Bradley Must Bolster Arena's Model for Success

Submitted by Roman Kent, Jun 26, 2007 18:50

Bruce Arena's model for success didn't take him as far as it could. He deviated from the model by playing scared and packing it in with a 4-5-1. If he'd played the world cup straight up and stuck with his model as Mr Bradley is doing, he probably would still be our coach.
