Bradley pleased with results

(GSM) – United States coach Bob Bradley is happy with his team’s warm-up win ahead of the World Cup 2010.

The USA prepared for the meeting with Fabio Capello’s side by defeating Australia 3-1 in Rustenburg.

Bradley was pleased with the result but says there were areas still to work on.

“In all ways it was an absolute final tune-up. We are pleased with the lead-up to the England game,” the American tactician revealed.

“These matches are always tricky with a week to go but the competitiveness of the match was exactly what we needed.

“Overall our understanding on the field is good, our fitness is good and we are getting sharper and sharper.

“In terms of improving still, I think the co-ordination of the defence at times can improve and also the ability, when we get advantages, to connect quickly and make something out of them,” the 52-year-old coach said.
