USA vs. Spain: U.S. delivers uninspiring result in match not worth scheduling

USA 0 - 4 Spain

Maybe the big discussion from Saturday's clinic inside Gillette Stadium shouldn't be about starting lineups and the wisdom of U.S. coach Bob Bradley deploying a "B team" in a match that bumps up against an important tournament -- although there is certainly a hardy debate there.

Perhaps the take-away for U.S. Soccer is this: Saturday's clunker against mighty Spain probably should have never been scheduled. It was always a bloodbath waiting to happen, given the crammed June schedule.
