FOR US fans, the scene was tough to watch: archrival Mexico celebrating a Gold Cup victory on American soil, cheered on by a pro-Mexico crowd at the Rose Bowl.
A little more than a month later, Bob Bradley has been fired as the US coach.
Bradley led the team to big moments during his tenure, including Landon Donovan's heart-stopping goal to secure a place in the round of 16 at last year's World Cup in South Africa and an unforgettable victory over Spain in 2009.
But to some, the disappointing Gold Cup loss to a Mexico team that seems to be on the upswing was another sign that the US team's progress has stalled under Bradley.
Now another coach will be given the chance to lead the Americans into another World Cup qualifying cycle beginning next year. The next World Cup is in Brazil in 2014.
With a Mexico rematch looming, an August 10 friendly in Philadelphia, US Soccer likely will move quickly to select Bradley's replacement. The federation said it will have a "further announcement" but did not provide details.
The United States has long been linked with a move for Juergen Klinsmann, former German coach and player.
