U.S. captain Michael Bradley laments his side’s shortcomings against Trinidad and Tobago and failure to advance to Russia 2018.
United States captain Michael Bradley said no single result led to the national team’s failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, while believing he and his teammates “have nobody to blame but ourselves.”
Tuesday night’s 2-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago left the Americans outside of the qualifying positions in the final CONCACAF Hexagonal round by a single point after 10 games.

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — Michael Bradley realizes the huge distinction between home games and road matches in international soccer, and says Tuesday’s away match against Honduras underscores that reality.

Michael Bradley gives his impressions of Christian Pulisic and the keys to consistency ahead of the World Cup Qualifiers.

Bruce Arena says he’s confident all 26 U.S. players in his latest squad can make an impact against Costa Rica and Honduras.
Bradley is still one of the most important players for the U.S. and they need him more than ever.
Ricardo Clark still remembers the first time he saw Michael Bradley play. It was 2003, during Clark’s rookie campaign with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. Bradley wasn’t anything close to the star he has become. He wasn’t even a professional — just a 17-year-old kid trying to show he could hang with some of Major League Soccer’s finest. Bradley didn’t blink.
“He jumped into one of our training sessions,” said Clark during a recent phone conversation. “He was very young at the time but…
After its Gold Cup final win over Jamaica, Bruce Arena understands his team is far from a finished product.
Wednesday’s victory in the Gold Cup final over Jamaica capped off a fruitful seven months for the U.S. men’s national team. Since taking over as manager, Bruce Arena has gone 14 games unbeaten, revived the Americans’ World Cup effort and proven to be precisely what was hoped for when he was hired: a safe pair of hands to stabilize a program that threatened to go off the rails.
But the job is far from done. As Arena himself said in the wake of Wednesday’s win, “We’re getting better; we need to…

Positives
The Americans used their talent advantage to apply significant pressure to Jamaica all night and found the goals they needed to win. While it wasn’t comprehensive, there’s no reason to think this wasn’t a deserved victory for a better team. Bruce Arena’s squad kept up its energy when Jamaica leveled the game and threatened to…
Bruce Arena and members of the U.S. are well aware of the threat Jamaica pose ahead of the Gold Cup final.
SANTA CLARA — The Gold Cup hasn’t necessarily been kind to Michael Bradley.
In 2007, he was sent off in the semifinal win over Canada, and thus wasn’t on the field for the 2-1 victory over Mexico in the final. In the 2011 final, he was on the losing end of a bitter 4-2 defeat to Mexico at the Rose Bowl.
On Wednesday, Bradley will have a chance to put that right as he captains the U.S. against Jamaica in the 2017 Gold Cup final. But Bradley insists that he’s not haunted by what happened in the…

ESPN’s Herculez Gomez discusses what positives the U.S. can take moving forward after the Gold Cup.
The United States has announced its roster changes for the knockout stages of the 2017 Gold Cup, and as predicted, manager Bruce Arena has added some heavy reinforcements with most of the additions having extensive international experience.
“We have added some experienced players to the roster that can help us in the knockout round of the Gold Cup,” Arena said on Sunday. “The players leaving all made a good impression, and I’m optimistic for their future with the national team program.”
