The US has been given three red cards in the Confederations Cup. Two of them were indeed deserved, I think, but Bradley's yesterday was not. He came in with his cleats showing, but it was low, timed well, and he got all ball and no man with his tackle. I wouldn't even have called a foul, much less given a red.
