    You could argue, as the game played out that it was the referee/officiating crew that was the reason that we LOST the game - they did award Uruguay a phantom goal that was the only goal of the game. However, it was not their fault that we did not WIN the game, which was what we needed to do. The failure to score is on us, and the failure to advance is on us.

      True. But, on the other hand, this is exactly what I felt about the team pretty much the entire period from 2011 to 2017 when the program finally collapsed. I've felt mostly good about the last six years compared to the prior period.
      Berhalter for the first time in the job failed to meet the minimum required expectations. He deserves to be dismissed.
      But I figure its only about 50% chance that it will get better once he's fired or resigns. There is some lucky MLS team that will pick Gregg up. But there just aren't a lot of great choices for a coach that are realistic and available right now. I don't foresee the team even having a coach until early next year if they release him now.

    Uruguay population 3.4 mil - TWO world cup wins. US population 342 mil. Estimated total number of youth in soccer development academies in Uruguay at U14 -- 105K; for USA at U14 -- 2.4Mil. It's the quality of training, not the number of youth being trained. We need to focus on recruiting socioeconomically disadvantaged youth--we owe it to them and these youth have much more ambition/drive. MSL/USSF needs to comply with FIFA RSTP solidarity payment guidelines, so that US youth soccer development can shift from the short-term goal of extracting fees from parents to the long-term goal of actually developing youth skills/knowledge (This actually will make $$$$$$$$$ in the long term). USSF can also get a real manager for the men's team. Jurgen Klopp is out there!

    I'm totally with you Jake! On the rest of it too ❤️‍🔥 I feel *exactly* as you do and I'm glad you said it using your full range of expression 😉
    The worst betrayal for me is that over say the last 2 international windows we've seen these *glimpses* of what this team *could* be. The chemistry between Gio and Haji. Puli's individual brilliance. Ream's stone cold defensive confidence. Our fire in the midfield. But even after some of the best moments I was never able to trust that we wouldn't get embarrassed again by Greggg's incompetence.
    Berhalter's superpower is blame deflection, so your choice of the term "gaslit" is perfect. He *is* a narcissist. But I could accept that if he were actually any good. He's not.
    This generation... our best generation so far... will never get an opportunity like the 2026 WC again. Berhalter out!

Also I would add that it's not only shameful, it is embarrassing the direction we put forth in this game. The US Soccer Federation is in a very similar place as our nation. It is not in a good place and certainly plays a part in this debacle we are faced with in finding some stability. Onwards and Upwards to my fellow USMNT supporters and I wish you well.

Guys like Dempsey, Jermaine Jones, Tim Howard, had that intensity and just hatred of losing that i just dont see current guys having. And i dont mean complaining to a ref. I mean, in an interview and just sheer passion that they love this game and will do everything they can to win. I just dont feel that with these guys.

      Because we don't have any "winners" in the squad, except Pulisic for his UCL victory. Some of the guys won other cups but I don't care much about those. In short, most of them don't know what it's like to win anything, except the meaningless concacaf trophies. This is another problem with not having players at the top clubs in the world that actually win things of significance. Besides not having the top competitive experience, they know no one will take them seriously if they talk about hating losing. I wouldn't. So they don't bother talking about it, and they shouldn't.

Expect to be disrespected by every country you play against and even the ones you don't play against. Expect the worse possible conditions, accommodations, schedule, and anything else that could give you a disadvantage thats in someone else's hands. Then when you overcome all of that you get to watch youtube videos where everyone says you're still no good.

All presidents prior and future have that immunity. Subsequently, the world has been shit for the past 3 years. With that said and back to the soccer topic, do you feel the federation is actually going to fire Berhalter?, but more importantly, what can we as US fans do to have strong enough voice to let the federation know our displeasure should Berhalter continue?

    The rehiring process in particular was insane and reminiscent of a lot of what the worst organizations in the NFL and NBA will do where they had some chump who's been recycled a multitude of times and the organization settled on 6 months before the process even began rather than keeping yourself open to options.
    Sorry the world's been getting to you man! Ain't got much to say to be positive about cause you're absolutely not wrong and I'm impressed you were able to keep it to that cause man does it get easy to spiral. Keep your head up though, USMNT and the world as a whole can and will get better.

  • @inurear
    @inurear 3 місяці тому

    Offside take:
    The VAR team looks at all camera angles and frames, not just the one used by the broadcast.
    They have a tool that draws the lines based on the dimensions of the view (the "not parallel" argument is ridiculous as this is factored in by the software)
    There are limitations with certain angles and quality, but because of those limitations VAR needs to consider the complete range of frames where the header may be in contact, in this case, it is likely the first frame of the header
    The presented "Frame" shows (1) contact with the ball, (2) the backmost US player, and (3) the foremost Uruguayan player. when a line drawn between 2 & 3 does not show any part of the Uruguayan past the line - VAR does not have a "clear and obvious" argument to challenge the call on the field. Even If the following 2/3 frames demonstrate a clear offside, it doesn't override the fact that there was at least one frame, from one camera angle that demonstrates onside.
    That's how "clear and obvious" works: American's can stop crying about it.
