Why is this a surprise to anyone? You can continue to PR campaign about the US or Mexico but you are playing a Conmebol team that has hierarchy and football heritage
Exactly
They keep fooling themselves everyday.But in actual reality.They are just trash in football.
It’s all about US entitlement. They think it’s their right be be top dog at everything they compete in.. Well, when it comes to football they ain’t top dog!! South American teams are light years ahead of them! They need to stop bitching about loosing, or trying to put the blame onto Berhalter.
Diaz is literally the only Colombian player starting and performing at a bigger club than Pulisic or McKennie. As a TEAM Colombia are far superior and have been on an absolute tear beating teams that are easily better than them on paper like Brazil, but on paper they are actually pretty comparable to the USMNT. Watford? Genk? Krasnodar? Al Sadd? Not exactly household names for clubs. Robinson, Cardoso, Richards and Scally are all starters on solid mid-table top-5 league teams. Transfermarkt has the 27 player USMNT squad at a higher value ($347 million) compared to the 28 man Colombia squad ($287 million). So yeah, give Colombia their due, they are a great team and are playing incredible together, us fans are absolutely right to expect us to at least COMPETE with them and eek out an underdog win here and there against better teams like we used to do when we had a far less talented squad. We are fed up with seeing this Berhalter team try and force playing out of the back and get burned OVER AND OVER against good pressing teams that KNOW what we are going to do EVERY TIME! As another commentator said even Pep knows he has to play the long ball from time to time.
@@r.s.10Man, Colombia have a lot of players on the top leagues in europe and america, that's the diference the point is not the team of the players the point is how they play on his team anf that is the big diferences between us.
Lmao he put the 94 World Cup as an example. Half of the Colombia team was under treat of death. Not a good example
Yes that’s true, this guys are lost.
Someone try to use it as an example in the Alexi lalas show. He was part of that team.
All he said was "watch the 30 for 30 two escobars on ESPN" No celebration, nothing, it made me respect him a ton
Fifa rankings mean nothing as you just learned, usa and mexico are so high up on the rankings bc concacaf is shitty competition otherwise they both be ranked between 30-40th
Exactly.FIFA rankings is the worse barrometer to base teams now.Like what has the US and Mexico has done that propelled them to be ranked 11th and 13th in the world.That's just crazy.
Speaking facts 💯
Did Charlie just say it wasn’t a 5-1 game😂😂 denial at its finest
That man is dumb I never want to see him commentate anything he doesn’t know ball
Charlie is completely delusional
I liked when he literally defined a wakeup call when saying it wasn't. But it's true. It was more like a 7-1 game...
@@alex1vid he was finally going somewhere and then just dropped the ball by saying it wasn’t a 5-1 game lol
Charlie is just a fool.He sounds and looks like he ain't know a lick of football.
My god, are the people at CBS in capable of saying “Berhalter is incompetent.” 5-1 is exactly what we feared from his leadership. We barely, luckily beat Jamacia, lost to Trinidad, were run over by Germany. That’s just in the last nine months.
Gregg Berhalter is what holds these back. Terrible tactics. Terrible adjustements. No accountability. This is who we are.
He doesn't make adjustments. He doesn't play to the strengths of his players.
Having average players is what’s holding you back!! Get over it !!
Berhalter still hasn't learned the lessons from the defeat against the Netherlands. A tactic based on crosses when your center forward is 5′ 10″... It's not incompetence, he's totally stupid.
@@DerekLangdon Ha. Yep. That's it. We've never beaten teams from Europe or South America. We're luck to have Gregg....
USMNT is winless in 6 consecutive matches vs conmebol teams yet these clowns are trying to make you believe you can win Copa America🤦🏻♂️
Exactly.They are delulu🤣🤣🤣
Colombia looked like a team ready to play at the top level, Team USA looked like a team of people just landed on another planet...
Berhalter OUT. Never should have been in. Worst coach in USMNT history. US Soccer and their pathetic search.
