American Southgate hasn’t gone yet? It’s been a whole day
They’re gonna keep him sadly, cause we’re content with mediocrity. We also have ridiculous corporate equal pay mandates now that require us to pay our women’s team head coach the same amount as the men’s….
Hahaha literally! These two coaches have to go! Absolutely atrocious from both of them!
God if we could be so lucky 🤞
American Southgate😂😂
That makes no sense especially since why wouldn't you try to better mens team because thats what tue world see mostly mens football at the highest level brings in alotnof money if they get mens team elite theyll make 3 times more than US women did. It makes no sense as a brazilian i wonder do Us women really think theyre that elite (US isnt a futbol nation that says alot about US skills) @silviobrolusconi2890
In fact, the USA was eliminated from the Copa America by Panama, that was the Match they needed to win
Totally agree, they should at least maintain the 1-1 to Panama…
that's the worst upset. US losing to Panama. I dont think Panama has ever even qualified for the world cup.
@@Tito-bv6omThey did. In 2018, which was the time USMNT didn’t made it lol.
Uruguay is a very very good side, better than their fifa ranking. Losing to Uruguay wasn’t the slip up, losing to Panama was
Por fin un comentario inteligente!
Sure, but it would have been nice to generate some shots on goal against Uruguay that actually had a chance of going in. Uruguay had nothing to play for and the USA had everything to play for and was playing at home. They didn't just lose to Uruguay, they were incapable of doing anything to hurt Uruguay.
Correct.
@@juandixonformvpyeah because Uruguay has better players a better manager and better overall mentality, we had literally no chance against them
The way your player got the red card on the Panama game it’s just non professional. That was the breaking point for USA….
Gregg was asked after the game, "What could the team have done better in this tournament?"
His response was, "I'll have to review it."
He's way out of his depth
"After review, I believe we need a new coach."
Just like the USSF said they are reviewing the COPA Performance. Why does Gregg even need to review it, lol He is the one micro-managing the match.
@@wizarddragonMicro-managing doesn't allow him to see the forest for the trees. Bird's eye view analysis is correct.
I defended Berhalter until the World Cup. Saying that he needed at least one complete cycle to be able to judge his work. After his defeat against the Netherlands we saw his tactical limits, high crosses while the defenders are 8 inches taller than his players, it's stupidity.
The biggest problem I saw was that during press conferences or in newspapers he took no responsibility for his defeats. And we saw that for 2 years he continued to repeat the same mistakes in and out the field. He learned nothing from his defeats.
I'm fascinated by all the different pronunciations of "Uruguay" lol
There's only one correct pronunciation.
Urugoal!
@@user-qq6sp6lx2h Accents are a thing
@@user-qq6sp6lx2hlol no there’s not. There’s a proper way to say it in Spanish and another way to say it in English - it would be weird if we pronounced every Spanish-speaking country with a Spanish accent while speaking English.

Berhalter was a mediocre MLS coach and if his brother wasn't a big executive with US Soccer, he would have never gotten the job.
Don’t underestimate mls
Pathetic.
@@josephp9141 I wouldn’t have a problem at all giving the job to a MLS manager if they’re doing well and winning trophies, but Berhalter was mediocre at MLS and definitely the end of his tenure with Columbus wasn’t doing anything that merited getting a bigger and better job. Him getting tapped for an interview in the first place was nepotism, him getting and keeping this job for this long is something between negligence and corruption.
Wow its a family affair
How can a generation be preemptively labeled a "golden generation" without doing anything to prove it?
“Golden generation” is a bit of an exaggeration but player for player it’s the best US team in their history, so naturally the expectations is higher.
@@calle9368 I agree, there is talent on the field, but still see so many silly mistakes, and as a unit, wish there was a little more creativity. Set pieces have certainly improved.
BERHALTER OUT NOW. He never ever should have been re hired. BERHALTER OUT NOW.
Nah he should be given an extension to fight off all the inquiries he is probably getting after these results!
People need to understand that there is no such thing as "golden generation". Just a bunch of overhyped players that football marketing creates these days. And this goes for other countries too, not only USA.
