Hey Guys -- new soccer fan here, trying to educate myself on the game as best I can.

I'm a big NBA fan so I was wondering who you would (roughly) compare Gilberto, Defoe and Bradley to in the NBA in terms of skill?

Thanks!

Defoe - Current day Kobe, nearing the end of his career, not the player he once was but still has some game left.

Bradley - Ginobili, not a star but a good solid player who you want on your team that will help you win.

Gilberto - Senior coming out of college, as he's 24 and has spent all of his career in Brazil. Not quite good enough to leave school early and be a top draft pick, but still is a good talented player, has some upside and is looking to make a name for himself.

Wow that's pretty spot on.

All I would add is Bradley is more like a PG and will look to get everyone involved. You'll see him with the ball at his feet for a lot of the game as he looks to push it forward.

Mike Conley?

Thanks very much!

I forgot to ask for a Julio Cesar comparison. Not sure how you'd use a bball comparison so maybe a hockey goalie comparison?

It's going to be tough.

Honestly a draw in Seattle would be a great result.

Coming home with at least a point is key.

I was just thinking that lol

[LittleOzzy]

I just hope people don't freak out after what is very possibly a loss today.

TFC is building, it's going to take more then one game, but making the playoffs is easily the goal.

Seattle's front court is dangerous.

[LittleOzzy]

Bradley needs to slow down and let the game come to him.

Trying to do too much right now I think.

[T-d0t]

Bradley is making me nervous.

[BlueJayReyes]

Whole game is looking sketchy. Lots of awful passes and shanked shots
