Bob Bradley narrowly misses a soccer milestone
Coach Bob Bradley watches his Le Havre club play Bourg en Bresse on Friday.Former U.S. national team coach Bob Bradley missed a major milestone by the narrowest of margins Friday when second-division French club Le Havre fell a goal short of promotion to Ligue 1.
Le Havre beat Bourg en Bresse, 5-0, in its final game while Metz was losing, 1-0, to Lens, leaving the teams tied for third place in the league table with 65 points. Both teams also had goal differential of plus-15. But on the second tiebreaker, total goals, Metz has a two-score edge and that was enough to qualify it for promotion to the first division next season while Le Havre will remain in Ligue 2.