Coaches arent on the field, was klopp gonna stop the goals for example?
@@dagosegovia843dumbest thing I've read today. Why have a coach at all then.
Coaches matter this dude needs to go and find players that want to play for national team no heart or was it the rainbow colors for there numbers on there backs
@@bulletproofman323 These men are professionals. They should be able to play well and read the game themselves. Coaches only do so much. I’m not all for GB but when it comes down to it the players need to play the game. They make the decisions IN the field. And the decisions made vs colombia were mediocre at best. You could have had guardiola and it still would have been 5-1, Colombia rn is on fire since 2022 havent lost a game while the usa is winless against south american teams in their last six matches. Call it the dumbest thing youve read today or not but its reality.
@@Joe-fw8oq dual nationality players sometimes dont feel much of anything much less pride for the country they end up choosing to represent bc a lot of the time they end up playing for the team they had as 2nd choice. 🤷🏻♂️
This is not a wake up call..a wake up call is Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia.That was a horrible performance on all levels
USA was lucky, because Borja who plays in River Plate, doesn’t play, he will score if he was in.
LMAO!! No less than a semifinal is a failure? This team won’t beat Colombia or Brazil at the Quarterfinal.
VAMOS MI COLOMBIA!!!!
Bruh,them ain't reaching any semis.They were lucky to even reach it last time.
With berhalter around I really doubt it. I don’t really think we might make it to the semifinals or the finals to win the championship it’s all wishful thinking. And he says it’s a wake up call no Berhalter you fool it’s a reality our team is not strong enough to beat Colombia, Brazil or any teams it’s time to face the facts that USA men’s soccer team sucks and we’re hosting the World Cup in our country and I’m American and I’m very angry how we play it’s really embarrassing.
Been following the USMNT closely since 1990 in the last 10 years have been the absolute worst times with the USSF leadership and the hiring of Berhalter has been a disaster. We have been pushing to get him removed for over 5 years. This is insane they can't see this. He is not the right fit for this team for over 5 years. Its so obvious its sad at this point. what a waste of time.
It is impossible for the 3 kings of Concacaf to beat the powers of South America, Argentina - Brazil - Uruguay - Colombia... perhaps the others are accessible but those first 4 are not going to beat them
You need to explain that gently to the Yanks, so as not to upset their sensibilities!
The players are showing no confidence and no believe in what they are doing. Colombia put in the field 11 players oozing confidence in excellent conditioning and it showed in the results. The USA men’s team needs a new coach desperately.
21 straight wins also helps Colombia's confidence and prep.
Tip to the USSF... nevermind Copa America. If Brazil can lose 7-1 in a World Cup Semi-final AT HOME to a top rival, you better recognize the US side could lose FAR worse. That's the warning they don't understand and the outcome they have silently accepted. And Pulisic isn't = 2014 Neymar.
Following Saturday’s 5-1 result, the USMNT is 3-14-5 all-time against Colombia, with the team’s last win coming in a 3-0 victory on March 9, 2005 in Fullerton, Calif. That's 19 years! The team’s eight- match winless streak against Los Cafeteros is currently the second longest of any opponent after Brazil (11 matches).
The US cannot underestimate teams like Colombia that have been pumping out great football players for over 40 years. Colombia is ranked the third exporting country of players in the Americas (over 467) only below Brazil (first) and Argentina ( second). Uruguay is ranked 4th, and the US is 5th.
The US needs to humble down, and start working their butts off!
One of the biggest things that does hold back the US.Is just pure arrogance.From the squad,coaching staff, the pundits and to the media is filled with arrogance.And that's why the US does deserve to lose games.
Quantity ≠ Quality
As a Colombian, there's no way we produce more players than Uruguay. Not even close.

@@andres08221997 ok listo, gracias ... pero...en el 2024, no en general.
Sorry but these commentators are afraid to tell the truth. Better analysis by 11 Yanks, tactical manager, red card, or any place else.