I have been saying this exactly, a golden generation is a generation that “achieves things past generations have not” and usa’s current generation hasnt even matched what past generations have done such as reaching the 4ter finals at the wc or reaching the final of a conderations cup much less winning against an elite team so yes this current usa team is a product of Marketing.
I wish USMNtT can bring the 2002WC team back.
The US Media and the US Federation have sold us this overrated team just because they have beaten Garbage CONCACAF Teams in Garbage CONCACAF Tournaments.
THANK YOU. I'm so sick of the moniker. They have done nothing to be called the Golden Generation. They can't even be called the Bronze Generation. The sense of entitlement these players have when they have no standout wins is crazy. Their best games end in draws or moral victories, and tournaments end in early disappointment. I don't even agree with the idea that they played well vs. Uruguay. We need multiple goals to pull ahead of Panama, and we didn't even get 1. Everyone knows Berhalter is a lame duck, but Herc is right that no player's position on this squad should be safe.
When we needed a goal on our own soil to avoid humiliation in 94 when we didnt even know the game, Wynalda delivered. Past guys seem mentally tougher to me than these guys
USA was not eliminated by Uruguay, it was virtually eliminated before the match.
And humiliated😂
@@marktheshark7588 not humiliated Uruguay are two times World Cup winners

Thank you Herc. Finally saying what needs to be said.
Herc has been saying it for a few years.
@@everything_manianot loud enough
Reality
@@julioandressachsmancera2392 Nah the problem isn't that Herc or others haven't been critical enough. The problem is that the USSF is an unserious organization full of favoritism that is blinded by record profits to notice how much US soccer has regressed on both the Women's and Men's sides.
Herc speaking facts
Also on espn deportes, herc says it lke it is!
Fac speaking hercs
One thing not mentioned, Uruguay was basically qualified and would have been happy with a 0-0, while for USA it was a must win game. The level of urgency was completely favoring USA. Uruguay was comfortable with a game with no chances for either side. So you cannot take the 1-0 to say this was a close game, and USA is at Uruguay's level. A 1-0 is exactly what Uruguay played for and Uruguay got it.
There was a scenario where Uruguay could have got grouped on the last marchday. That's why they put full strength
@@Eli__Michael yes but a 0-0 was good enough for Uruguay. They would still go 1st. They were not risking it, and played more defensive than previous games
@@Eli__MichaelFor that scenario to happen, Usa had to score at least 6 goals and Panama 8, if I am correct.
@@Eli__Michael That was never happening, panama have to score like 5 goals and USA 4 while uruguay didnt score a single one, it was just not a possibility in the real world
@ianpower9622 fewer because every us goal would bring the uruguay tally down but yeah, it would need to be a massive destruction of uruguay and bolivia. It was nearly impossible. Uruguay played full strength because they had zero yellows
Gregg should have been fired already! But...the "main" pundits in this country are people who were spoiled rich/suburban brats, brought up in the USMNT system, backed Gregg for far too long and made excuses for him. The media needs to change and the federation needs to change.
Always great when Herc keeps it 100 and says things for what they are.
But it is a tough issue
We were always going to lose *this* game, we were eliminated by Panama
There's no reason to assume you lose to Panama after the red card. Also there was 20 minutes before the red card where they could have scored, and of scored just after the red card. I felt it might have been the worst game tactically in Berhalter's reign. And that's a very high bar to clear.
Props to Uruguay, that defense was smothering
Casey really tiptoeing around this. Bro must be tight with Gregg lmfao
Not really. He’s basically saying our coach sucks and the players are overrated
Usa played well against a better team.
Uruguay always send the home team fishing. History repeat itself.
lmfao they did not play well at all they could not create any real chances. That midfield cannot make a forward pass to save their lives

Exactly.I'm sure if they play Iran again.They're going to lose to them.
