STARTERS - BOB BRADLEY IS OUT
Bob Bradley was fired today as head coach of the USA national team. The federation has stated that they will have another announcement tomorrow. Don't know if that will be about a new coach, or an interim, or etc etc etc.
We here at du Nord are big fans of coach Bradley and want to thank him for all his hard work, and wish him all the best in his next endeavor. Rock on Bob.
The heavy rumors tonight say Jurgen Klinsman will be named the new head coach.
Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated with his thoughts.