USA has never had any success in Copa America…to say if they don’t make semis it’s a failure is a wild and super bold statement. Not to mention it’s disrespectful to the COMEBOL teams who know what Copa America is about way more than US soccer does. Good luck with that!
Exactly.But that's the american arrogance for you.They does think that they have a right to stake a claim to sport.Just because they're "first world country".When in actual fact.They are trash in the sport.
Americans really think they an elite team. CONCAF is ranked last in my list.
They don’t get it. Expecting the most, whilst working with average at best players. Reality check needed
Oceania is the worst .
Asia and CAF ( Africa) are probably tied for third Best or a slightly edge to Africa.
@@Katkayz CAF is really deep. You have top European players on teams that don't make the World cup. Asia if you asked me 5-10 years ago I might say Concacaf is better. But the sport has really developed continent wide. And at this point Japan has surpassed the US. Mexico has gotten much worse. Only saving grace is Canada has gotten decent, and then Jamaica+Suriname have aggressively recruited dual nats the last year.
Even below Antarctica? Damn the penguins really have us beat
@@rq7284 even Korea and Iran might be better than us
It's nothing to do with players in top 5 leagues not playing
It's the fact that every single other serious country has players there too contributing at a higher level and with more quality
Whay the usmnt has isn't special outside of concacaf I fact its not even the bear minimum.
Still a long way to go
Well said
Exactly.But leave it to US media and pundits to overhype them.Thinking they have elite players.When actually they just have average players.
when are yall gonna realize that we just arent that good...
You're right, we're not good, but player pool is very good, unfortunately the coach is a third rate MLS coach. The US would have played better without a coach at all. Coach makes a huge difference...look at Argentina, loaded and with Messi, yet they woefully under performed until Scaloni straightened things out.
@@williamg3127 yeah but that’s Argentina and we’re just not as developed as them, coach or no coach. We can barely beat teams that can BARELY win a game in the group rounds lol
I saw Charlie's reaction to "Berhalter took some of the blame." and I'm completely with him! Berhalter's superpower is blame deflection.
Americans love a winner. Americans hate losers. But more than that... Americans will not tolerate being humiliated, or even just embarrassed. The USWNT is *never* subjected to our fans being outnumberd by the fans of other countries *in our own home* .
How many #11 Milan shirts does Christian Pulisic sell? And how many #10 USMNT shirts does he sell? Same for all the rest of our European players. My point is that we absolutely love our players and follow them fanatically at their clubs. Because they're winners. *And that is worth a boatload of money* . Why are so many US businessmen and coalitions buying European footie teams? Why are so many media companies paying huge money for the US tv rights? Why have European teams made a habit now of doing US tours in the summer? And why are both the Premier league and the Champions league proposing competitive matches in the US???
Because it's worth a boatload of money. The sport is growing in America faster than any other sport or in any part of the world. So why did Wrexham, a lower tier Welsh team, outdraw any USMNT match in this country in the last several years? Because Americans Do Not Trust the USMNT to Not Embarrass us.
The US soccer Federation is throwing hundreds of millions of dollars away because of their toxic insistence on keeping Greggg Berhalter as manager. Maybe... just maybe... if they get that shoved in their faces often enough... they might hire a manager that our players and our fans deserve.
Your words are merely the words of a sore loser! For you to suggest it’s embarrassing for the USMNT to be outplayed and beaten by Colombia, is downright insulting to a superior team. How dare you!!
@@DerekLangdon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok. *Why* is it a superior team? I'll tell you the main factor - Columbia has a really good coach. The US has an embarrassment of a coach.
The reason we wanted so much to put up a good showing against Columbia is because of how much we respect them. They are a fantastic team! Instead, we embarrassed ourselves.
You all really went 10 minutes of commentary on this without questioning the tactics and role of the manager? Y'all are part of the problem. At least Charlie brought up wanting to see different formations and personnel. But the rest of you? Come on, I can't take your show seriously.
