Michael Bradley has been one of the best American players for a long time now. When Bob was still the coach, everyone was convinced that Bradley was starting because of nepotism. Klinsmann was hired and Bradley grew into his role, and everyone shut the fuck up because they realized that he was starting because he's a really good player. Now that he's having a disappointing World Cup, everyone is pretending that he has sucked all along and have fallen back on the nepotism excuse even though it makes no fucking sense now that Klinsmann has been the coach for three years.
