Could Michael Bradley Move Forward for U.S.?

Michael Bradley can't stop scoring goals.

Ever since Dutch club Heerenveen sold Afonso Alves to Middlesbrough last January, the 20-year-old wunderkind has become a goal-scoring machine. The video above shows his game-winner against Roda last Saturday, his second on the day and his 15th goal in Eredivisie this season. He's not only beaten Brian McBride's record for most goals scored by an American in a European league season; he's obliterated it.

Everton, Blackburn and Hamburg all appear eager to obtain Bradley's services. (If Hamburg can finish second and go directly to next year's Champions League group stage, they might win out over the English clubs.) Do all these goals, however, mean that Bob Bradley would move his son from midfielder to striker for the U.S. men's national team? Michael is still listed as a midfielder on the U.S. roster for this Wednesday's friendly against Poland. How long before that changes?