There is nothing surprising about the U.S. being dumped out of the group stage of the Copa. This is what happens when USSF schedules 25 straight home matches for the team against primarily CONCACAF opponents. The reality is the U.S. can’t even win on the road in CONCACAF, let alone compete in CONMEBOL. The U.S. got exposed for their real level in this tournament and the American media need to stop hyping them up so much when they only play CONCACAF opponents.
facts!
U.S dominates concacaf idk what ur talking about. Besides the columbia game, the U.S didn't play bad against conmebol. Losing to Uruguay 1-0, and the goal was offside is not to bad. If only Tim weah didn't let us down we wouldn't have to get clowned
@@Eli__Michaelare you drunk?
You hit the nail on the head🎯
@@Eli__Michael The U.S. cannot beat CONCACAF opponents away from home. You cannot claim to dominate opponents if you can’t beat them away from home. The vast majority of the team’s games are played at home for money making reasons.
It's mad that the US even thinks they had a chance against Uruguay 😂 They are levels ahead of them literally world cup contenders every competition with premier league players and players earning 200k a week at there clubs.. US don't feel so hard done by you gave it your best shot many other teams would of lost by a bigger margin
Exactly.They're delusional😂
The fact that berhalter wasn’t immediately fired speaks volumes about the incompetency of the federation. Or he has some serious dirt on someone for that level of protection
Lost a game againt a team that doesn't need a win.
Uruguay are a big big team. Usa were never gonna beat them
They needed an offside goal to win so they obviously ain't that good buddy
@@Eli__Michaelpeople keep overstating the gap. if you watch how the US competed you’ll see they’re not too far off, but the manager has to go, and the refs can’t be paid off
@@Eli__Michaelit wasn’t offside and Uruguay didn’t have to win. We could have loss and still moved onto the next round in first place. We weren’t going to play full intensity because we know what’s. The USA can’t win without scoring.
@@Eli__Michael It was onside and even if you chalk that goal off the Yanks still go out lol.
Where do you think the players get their game plans/culture from? The manager. A fish rots from the head down. Get a serious manager and then the players can be properly evaluated
The title is misleading, this was a group game. USA failed to qualify from their group of Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay.
They were eliminated by Panama really
This was the toughest group and the US dis not play it as such.
@@Neoyorchesethis was not the toughest group bro you’re on crack, we’re blessed we weren’t in group D😂
The title is fine. what are you even trying to say?
@@bali-b292 we know the US struggles against Panama even in their own tournament, even in 2018 qualifiers Panama left the US out. And Uruguay, you cannot assume 3 points there, not even 1 point is feasible..bad coaching. Also had to vlow out Bolivia at least 4 -0 and worst case a tie with Panama. Bad planning from the coachong staff
When did Americans start thinking they had a good team? Berhalter is a mediocre manager for a mediocre National team
Well played Uruguay team.
U.S. Soccer really doesn't train soccer players correctly from the very beginning. Many of the USMNT don't actually understand basic strategic situations of the game itself because they were not trained properly when young and this stuff is hard to learn later in one's career: when to attack, when to defend, when to swing the ball side to side, and when not to, how to play to the strengths of individual players, when to take the extra touch to setup a perfect shot, when to shoot immediately without the extra touch because it's "now or never" for this particular shot, when to pass to the keeper, when to bomb it into the stands, when to take throw-ins quickly, when to wait for your side to organize, when to play 1-2 give and go, when to slow down the attack, when to fast break, when to slow build, how to use misdirection on and off the ball to freeze/confuse the other team's defense, when and how to make dummy runs, how to execute a 3 on 2 fast break, 4 on 2, 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 1 on 2, why you should watch players in your penalty area -- and not the ball outside the box because the goal is going to most likely be scored by someone in the box, not the guy on the ball outside the box, how to mark the other team's superstar player(s) effectively, when to accelerate with/without the ball, how to time a run effectively, on-and-on . . .
These are all mental components of the game and most of the USMNT players were never trained in all this. They are big, fast, strong, with average soccer skills and sub-average understandings of how the game works. Not really their fault, mostly the responsibility of their coaches along the way when they were young and learned to play "kick and run." There's no bad guys here, just a collection of folks that have not mastered the game in the way other countries do.
