The scoring drought is over.
After numerous scoreless weekends, the Americans Abroad killed the near month-long streak as two players found the back of the net this weekend.
Michael Bradley, who scored midweek in the U.S. national team's 2-2 draw vs. Costa Rica, struck in Borussia Moenchengladbach's 2-1 loss to VfL Wolfsburg. Although Bradley's goal came in stoppage time with Wolfsburg leading 2-0, it was still a beauty (video of the goal is after the jump).
Jon-Paul Pittman was the other player to net this weekend, scoring three minutes from time in Wycombe Wanderers' game against Colchester United. Pittman's goal salvaged a 1-1 draw for Wycombe, and was his third of the season.

What do you think of these performances? Think Bradley is finding his scoring touch again? Is Jon-Paul Pittman deserving of a call-up in January? Surprised more Americans aren't scoring?
