U.S. gets first-ever qualifying win at Guatemala; Bradley greeted at airport by pitchfork-wielding mob


Following the first-ever qualifying win by the U.S. at Guatemala, Bob Bradley arrived stateside this morning to an angry mob of pitchfork and torch-wielding fanatics calling for his head. MLS Rumors² held its nose and ventured into the BigSawker post-match thread so you don't have to, and we came away with some insight into what those angry villagers are thinking (remember folks, these are actual quotes from actual BigSawker posters):

"Bob Bradley needs to be punched in the face by every single USA player who put his time in..."

"Fire Bradley"

"our players, fans, and alumni deserve better than what Bradley gave us tonight"

"Bradley's system makes Donovan invisible"

"Bob Bradley needs to learn every game against any team in CONCACAF, becides for Mexico is a MUST WIN, and most of the time a very easy win if we play to our potential."

"Bob Bradley: What the hell? Do you seriously just want us to fail?"

"BRADLY MUST GET THE F OUT OF THERE NOW. HELL I'LL TAKE MIKE SORBER AS COACH OVER THIS FREAKIN IDIOT WE HAVE NOW. BRADLEY MUST GO I HOPE NEW COACH NEVER CALLS UP MIKE BRADLEY EVER AGAIN"

"bradley is too mediocre a coach to be at the helm of our national program."

"Bradley needs to go, we are better than this defensive and fearful approach and if we want to improve we need to take the game to other teams and not be scared of our opponents or it will be another three and out."

"the bottom line is that bob bradley can coach us to victories against mediocre teams with sub-par tactics and talent -- but when it comes to the big stage, we are consistently underwhelming."

"Bradley has shown a wonderful inability to learn from past lessons."

"I honestly cannot believe Bradley has ever watched a soccer match above the MLS level or that we play with the tactical sophistication of an NCAA team - by design! Its embarassing."

MMMMMMMMMMM, that's good hatin' right there. Have a cheeto for me, "lads."

U.S. Win Over Japan "Not Good Enough" For One U.S. Supporter


After waking up at 4:45 to watch the U.S. narrowly defeat Japan, 1-0, in a first-round Olympic match, self-described "die-hard Yank" Tim "Timothy" McSwiggan was furious at a performance he described as, "just not good enough."
It's pathetic, you know? Nowak pulled the same crap with DC back in 2004 - all defense, no flair...wtf, man! I pay, like, almost $80 a month for DirecTV, I spring for a 50-inch 1080p plasma, and this is the crap those lazy little beotches serve up? Jeebus H., man, a U-12 AYSO team could've done better.

I'm giving them one more chance, but if they don't show some fucking flair against the Netherlands, I...I don't know, man, I don't even fuckin' know!
When this blogger pointed out to Mr. McSwiggan that, in fact, the U.S. won, and currently leads their group, McSwiggan replied, "Jesus Christ, man, you just don't understand football." He then paused for a moment, and added, "By the way, if you're reading this, Donovan, I'm still waiting for my fucking refund for Germany."
