MONTREAL -- United States captain Michael Bradley says he and his international teammates have to "look in the mirror" after Jurgen Klinsmann was dismissed as U.S. coach on Monday.
"It's never a good thing when a coach gets fired," Bradley told reporters after Toronto FC's 3-2 first-leg loss to Montreal in the MLS Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday.
Klinsmann was let go by U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati after the Americans lost a pair of World Cup qualifiers earlier this month when a 2-1 defeat to Mexico on Nov. 11 was followed four days later by a 4-0 shellacking in Costa Rica.
