Yes, that part. You ":P" but I am completely serious.
Great move regardless of how it works out. Bradley was done and the team had reached their ceiling with him. They needed to bring in a coach who was a great player and who could actually teach and garner respect. Hopefully the tight leash that American coaches have had on our boys will be loosened and they begin to learn how to play true soccer.

I :P to everything tbh :P
The team needs fixing... I think their peek was reached around 07... and certain aspects of it have began to crumble, unless they find young guys ready to step up .. it's going to be a long couple of years for him.. and the fans.
We have guys capable of stepping up but they just need a better system.
@ Robbie Rogers in that article. Who wrote it, Robbie's mother? Dude's not getting another NT callup.

Bet you he get's more callups under Jurgen than Buddle will.
Jonathan Spector, not good enough to play for Bob Bradley in a Gold Cup tournament, just signed a 2-year deal with Birmingham.
Jonathan Bornstein still sits in a Mexican Cantina waiting for Tigres to add him to a game-day 18-man roster.
Muser, not sure how much you know about Spector. I like him, but more as a mid than a defender. He had some success with West Ham playing in the midfield last season.

That kid is already better than Findley. lol
I'll take that bet
Can the Galaxy trade father for son please? Anything to get JPA off the field. You know its sad when I pray for the Galaxy to end up with Kenny Cooper.
Don't think Jurgen sees much use for a guy with pretty much no shot at being a contributor in Brazil (Buddle). Rodgers doesn't have much of a shot either, but probably moreso than Buddle, only because he is young and could (theoretically) turn things around.
Then again, the relative weakness of both our wings and forwards could give both of these putzes a shot. tbh I think the best wing options we have for depth are wingbacks like Chandler, Spector and Lichaj.
Manny, you really are gonna hate the Jurgen era:

Roster vs. Mexico comes out tomorrow. I predict a bunch of dudes we aren't very familiar with.
With the little depth we have i'm really happy with the signing, especially as it was on a free transfer.
Roster to be released at 1pm on ussoccer today. According to twitter, Adu, Bill Hamid and Chandler have already been leaked and are to be on the roster.
I predict Manny will be rather unhappy with this roster.
Hoping we see the name Danny Williams. Basically the LB version of Chandler from reports. Don't know if he has his passport though (another German born to a US serviceman)
Jurgen is perfectly suited to nag all potential German American footballers....namely Fabian Hürzeler, Daniel Williams and Fabian Johnson
Roster released.

edit: beattt
The Bornstein era is DONE!
No Dempsey or Jozy probably because of club commitments or concerns.
I love all the new additions though. It looks like Castillo/Pearce/maybe Orozco will compete for the left back spot for now. Shea and Beckerman are completely deserving because of their form. Good to see Clark and Beasley back. Clark will be phased out when Holden gets completely healthy. Jose Torres was predictable for me.
