Love Bruce! We should've won that game against Germany in '02!!! If you are not familiar, watch the highlight! Great team!
@CBS Sports Golazo thank you for giving Bruce his flowers
Why didnt anyone ask why He didnt take TT ? They all knew why.
Are we making Kardashian out of USMNT? Bitter drunk wealthy show.
I like Bruce, but blaming a loss on the social media team 🤨
I have a lot of respect for Bruce, a great MLS manager.
I hope they film that golf game between Bruce and Deuce
Klinsmann set us up to have the team we have today. He was changing things from top to bottom.
Good raw interview!
Agree with Clint. Minimum is a semi final. Anything less, is disappointing
Where is the "Brought to you by Celsius" tagline at? 🤣😂😆😁
This is so f*cking awkward 😂😂😂😂😂 who the heck thought this would be a good idea?! Everyone is SO uncomfortable 💀💀💀💀
Clint Dempsey comes off like a bitter, pouty baby
Fascinating program for old school fans. Absolutely love your program. Consistent golazos. Please mic and film the upcoming golf grudge match, too!
We had a home crowd at Red Bull Arena, Bruce. I was there. The team selection and tactics sucked the air out of the stadium and people were leaving by the 60th minute. I can’t believe you still blame NY for your performance.
37:10
Get over it Clint
man charlie davies is cracking me up at 9:42
Yes the players are more capable than in Arenas early days but they don’t have the balls!!! Thats what is missing!!! Add the capabilities to what the lads had that played back 20 years ago than maybe the US has something.
Bruce was done dirty by Kraft and the New England Revolution.
Love the openness and honesty about feelings. I always admired Arena – he was a winner and I suspect his skill was understanding how to motivate the National team and his successes with the club teams. The current National team Coach is second best to this guy. He should coach the team now because the IS ain’t winning nothing in the next World Cup.
Ill never forgive the Revs for dropping him and not informing ANYONE why. We’ve been in shambles since
The LA Galaxy was never the same after Bruce left 😔
The man is a legend of our league
Ability-wise pulisic is definitely better than Donovan
Revs fan here…Bring back Bruce, please!!!!!
When Arena says any coach can do tactics, Dempseys criticizing his tactics and Jones criticized his tactics
THE BRUCE. Love it. Thank for all you did for USMNT, MLS and me as a Div-1 player. Kevin (Ursinius camp, you know when). Thank you for 2002 and all you taught me. RESPECT