YOU have absolutely no validity whatsoever. If you were talking about mexico, that would be true. But everything you said has been taught by the majority of the U.S. roster players. They have been in europe since their teens & and the majority have already played Champions League. It's obvious they been taught. Now, Berhalter you would have had an argument. But not the players
Comparing a mediocre squad like the USMNT to a world-class team full of talented players that comprise the elite level of football in Europe, such as France, was jumping the shark even for this show.
Imagine hearing “USMNT” and “Golden Generation” in the same sentence.
American football fans are not living in reality.
It wasn't too late for Morocco to fire their head coach just before the world cup and make the semi finals. Ivory Coast fired their coach mid tournament and then won the whole thing this past January! Same players have dramatically different results all the time just by only switching the manager. Never too late to get rid of this guy.
Yes.. personally, I felt like the USMNT played better under assistant coach B.J. Callaghan while Berhalter was suspended.
This team has been handicapped by being termed 'The Golden Generation'. They're not. They're good but not great. They need to work their collective a**es off to get a result and a lot of these guys are not playing regularly enough with their home clubs to contribute to the team. They need to accept the fact that on the world stage they are average and need to work hard to get a result. Whether Berhalter can get them there is another question but someone in the programme needs to figure out what is happening.
It's all Tim Weah's fault, he forgot he wasn't playing American football.
Exactly. This is not a golden generation by any stretch, when compared to Belgium.
If Weah did not get a red card vs Panama, are you sure they beat a team who have beat them three out the past four meetings?
They are the pyrite generation.
In hindsight it seems the golden generation was with Donovan, Dempsey, Howard and crew.
With all due respect to the United States, no one is going to take their soccer team seriously unless they undergo some massive changes when it comes to player development and possibly the management of the team. I don’t have any sympathy with them failing to get out of the group stages of the Copa America and they were already eliminated even before their loss to Uruguay yesterday which wasn’t really shocking since they’re one of the best teams in South America and right now there’s more questions than answers surrounding Gregg Berhalter’s role as their manager and some of the fans want him out and are calling him American Gareth Southgate 😂😂😂😂😂. Even if they weren’t going to win the Copa America, you still had a good enough chance to make it out of the group. They only have themselves to blame for this because they blew their opportunity of potentially going to the quarterfinals against Panama as you were up 1-0 and you couldn’t cope when your player got a stupid red card and they ended up losing a game that who knows maybe they would’ve won had they had 11 men on the pitch. There were always in a disadvantage going into the Uruguay game because if they had won that game last week, they probably would’ve gone through and they would’ve been in a better situation going into that game.
Majority of the core issues in North America have yet to be resolved. I don’t know how the USMNT can be taken seriously because you look at other sports in America: basketball baseball and football they have much more development when it comes to their players who want to play for their sport meanwhile with their soccer team they have decent players, but none of them are genuine superstars, I’m not saying that they should be on the same level as Messi Ronaldo Neymar etc, they don’t have a single player who’s world class and they’re a team that’s still lacking a proper manager. If this guy manages to keep his job before the next international break, everyone will be raging and disappointed because even if you get a new manager, it doesn’t change the issues that they have.
Shh don’t tell them, let them keep sucking 😂
Someone please tell this guy how to pronounce Uruguay.
And Canada qualified 😂
With a coach (Jesse. M) who wanted The USA job but got passed on....
@@dexter10051 wow didn't know that . Thats a kick in the nuts
Kasey Keller defending his boyfriend berhalter as always 🥱
US is not that good.
They were never going to beat Uruguay. They might have gotten a draw. The match that did them in and should be the end of Berhalter was losing to Panama. This should also be a wakeup call regarding the player pool. Objectively, we have no world class players. We have 1 good winger, a few youngsters, some journeymen, backups, lower league players.
It’s hilarious they call themselves “golden generation” or the fact they nicknamed pulisic “captain America”. These fans delusional af😂😂😂
If Berkhalter isn't fired within 72 hours of this exit, it is a slap in the face to the entire fan base.
