He does have the power to say who his team plays and doesn't play, not the Media. And, on a second note, your going to tell me that Bradley had no choice of who he took to Copa America too, huh. It's not a macho thing, about pounding your chest and being manly as you are implying, no, it's about being a strong leader, who makes decisions to better this team and the sport in this country based on reality and knowing that you can't hide from adversity and instead play silly media games and try to fool people into perceiving that things are getting better and that they are actually contenders. Contenders seek out challenges, win or lose. Mexico hasn't beaten the US on their hometurf in a while, but they come and they play them strong, just like they played other teams at the copa america. And no, they are not at the same level as Argentina and Brazil, and they recognize it, but they are trying to be, rather than just backing out of competitions and claiming they deserved to be viewed as one because they win a few friendlies on their home turf. Kind of reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld..."I choose not to run!" Also, don't believe everything you hear from sports media, if only a portion of it were accurate Dani Alves would be playing at Chelsea right now and Kaka would be leading Real Madrid to a victory over Sevilla Sunday. These soccer guys love to play politics, and believe me Bradley is proving to be no different.

I don't think this is a manhood issue, and I really doubt that it was Bradley's decision. Um, as far as I know, the Azteca date failed because Telemundo and Univision were squabbling over rights.

He didn't take a real team to Copa America because he was afraid to be humiliated and opted for the easy excuse. The only significant victories this team has ever had has been against Mexico on their home turf, but when it comes down to playing at the Azteca where I guarantee you the atmosphere will not be as friendly, and where the Mexican team will play with 10 times more pride, they show their true colors again. These guys as far as I am concerned are all hype, part of the American media spin machine. You can bring Beckham and pretend that American's are ready for soccer, but until this national team man's up and gives people something to be proud of, no one will care. These guys pull another one of these pathetic displays and they will have lost all credibility. No more "mexico sucks and we are a top tier team" delusional b.s. anymore. Frankly, its un-American to be this weak. and for the record, not every Brazil team is the same, and don't expect them to bring any of their stars as most of them are knee deep in Champions League prelims and starting their club seasons, pre-season hype friendlies are over boys.
