Michael Bradley Should Spend Less Time Practicing Volleys and More Time Leaping Rivers

Bless the Eredivisie, if it doesn’t produce the most goal-filled games in Europe*. This weekend was more of the same, as Heerenveen came from 3-1 down to beat Roda 4-3. Young American midfielder Michael Bradley scored two for Heerenveen, including this magnificent volley for the winner. It takes an impressive degree of technique and bendyness to stand back to goal and still turn and hit the target. So the big question is: If Bradley possesses that kind of athleticism, why is he so very very bad at fierljeppen?