I hope this finally knocks some sense into the american fans. I've repeatedly heard them sing the praises of Pulisic and hailing him as a hero.
To put this into terms of another sport, this is like having your NBA franchise star player be Austin Reaves
Kasey Keller is clearly a Gregg Berhalter apologist. Get him off the show. Old guard guys like him and Gregg are holding the team and US soccer back.
He just demonstrated the correct pronunciation of Uruguay and then the 2nd commentator ignores it. In fact it ended up 3-1
I'm putting this out there...Ale Moreno for USMNT coach! He's spot on, no BS, and has the tenacity and insights needed to get this team to the next level. Who's with me?
For sure. He's one of the most insightful analysts in the world in my opinion. He would do a better job than most.
12:42 if we weren't willing to preserve continuity for Klinsmann, why would be so patient with Berhalter...?
It wasn't the Uruguay game. It was the Panama game, the Columbia game, the Jamaica game. The culture, grit, tenacity of this team just isn't at the level necessary to succeed at a high level. That culture starts with the leader. And speaking of leaders, I honestly don't see Pulisic as the captain of this squad. He's currently our best player, but he isn't the sort of big personality, commanding leader we need.
Unfortunately it feels as if the USMNT has lost its grit ever since Bob Bradley annointed his son Captain America the captains arm band for so long that every player just started taking their role for granted. No fight to get to the top, the top was spoken for. And while Captain America was a good person he wasn't the gritty fighter the USMNT needs to overcome their deficits. This whole thing wreaks of nepotism. Real nepotism and fake nepotism as in everyone knows their place, their good, no fight. Shake it allllllllll up
Why is this group considered the golden generation? Just we cause most of them play in Europe?
Here's the difference though on the players and accountability - largely, they acknowledge their accountability. Weah apologized. We can argue whether that was enough or whether more should happen to him or whatever. But he accepted accountability, said "My Bad", etc. NEVER has GGG ever accepted accountability for bad games. Always blames the players, never says "I had a bad game plan". Never says, "I didn't put the players in a position to succeed". That's the problem. That and the fact that USSF holds the USWNT to account (and gets a great coach after a failure) but they do not hold the USMNT to the same standard.
I hear that the team that scores more goals than the other team usually wins. Is this true?
Safe to say I've already seen the best USA soccer I'll ever see
World cup at home, and you going to play like this? Embarassing!!
Why they saying USMNT instead of USA ?
United States Men's national soccer (football) team.
Because they're cucked
The US soccer federation is an embarrassment
There's no need for endless debate like this. A change is desperately needed and Gregg needs to step down.
The us soccer federation reminds me of our wealthy boosters who control our University’s athletic dept hires. We had a twenty years stint of hiring bums as our football head coach. Then finally we found a diamond that’s a good coach who actually has talent. For Usmnt, it can’t get any worse imo . Blow it up and rebuild . Hire somebody fresh who wants to make a name for themselves or prove they’re up to the challenge. Thinking outside the box probably won’t happen for a long time yet at us soccer federation. 🤷♀️
I wish the following question got asked: WHY GREG BERHALTER? I think I know why, but I'd like these guys to say something. Love Ale Moreno. We always need his input because he doesn't sugar coat anything! Btw folks, the real reason the USMNT has to settle for coaches like Berhalter is because most of America, as whole, doesn't care about soccer. This means that there isn't enough pressure to push US Soccer to do what has to be done.
Bingo!
It’s embarrassing Costa Rica even got 4 points in a harder group
Imagine blaming a loss on a red card in a previous game. It’s nothing but an excuse. If the US are as good as they think they are they’d be able to win regardless of the red card.
USMNT playing Soccer. Elite world teams playing Football.
Its always fascinating to see how big headed the usa thinks it is, its got a C team yet somehow thinks they should constantly be playing with top Euro teams cuz they are also part of that gang 😂😂
The most important thing to look at is the MLS has no relegation for the bottom three teams in the league so it’s not really competitive for the loss of money and the players salary reduction and to revenue from being in the top league. Players can literally play at 50% effort and not have a worry about relegation. The league is a retirement zone where the players can get an extra couple of years earning a massive salary in a league that is a massive drop in the quality of football and a better way to live for them. It’s surprising that it hasn’t taken off in the percentage of people who would have a lot longer playing career and a lot less damaging injuries compared to the majority of American football players.
