Bradley content with USA performance after Turkey win

USA national team coach Bob Bradley was content with his side's performance in the 2-1 win over Turkey on Saturday.

Goals from Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey enabled the USA to come back from a goal down following ArdaTuran's opener in the first half at Lincoln Financial Field and Bradley said it was a good result to get in front of the home fans before they head off to South Africa.

"In terms of what you want from a send-off game, I think today was very good. It was a great crowd. The team feels honored when our fans come out like that," he said.

"There's a lot of things on the field to build on, a real good push when we got behind and in the end a good heartfelt win against a good team so, in that regard, we accomplished a lot today.

"They're a good team on the counter. When we were trying to attack certain spots and the ball turned over, they were quick to take advantage of it. Counters come two ways. They come when you think there is an advantage and you're trying to press it forward, which is an important part of the game, and then it comes when the reactions after the ball turns over aren't what they need to be."