Bro, the manager isnt on the field is he? Sure he sets up the squad 4-4-3 or whatever tells them to play out the back bc any pro player should be able to do so. Come on man switch manager and youre still left with the same players and if you play the same colombia the result will be the same or maybe just a 3-0
I knew as soon as the players in the pre-game interviews said "our priority is 2026 world cup" that they would get embarrassed.
Tbf Colombia is a really good team
Colombia
This. ARG, BRA, COL, ECU, URU all better than USA 🇺🇸 Maybe VEN too.
@@rmzweig3972agree with all except Venezuela. I think the US could beat them by a close margin
@@DeTaxxmanI highly doubt it.
Gregg Berhalter's second tenure has been a disaster so far:
1. Eliminated GC SF's to 🇵🇦
2. 3-1 Loss to 🇩🇪 in crisis that had lost 3 of it's last 5 at the time
3. Loss to 🇹🇹 and 🇸🇮
4. Needed stoppage time equalizer and ET to beat 🇯🇲 at home (also tied at home 8 months prior)
5. Demolished 5-1 by 🇨🇴
Did he even deserve a second tenure? How does he start with SO MUCH job security?
You can talk about club form and getting minutes and all that but until we get a new coach it won’t matter if all our players are in form coming into games because they don’t play as a team under Gregg! It’s time to fire him!
Have you considered hiring Pep Guardiola? If anyone can turn average players into superstars, Pep can!!….Maybe go for the top man himself, Jesus Christ. He’s the real deal when it comes to performing miracles!
Gregg couldn't get his USMNT players in the right mindset for this game! You respect Copa America, you respect your opponent, you respect the beautiful game, and you respect your fan base! Shame on the players and Gregg for not getting them in the right mindset to play a friendly at home! America deserves better! RESIGN GREGG!
Agreed, but when you have a tough opponent and in addition Berhalter is tactically outcoached and using players not to their strengths, the team is easily disillusioned. Berhalter is also ineffective as a motivator because you can see right thru him, he a lying SOB that never admits fault.
Well it seemed the players treated the match just like Gregg has been preaching all along. That Copa is a warm-up experience for the World Cup. So what do you think these friendlies are? Glorified practices apparently with no urgency. The players take on the personality of the manager. And a bad manager put that idea in their heads. He also continuously tries to make the players conform to his system instead of designing a system around his player pool. Amateur hour.
I can’t believe they are saying this. Charlie doesn’t know what he’s talking about. This team isn’t good enough. PERIOD. Americans are always arrogant thinking they can compete. Saying a semifinal is possible in the World Cup. It’s just arrogance. USMNT is just not good enough, and it won’t be until the player pool gets bigger. Half the players play in Europe but they don’t really play in the perspective team, maybe as a sub. Pulisic is supposed to be the main player but he’s been in Europe for 6-8 years and has had one good season at dortmund and this one at Milan. He isn’t top class, not even close. Then Reyna, let’s not even go there.
This female analyst does know starting 30+ games a season in a team like Ac Milan is good right with normal injuries and rotation.
She’s clueless
@@Warum.2439 like as she was reading that off and got into the 15 to 16+ starts im like thats not bad especially for younger players in a top 5 league like Scally.
She's trying her best at least lol. Across the board CBS has tons of unqualified and unknowledgeable pundits when UCL isn't on the TV.
She’s an idiot and is trying to Charlie he’s wrong lmao
She’s not wrong. Turner, Ream, Gio, Weah, Balogun didn’t get consistent minutes this season. Pulisic is an outlier, along with Jedi and Mckennie, who played regular minutes at a high level.
Trust me: the only thing United States need is a good Argentine or Brasilian coach, United states have good players and all money to be a powerful in the soccer or at least be in competition, but all you need is a good plan, greedings from Colombia.
They can go into a deep shell and not give up 5 easy goals. They might beat a smaller and weaker CONMEBOL team. They have no chance at competing with the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia.
ECU > USA 🇺🇸 Maybe VEN too. CHI with Gareca might be as well.