I would love to see relegation in MLS but that's not the problem with this team. The starting 11 all play in Europe.
@LuckyStriker10 most of the Brazilian Argentinan and all the best players from South America all play in Europe. The best African players are playing club football in the European teams so that's not an excuse. Chelsea have just signed up a number of young elite players from South American countries including the next USA goalkeeper and the chance to use the best coaching for the opportunity to progress
Fire Berhalter now. Players should NOT be involved in choosing their coach. They shouldn’t be all buddy buddy comfortable with them. Gregg is inept and uninspiring. Please, if you want to keep us fans, fire him now.
Common guys !, you are speaking as if losing against Uruguay is the ultimate shame, as if the US team is a better team than Uruguay and that losing wasn't expected. No way. Uruguay is arguably the nr 1 or 2 candidate to winning the cup, the defeat isn't a surprise at all !, it was the expected result.
Anyone noticed Herculez wore all black 👀👀
Pep guadiola could be interested in international football after next season he may enter international football as the New challenge to conquer...
If so the USA as hosts for the world cup in 2026 would be a great challenge...even reaching the semis would be a mammoth feat
we need pep Guardiola asap!!!!

Soccer in America is an afterthought. The 2023 college national championship soccer game had an attendance of 4,449. Did anyone of you watch? The college national championship football game had a packed stadium of 72,808 and 25 million viewers.
No one cares about college soccer bro
@@Eli__Michael Or the MLS. Average attendance of 22,111.
You are correct. I’m from Uruguay and I have been to the games and surprised by the number of people we brought compared to the USA who are hosting the tournament. We are only 3.5 millions and are bringing crowds from 20 to 35 thousand people.
@tottihay7192 Soccer is life in other countries. Enjoyed watching Suarez when he played at Liverpool. I thought him biting that player was pretty funny. Good to see him with Messi now.
I watched it, but only because I moved over here from England. You are right, the culture and interest isn’t here. And even as soccer grows it will always have to compete with at least 4 other sports. Something most other countries don’t have to deal with. All of their efforts and top athletes are filtered into soccer.
We love Greg the genius berhalter. His 8 year plan will come to fruition. Just give him some time
These Kasey Keller takes 💀
HE said "we didn't expect them to beat Uruguay". So if that's the case they would have been out in the next round. These low expectations will get us nowhere.
They talk like usmnt is man city lol. It's not a coaching thing only. The best player is pulisic and pulisic is like the 4th best player on milan on his best day
I don't get it. Uruguay always have good sides. It's no shame to lose to them.
I cant believe this morning when herc gomez was asked by a host on futbol picante if greg berhalter was a better coach than mexican national team coach jamie lozano, herc said yes and the mexican hosts started laughing, herc was totally disrespectful to the US national team.
Ale Moreno, again, spot on. Nailing Deaschamps - they want his head and they're still winning. And comparing it to USMNT, it is hilarious hahaha the fact they've done nothing is a joke at this point.
Losing to Urguay by one is not a bad result. What do you expect? Uruguay is a respectable team with much history and trophies compared to the US. It is a new team with no football culture.
Everyone knows Berhalter is a lame duck, but Herc is right that no player's position on this squad should be safe. We're on the verge of being embarrassed in a World Cup on our home soil in 2026. The arrogance and entitlement from these players ia baffling given that they have ZERO significant wins dating back to the last World Cup. Everything is a draw or a "hard fought" loss.
The fact you've bought your way into hosting these two tournaments is embarrassing enough.
@@heldinahtmlhell and where are you from?
@heldinahtmlhell Also, you should want us to host the WC. We already have the infrastructure to support it. We don't have to kill slave labor to build stadiums. Also, you don't have to move it to December due to having it in a desert. We are also more suited to host the Copa than anywhere in South America
@@justified004 England. You've bought our league (and country) as well. We don't want you anywhere, you're cultural poison.
