Guys I just uploaded a really good USA vs Mexico rivalry video but it got blocked for copyright. Hopefully one day KZbin will fix their shitty copyright policy so y’all can see it Update: It’s up but it’s blocked in a lot of countries

[@Tumford]

Say what you want about Michael Bradley, but when scored, it was magical

[@SW.Productions]

Exactly! People gave him such a hard time but he had many good goals and assists

[@randonwilston]

People were overly judgmental of him and we might have kept him and that whole class around a little too long but that isn’t his fault he always worked in the midfield and made magic

[@patrick4662]

Forreal so many wonder-strikes

[@jasonmcwhirter7093]

Bradley was a great central and attacking midfielder. When we started putting him in the defensive midfielder role he would occasionally have a mental lapse and lose the ball or make a bad pass that put us in danger, or not realize an opponent was behind him and it would cost us big time. I still to this day don't understand why we forced him into that role when he was such a great attacking midfielder!

[@markwilson5967]

He only scores bangers!!!!!

[@travisanderson1284]

Lando v Algeria... was by far the most impactful in my life. I cried like a baby

[@BABYDOLPHIN22]

That Jermain Jones goal 🫡 goddamn I remember running around my house screaming what a goal 😂😂

[@Bhint320610]

We took micheal Bradley for granted. He wasn’t perfect but he had moments!

[@elijerrr]

I’ll never forget his Mexico goal for sure. Definitely moments but wasn’t the big man like we would’ve needed. Hoping players like pulisic are to continue on a legacy like we used to have with Donovan and Dempsey.

[@ts2k2000]

Even in the comments on this video it's still apparent most US fans don't understand Bradley. People compare him to Donovan or Dempsey but they are different types of players, flat out. Bradley was a central midfielder and no other US player in the 21st century has come close to being able to regulate a game like he was able to at times. It's very hard to be a top team unless you have 2 or 3 people in a generation like that. Historically we have 0 or maybe 1. It doesn't matter if you have 5 good wings/forwards/etc., without controlling midfield you'll just be hit or miss based on tactics, matchup, and/or luck

[@jessehamilton9758]

Julian Green, man. Wunderkind, and sad that he never really lived up to that.

[@npugh1985]

Had the same thoughts…so much hype and I completely forgot about him

[@jasonmcwhirter7093]

As a U.S. soccer fan I still feel cheated that poor Stuart Holden had those ACL tears. He was our best holding/center/creative midfielder since Donavan up until MMA now. Think about what we missed out on with a Holden, Bradley, Dempsey midfield in those lean years!

Wish they had included Tim Howard’s outlet pass that started the rush on the Donovan goal against Algeria

[@epicurhyss4014]

Didn't expect Bradley to feature so heavily in this. In recent times I've heard a lot of derision toward him, probably because he was a central part of the team which failed to qualify for the WC. Though he may have been past his prime and we had to stick with him because we failed to develop any talent to fill his role, there are many triumphant moments to remember. Same with Altidore though I feel his contributions to the USMNT are generally accorded more respect.

Very fun clips. I would include both goals scored against Slovenia in the 2010 World Cup to come back from 0-2. Donovan roofs a shot, and then Bradley volleys a ball straight on that I don't know how he keeps down under the bar.

[@kvn08cosmo]

And then, if I’m not mistaken, a quick third goal that was called back. And we are still awaiting the referees decision as to why he called it off.

Great Compilation, thanks for putting it together. A little walk down memory lane. Bradley and Clint scored bangers.

[@pstratos7]

Thank you sir, absolute banger of a video

[@barryallen8887]

Michael Bradley was an elite player for the USA as well as Dempsey, Fabian Johnson, Timothy Chandler, Donovan and Altidore. Best players that we had and made the most of it. Now with a full roster in europe. Our future looks bright

[@arturoherrera1386]

Love this video. Great job! I would add Charlie Davies scoring in Azteca circa 2009 as an honorable mention but great job nonetheless!

[@ColumbiaB]

I was thinking of exactly that Davies goal. There are few greater losses to the U.S. program in its history, than that Davies was so grievously injured in that car crash, and he was never able to recover from it fully.

Criminal that wasn’t included

[@bradmaytum5309]

Julian Green. Wow - where has he gone?? He was the 'next big thing' for about 6 months...

[@coleestilette6772]

Greuther Fürth. He's basically been a huge part of the team when their in the second division in Germany, and not so much when they are in the bundesliga. Not saying he elevates the team, but it's kind of wild he's received no callups the last few years when we've played dueling 8s and he offers somewhat of a different skillset than a lot of the guys we play there. I was actually disappointed he didn't get a gold cup shout, especially when we're calling in Roldan, sonora, etc.

[@manuelito7548]

He’s roommates with Freddy Adu…

[@chrisbeach6043]

Those 2017 kits @ :59 were tasty.

[@lanineko303]

Probably one of the best kits made in the 10s for america

[@elijerrr]

Some are extremely memorable forever in my mind until the day I die, but it’s great see a compilation of some awesome strikes. The World Cup ones were by far my favorites. I was so angry when we didn’t qualify, and it’s nice to have finally made it into the last one, but I expect there to be some extremely amazing future games for our men’s team. The women are a bit underwhelming nowadays.

[@dentonyoung4314]

Goes to prove my contention that if you have the ability to put the ball on frame, there's no such thing as a bad shot. Either the goalie has to make a save or you score. I think sometimes teams try to get too creative and set up the perfect shot from 1 meter out. You're at the edge of the box, you have a shooting lane, put it on target and see what happens.

[@higryjh]

im from south america and the top 3 i saw in my life were Donovan, Dempsey and Bradley, Pulisic is not even close for now.

[@SW.Productions]

Pulisic is already better than Bradley and Howard is top 3 along with Dempsey and Donovan

[@scottselin9336]

You could make a case that Bradley should have appeared twice more for his goals against Scotland and Slovenia in the World Cup. He scored a lot of big goals in big games.

[@IndyJones31]

Around 4:55 did the keeper just get angry and try to slide tackle the other US player after the goal?

Yep

I'm 23 years old and it will be a darn shame if USA won't win a world cup in my lifetime

[@coleestilette6772]

Man, I know people love to pile on Bradley and Altidore, but they were really hard done by Jozy's horrible injury luck and the lost generation. Jozy should have broken the US scoring record but his body fell apart. Also, still insane Donovan was not in the 2014 world cup when he had 7 goals and 8 assists literally the year before.