They won't beat any Conembol team like this tbh
As a Colombian these are a couple of my favorite moments of this video
“Not a 5-1 team” - lost 5-1
“Not making it to semi finals is a failure” (tf are you beating Brazil or Colombia)
“Scally played badly and was absent minded” (bro neutralized Luis Diaz, the best player on the field, yall are tweaking)
They're just delulu
seriously. And that Scally comment? Like you said, he managed Diaz well, to the point where he hardly presented any real danger except a couple of times.
As long as Berhalter is the coach, they will never bounce back. He is dragging this team down….
I am glad she is bringing this up because i have heard a good number of USMNT fans stating the US has 'better players' based on that they play in the top 5 leagues.. but as she says how many of them are actually key players in their teams? if anything it sounds like they lack consistent game play. Maybe a regular MLS starter would do better than a bench warmer in Germany
This team does not respond to adversity. This team hosts Uzbekistan and Oman instead of traveling away to Netherlands and France for the sheer challenge of it. This coach plays 53 of 74 games inside the USA, most against tiny nations of less than 7 million. This team and this coach are weak and unserious. #soft
They should have never hired Berhalter in the first place but if they don't make it out of the group stage they should fire him.
Nobody is talking about Jesse marsch doing great with Canada. They lost to Netherlands but they got a draw with France and they played with the A team…. Greg berhalter sucks
I would take Klinsman back in a heart beat. He would have the players get a solid mentality, and not try to play a rigid club system like Gregg. Gregg would’ve never got out of that group of death with the squad we had. He wouldn’t even do it with the squad we have now
Facts👏🏼.
They are focusing too much on club minutes for a season without actually knowing what they are talking about. Scally- regular starter or first one off the bench, Richards- regular start the entire second half of the season, Jedi- starts every match, Johnny- started from the minute he came to La Liga mid season, McKennie- regular starter, pulisic- regular starr, Balogun- started of came of the bench every match, Weah- played most matches off the bench.
Only starters not getting regular minutes were ream and Turner.
And Gio
Don't expect knowledgeable people on these shows. They are more focused on hiring comedians like the guy on the right and then just having ladies on the panel just to have them.
The UCL panel is great not only because of their personalities, but you have knowledgeable people. Kate Abdo is a presenter and she's more knowledgeable than 2 of the "analysts" we have on this video lol.
@@nias2631 yes and Gio.
@@rq7284 I’d argue Kate abdo is better than all of this paneled combined.
She’s not wrong. Scally, Balogun, Weah had a weak league season in 2023-24.
Why is everyone on this show afraid to state the obvious? When a few players have a bad game it's on them, when the entire team looks disjointed and uninspired it's on the coach! And this is nothing new, just more of a disaster this match! Gregg's name wasn't even whispered in this video!
Charlie also a very different person with different opinions on this show compared to Call it What you Want podcast. Hmm, I wonder why?...
This os nothing more than a reality check
Charlie... Your close but not there. Im not a GB fan, but I actually like the idea that he stayed with his formation of 4-3-3. It speaks to me that he is playing his system no matter the team. I preffer that over playing a 5-3-2 and trying to get a result. I rather get the truth then get a result.
USA NEED A NEW COACH😊😊😊
I think the narrative that you’re not pushed in MLS might be a little outdated at this point. I disagree with Charlie on this one. 1) you are fighting for a spot week in and week out because now MLS has started to bring in South American players on a more consistent basis. You got Cremashi for example who was a lock down and all of a sudden, he’s fighting for that spot. 2) MLS teams are now very quick to bring in their USL players and send you to their spot if they feel you aren’t up to the task 3) and what I feel is most important, Europe has eyes on you. They are willing to buy you and so I want to be a starter and at the same time show you can cut it oversees. You also have more competition than before. Leagues Cup, Open Cup, Champions Cup. A little added pressure to perform with the whole MLS/Liga MX rivalry (looking at you Aiden morris 👀). I rather have that and someone playing up to 3 games a week in 3 different competitions than someone riding bench just focusing on league play.