Regarding the players only (not the BS coach) - their biggest problem is that they alway take one too many passes, or one too many touches to themselves, before actually pulling the trigger and taking the shot. They need to just take the shot if they are within their range, and have just enough space to do so (before getting closed out by the defender). They are alway looking to pass it to the next guy, but either the passer get closed out by the defender - or the player they were looking to pass to is getting closed out (or both). Just take the goddam shot, and everyone else needs to crash the box to follow through on any goalie rebounds. It's what lesser team do themselves, like Mexico and even Panama. As soon as they have any, Any "day-light"..., they do not hesitate and just shoot because they know they are within range of their "foot." But if the US players are always looking for that perfect additional pass, or that perfect little touch to themself - they are automatically reducing their shooting opportunities. They need to understand that sometimes, the more volume of shots you quickly create and take (TAKE THE SHOT GODDAM IT) is better than just waiting and waiting for the "perfect" shot. They do not have a massive issue passing out of the back, they have a little bit more of an issue running out of the middle (because they hesitate). But once they are in the upper third, they are always pausing and there is hesitation - such that the moment is lost when they had the obvious open pass. And because of that, they are caught trying to squeeze the pass through the tightest of passing lanes (that end up getting easily picked off). Be direct, make the pass (no hesitation), get to the box, and take the shot. Take The Shot.
Anyways...., the US is built to beat one team only (Mexico). And Berhalter ffkking sucks and needs to be tossed.
Nobody ever talks about the most bizarre issue of all. USA plays every single match at home other than WC qualifiers. How crazy is that and what does that say about CONCACAAF? Every tournament. Every friendly. All in the USA. That is simply not done anywhere else in the world
Guyyyss the celebration is amazing there's no question
Solid point about being immature, once this team grows up a little I think they will get results. They have the athleticism and talent to do so.
I was at the match. Tim Ream was pretty solid in the first half. And seeing Turner’s atrocious distribution live was eye-opening.
Bigger conversations need to be had about concacaf as well they’ve had 8 years for this and only two teams make it out the group stage and one hasn’t scored a goal vs 11 men
Let us be real.Klopp,Mourinho,Zidane ain't even want to touch this arrogant USMNT with a 10 foot pole😂
Why are they called USMNT? Lol
US team are horrible and most players in the team wouldn’t even make a second division side in Europe leagues. Winning one game in that weak group shows how bad the team is
I know it would never ever happen, but I'd love to see an experiment where Ancellotti or Zidane or Klopp manages USMNT and see what happens.
I think the USA has a similar problem to Mexico. Your expectations are so incredibly high, like as high as the teams that are world champions and Euro/Copa América champions without having accomplished any of that. I reckon you need to be patient, there are plenty of historical teams that never took that next step and it's just normal, only one team can win.
You call beating Panama is a high expectation? They lost twice already to Panama.
Have BJ take over for the rest of the year.
Bro thought trying to be X-Men Professor Xavier will turn the US "Burger Boys" into Super heros 😂
We all need to contact US soccer so they can feel the pressure from the fans… I hope is enough to force them to do the right thing. Berhalter has to go.
When you don't have talent, you factor in circumstances and measure by effort. When you do have talent (like the USMNT does) you only need to measure results.
Like Herc said: they’re too comfortable, and Berhalter never gets them ready enough, nor can he in-game manage
The issue I have is these little slip ups mess the whole game and next, and how many of them does the team need to learn. Other than that I think they could have beat Panama and then tie against Uruguay to advance but unfortunately that’s a different reality now.
As a Canadian - I was honestly hopeful for the US in this final game. I'm so glad our nation (or MLS teams?) hired Marsh who is a pro level coach to lead Canada. The US should demand more
You can blame the manager, but he’s not at fault every game. Not being able to score is the biggest problem. I remember 5-10 years ago, the US almost always overachieved with a poor roster. It was mainly 3 guys Landon, Clint, and Tim trying their hardest to win.
Can there be an option that you not good enough
