If Bradley is out four months, remind me who Berhalter will have in his place for some of these friendlies and such.

These upcoming friendlies are only for the MLS/NA players, but Adams will be available in the next international window if he doesn't get hurt again.
Jackson Yueill seemed to be the annointed backup

to Bradley after the Wil Trapp experiment failed and, as mentioned, Bradley was just a placeholder for Adams.

While bad for Bradley, this is actually a GOOD thing for Greggggg. He will no longer be bombarded by USMNT fans who don't want Bradley called. Bradley being out will remove a significant (not all) amount of pressure that comes to bear on the team just because of the selection.

Agreed

I wish no ill on Bradley, but the USMNT is better off in the long run for this.
It was only business Michael

In a long line of heralded USMNT midfielders, Bradley was far short of the standard.

Sorry to see him go due to injury, but this is nature’s hand at work.