OK ENOUGH!!.. STOP TALKING ABOUT SOCCER/FOOTBALL.. Let's talk about P*rno!!.... Did you see how the USMNT got rammed without vaseline by the Colombian team in honor to the gay pride? .. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stop. Relying. On Tyler Adams. He can't stay healthy. It's good when he's there but its more of a bonus vs expectation and no longer a viable excuse.
Conmebol has been playing futbol since 1916. Your not going to play like Southamerica by playing in Europe. You have to take futbol seriously and starts in the stadium.
Why does she keep saying "your"? 🤣
These peeps are literally blaming everybody BUT Berhalter. It's insane to me. He didn't shift up the tactics or have them do anything different. The one goal that happened occurred when they briefly did exactly what Berhalter DID NOT ask for. Gregg is desperate to tell them to whip in more crosses even though it never worked. I don't know why y'all don't see this.
Short answer no , the long answer definitely not . They have Gregg at the helm , nothing will change
Wow, you cant blame the players mistakes on the coach.
Seems like each window the first game is bad for the USMNT since players are getting reacquainted with Gregs stilted zone system. I think it kills creativity and adds complication for the player. Plus other teams that understand it have a sense of where our players will move to.
Got it guys, not a great performance. But just a week or less ago, you guys were the ones blowing these dudes. Now you can also look at the fact that Canada just played France to a draw. Canada is not any better or worse than the US. If it had been the US who had played that draw with thw best team in the world, you be sucking them right off again. These broadcasters are hyperbolic in their responses everyday. The one chick talking about 32 and 37 starts as if that's something to blow your nose at, was a bit ridiculous.
There are many more problems than you guys are talking about. It’s the entire US soccer system
1) None of those starting 11 are afraid for their jobs and therefore coast. No one is pushing them from below. Look what happened when the subs came on.
2) The expectations for the US national team are set way too low for the talent pool we have in this country. Berhalter keeps his job after the last World Cup? That was horrible And so predictable. It’s all the people above Berhalter that are the real problem. Reyna family, all the executives, MLS owners who won’t allow relegation or invest in more international players
3) CONCACAF sucks, it’s down with Oceana in terms of regional competition. How can the US play more globally successful teams In meaningful games?
4) US soccer development program is way behind other countries. Rich kids, pay to play, no national strategy to develop kids towards, etc.
I am a U-12 recreational soccer coach. I watched all the goals scored against the US and counted the players watching the ball instead of the runner. How is it we have players at the top level in the European leagues, and mistakes like u-12 rec. kids?
Don't panic! Even Argentina once was defeated 5-0 by Colombia and 6-1 by Bolivia. Take this game as a lesson of humility, review the failures and correct, in South America everyone talks good of the US team, you're doing it better than Mexico.
expectations to get to a semis in the toughest international tournament on the planet?? DELUSIONAL! Copa America is arguably harder than the Euros! another example of American “exceptionalism” being their your double edge sword!
Reality check 😂😂😂,this is not Concacaf and their low level teams,this is a Conmebol
Has anyone ever seen him coach, cause any behind the scenes vid of him coaching explains why we lost 5-1
One of these ladies is very annoying... Youre not into something with weah and balogun, very harsh on both and nothing about pulisic. Weird energy on them
GB is a disgrace to the game. I wouldn’t trust him with my U9 girls team.
People keep using the word “shocking,” when describing the problems are team is having. But if you’ve watched the team under Greg for the last several years this shouldn’t shock you. It’s the same issues we’ve had since the beginning just compounded by the fact that he misprofiles players, doesn’t adjust his style to help maximize their skills, and doesn’t experiment with new players often enough. He basically dropped Johnny into a starting role having never started and the kid played pretty well under the circumstances. This is what we are under Greg and it isn’t going to change so it’s time to make a change
1:23 “it’s another thing to take these players who play for other teams”!?! What… did he seriously just say that!? Like this is the first time a national team has ever had to field a team of players playing for different leagues and different teams!? My gosh. Even the pundits are as bad at their jobs as the USMNT players are at theirs.
