted June 3, 2010 if he plays against Australia on Saturday Bradley will become the Dumbest Coach alive!
bullets13 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 if he's fine, i'd like to see him play to build some chemistry up top... but if he's anything less than 100%, i'm with you newcastle. let him rest.
Guest ECBucFan Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 With Ivory Coast's Drogba, Englands Fertinand, and Italy's Pirlo either all injured or out, the US has advantages--unless Altidore goes down. :o Hope hes OK! http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/soc/wc/7034857.htmlIts looking like he might be alright! 8)
ForeverADog Posted June 5, 2010 Report Posted June 5, 2010 I dont see Jozy missing the England game for the world... he should be fine... And great showing against Australia today. Wish we cleared the ball a little better than we did however.
