#717: Bob Bradley joins the pod

He is a giant of American soccer, a trailblazer, a man who truly loves the game and has devoted his professional life to its growth. He gave us two hours to talk about what creates soccer hot spots, the coach's responsibility to lead good discussions, halftime of the Slovenia match in 2010, what the USA's performance at the World Cup told him, information literacy in the context of the Port Said massacre, preparing to beat Spain in 2009, the network of soccer mentors who powered the North Jersey scene, and much much more.