This has nothing to do with the players. Berhalter's college-level tactics hit their ceiling long ago. You could put today's Real Madrid or French national team in our jerseys and they'd get the same or similar results that Gregg's USMNT tactics have gotten: lots of ties and some losses against mediocre teams.
They kept playing the ball through the left side -- they have to run it through the right side with Wes.....people say he had a bad game because he was quiet, but he didn't make mistakes and he progressed the ball with quick passes when it came to him -- the offense has to run through Wes and Gio and Weah on the RIGHT side.
If we do lose to Brazil in wensday game he’s got to go. Berhalter needs to be fired if we lose to Brazil and the players need to be ashamed of themselves as well for the lack of effort and talent communication I can’t watch the Cupa America because I know it’s going to be an embarrassment for us Americans 😰.
I think USA as a football team has only beaten Brasil once in the many games they played. USA need to focus on playing a better football game against Brasil to avoid a embarrasement. Even despite being defeated a better scoreline of 1:0 would look better on paper.
I don't know what that woman is smoking.But this overrated and mediocre USMNT is not reaching any semifinals.
He almost says it was 0-0 before the start of the game
It was that close 😂
Why are people struggling to say it's time for Gregg to go?
we're fucked. Brasil will put at least 3 past Turner, which means we'll be heading into the Copa with a subpar keeper, who cant get a game for one of the worst teams in the EPL. which means we would have allowed 8 goals in two games at home. were cooked. I believe both Panama and Bolivia can get a result against us.
There’s zero reason to keep Berhalter as the head coach. There’s plenty of talent on the USMNT, and the notion that they just aren’t good enough is nonsense. They have strengths and weaknesses that need to be unleashed and guarded against. The team needs some new direction and fresh ideas. A top level coach.
The reason Conmebol teams are above Concacaf Is the bar Is set a lot higher for the South American players Argentina Uruguay and Colombia been on the top Brazil is close fourth. Get an Argentinian coach or an experienced international coach with that type of experience.
USMNT teams main problem is not coach, well many problems, they don't have good enough players in the backline and in the middle. Tim Ream is 36 looks like 46, Richards always looked scared and can't string along passes to go forward, Robinson is shaky at times and lost focus the rest, if Joe Scally looks best in your backline, you have a problem. Midfield dudes, Cardoso, I'm not sure what he's doing in the 2nd half, but doesn't look like starting material to me, Reyna is overhyped, McKennie pretty much disappeared. The three players that should be starting in MF are Pullisic, Mussah, and Adams, McKennie could be a WB. They need to play something like a 4-4-2.
Really lacking a reality check. The US is overhyped. Excited for players in Europe who are all bench warmers. There is no reason why their rankings should even be in the top20. They have won 6 games out of 20 vs top 20 ranked teams. Beating islands from the concacaf shouldn’t be something to be excited for
If you put Pulisic at the 9 and scrap the hold-up target man concept, we ARE as good and better than we thought.
Yes they can bounce back if they sack Berhalter. They would be better off if they hired Kim Kardashian or anyone other than him.
Reyna 3 starts and he walks in to the national team 😂
please is not the quality we competed we less is the willinging to fight for a victory this team just had no desire to win that game or even play it period. the players are at fault here
So Canada gets a draw with France A team after a big loss. It’s berhalter. We have way better players aside of Davies and J. David. Tactically we are trash.
Gregg is too stubborn to change any formation or personal it'll be the same 4-3-3 it always is.
Berhalter has to go.Gio needs to be benched.Many players are showing total apathy on the field, shame on them too.😬😬
It is as bad as we think it is
The US being in the top 20 FIFA ranking is just a mistake, we have been trying to get to an elite level but soccer is just not our sport I’m sorry, atleast not for now. it’s going to take several generations in order to go head to head with the big boys. Just being honest.
