by George Caulkin (Result | London Times - March 3)
Bob Bradley, the US head coach, has been a regular visitor to Manchester United’s training ground in recent months, when he has watched England stalwarts such as Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand at close quarters.

With 7 months before the beginning of Anglo–American hostilities at the Battle of Rustenburg, I’m hoping Coach Bob Bradley borrows a page from General George Washington’s successful strategy for winning the Revolutionary War: don’t over–commit in any part of the battlefield, strategically conceding the meaningless possession game, and wait to strike and take advantage when you can. If he does, maybe another 6-5 victory awaits. more details | go to article