You guys just spent 10+ minutes trying to diagnose what should be a very simple problem. It's the rigidity of the system, mainly in the case of this game the insistence to play out of the back versus a skilled and intelligent team that was setting traps for any slight mistake (even to the extent of frequently using your GK who is notably bad at that aspect of the game).
It's not the number of games or minutes these guys are getting at their clubs. It's not the collective effort (or lack thereof). It's not the quality of opponents (because we also underwhelm against Costa Rica, Panama, Jamaica, T&T, etc).
What it is more than anything (and this bleeds into and compounds the factors listed above) is that GGG insists on using our team and specifically individuals in ways that don't accentuate their strengths. Even worse, he uses them in ways that expose their weaknesses.
Aside from the goal we scored, and a couple close chances (Balogun's shot saved off the line, Pulisic's header off the post), the most meaningful moment of the game that we should take something from was literally the first 30 seconds, right after we kicked off in the first half. It was "Route 1 Football". Long ball into a deep channel that leads to a throw-in near Colombia's defensive corner. That field position allows players like Gio to be close to Colombia's 18-yard box, where he can combine with teammates, eventually distributing to Balogun in an area where a half chance is created.
Imagine if we just gave a little freedom to the CBs and FBs to dump the ball forward when under pressure (or when they see that a short pass into a midfielder will immediately put that teammate under pressure in a bad spot). Imagine if instead of taking every single goal-kick short, and inevitably ending up back at Turner's nervous feet, we pushed it up field into the opponent's defensive third. We could still, and should still find moments to build from the back. But, we'd be demonstrating to the opponent that they can't just lie in wait for a mistake in our own third. That we are going to stretch them and make them play under pressure in their defensive territory. Those moments where we do see opportunities for a slower build up would then come with less pressure, and we'd generate more situations where we get deep throw-ins, free-kicks, opportunities to win second balls, etc.
However, that wouldn't be the style that GGG is insistent on us playing, so it's not going to happen under his tenure.
Welcome to CONMEBOL.
Keep coping the USMNT is out of Rythm and need an international coach to push their level of play too much pride on this team
mediocre coach gets mediocre results . Besides Charlie Davies, Im not sure the rest of the panel has the expertise to have a meaningful discussion about futbol
You got uswnt,nothing to worry
I was laughing when Mexico got thrashed by Uruguay.. but I'm not laughing anymore.
Hoping GGG is playing 4D chess for when they meet Colombia in the Quarterfinals. Lolz
European leagues have the most public attention also moved billions of dollars but Brazilian league or a Argentinian might be tougher cuz they play for scraps but also for honour and name. What Japanese exercise a code of honour into everything they do. Brazilian and Argentinian treat futbol like a religious congregation: for us is life and death. Brazilian league is one of the thoughtest league in the world. The idea that Colombian players played in SouthAmerica leagues is not treated like a step down but like a step up on futbol school. Sure not as glamorous as UEFA but is super competitive.
Most of these US players playing in Europe are there because the clubs are using them for marketing purposes. The US has no good to great players. The US has players that are rated Fair. That’s it. This crop of US is not better than US players of the past. They not better than Dempsey or Donovan or Wynalda. They just not. They are media hype.
Not only BOUNCE BACK N WIN DA WHOLE CUP AMERICAAA
where's Freddy Adu?
Careful now! The US will claim Colombia is communist because of their ball distribution.
The US jerseys were a bad touch. They need to go back to original colors.
What an excuse 😅 dest and adams should have made difference
Thats the diference when you play soccer vs FUTBOL
soccer 1 FUTBOL 5 😂😂😂
Its a friendly. Ik they need content but there really is very little to take away from this imo, theyll be fine.
It was a PREPARATION match for a tournament just days away, if these are your results during preparation matches youre in for an even bigger reality check than this 5-1 loss
Meh. Most players just arent going to get up for a friendly the way they would for a game that matters. Im not worried. @@dagosegovia843
Honestly, insufferable commentary. Getting into the weeds of BS. It's the coach and his tactics, always has been.
