Gregg putting up the 1-1 is the most embarrassing thing to happen in US soccer history
Someone said it was him telling the players to make sure they man marked players during the URU free kick
I think this opinion is really exaggerated. Even if he is letting them know the score, that doesn't mean the players will just stop playing. The players knew anyways because everyone in the crowd was shouting it to them on the field. We also don't know that the score of the other game is what his hand gestures meant. It's also a common hand gesture for one on one man marking.
I got visibly ill when I saw that on TV. I wanted to vomit at how un-American it was. I'm pretty sure at least 1 bald eagle dove straight into the ground when it happened.
He has to go. Sick and tired of his stupidity. Lineups, right position for each player, strategy, substitutions. I just decided, loving the USMNT dearly, I won't watch their games anymore, If Berhalter isn't FIRED.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
Hey! We suck! but don't worry! Bolivia is gonna get us through! Yippee!!!
Trying to put my casual friends onto the team and Gregg Berhalter chooses to embarrass us and it’s a terrible look man
This speaks for many of us. Because we want to get the USA sports base to get into soccer, but when you have incompetent and unattractive soccer, they will just revert back to their mentality that soccer is boring and made for white people only.
The federation is the problem. Klinsmann got fired for.less than Greg
Klinsmann f*cked with the GOAT (Donovan). He got his.
@FavreianVengeance donovan could have been great but didn't have the mental strength to be great. He did carry the usa for years but he wasn't great.
It's been a rough week for America all around
for sure
At least Canada and Panama are holding the banner of North and Central America up high. Then again, Mexico NOT making it to the knockouts again after failing to get into the knockouts in the last World Cup is absolutely GLORIOUS! I relish how the ESPN Deportes pundits are, and the Televisa-Univision pundits must be furious about it.
America is doing great! US isn't
This isn't the golden generation. This is the fool's gold generation.
probably true
It's DEFINITELY the "Softest Generation". Absolutely embarrassing. Not quite Trinidad/Tabago embarrassing...but holy cow! Berhalter and this "team" are FULL of these over the last 5 years. Just wait until Berhalter is KEPT on.
Which was the golden generation? The overrating of USMNT before every major tournament is embarrassing.
Yeah, Derphalter is a genius, and ALL of our players suddenly have character issues. It's not as if it could be a problem with their confidence in the head coach. Everyone in the parade is out of step but our little Gregggggy. All we need now is a 23 made up of nothing but Jordan Morrises and Walker Zimmerman's and our problems will be solved.
USA was completely phytologically destroyed this tournament. It's like they forget Futbol is a psychological sport.
Berhalter is the American version of Gareth Southgate. Both England and USMNT have arguably the best and most talented squads they’ve had for years but the managers are squandering their potential with a lack of any sort of style of play, favoritism and no decisiveness when it comes to substitutions and team selection.
100%
Did Southgate get the job because his brother is in the Federation leadership though?
It's USA, not USMNT. You don't call France FMNT or England or EMNT.
@@FavreianVengeance No, US fans call the team USMNT. Its been going on for 20 years,
That’s ball shit because this England squad is so overrated I’m England team from 1990 World Cup euros 1996 World Cup 1998 the 2000s teams from the world cups and euros all these these players from these past tournaments would easily walk in to this England squad with have no leader on the pitch if this team had Robson gazza Gerrard John Terry Rio Sol Campbell the list goes on no of these defenders could lace up the defenders from the past
Long term, if the US, Mexico, and Canada want to get better then they should push to have concacaf and conmebol merge. The clubs and national teams would benefit from playing better competition. Obviously the biggest hurdle is travel but concacaf is a black hole.
As long as this country has pay to play U.S soccer will never grow!!!
couldn't agree more
Every single youth sport in America is pay-to-play. I don't know why this is hyped so much.
@@therealking6202I heard soccer is more expensive and not as accessible to join or get to the few facilities. Parents with a lower income cannot afford to pay or send their children to these places. So usually it is rich parents who can afford it. You miss out on a great deal of talents who want to play soccer but will never or can't progress beyond playing for a small boys' club. Perhaps missing out on several 100,000 talented children who will never be able to get the chance. Basketball, American football, ice hockey and baseball are the four major sports in the USA that dominate and are biggest investment. In these sports, there is more interest in finding, scouting and picking talent from poorer areas, because that is where, for the most part, the best talents come from and becomes the best players. Usually clubs pay for these youths and sometimes sign a contract. In the soccer world, that investment or ambition does not exist.
@@therealking6202because other american sports arent competing worldwide. They play within the us abd call it a world championship.
@@ilovenovels What does pay to play have to do with world championships?!? Wrong comment thread bro.
The 1-1 fingers by GB is a physical manifestation of GB's weak mentality. in the press conference after the US was bounced out of the tourney, GB boasted that the US exceeded expected goal differential in the Panama game. To translate, that is GB bragging that the US with 10 men didn't lose to minnow Panama by two goals or more. That is such a loser mentality. And clearly this team has adopted his malaise and inadequacies.
He was doing his math homework. He was asking the team "How much is 1 and 1?!? Me don't understand."
Our keeper stable is the worst it's been in generations. The one thing we could hang our hat on as a USMNT team was elite level keepers, and they were one of the key reasons that the US was always a tricky opponent for decades. Matt Turner is probably a really nice guy. He was also benched by a relegation-level club for making the same kind of mistakes he's making on the national team. We can't play out of the back consistently with a keeper that can't use his feet. And our backup keeper was a benchwarmer for the benchwarmer in the same relegation-level club for half the year. Who is currently the best American keeper that is actually starting for his club team day after day? I want that guy.
Also the fact that Turner is okay with the direction the team is taking should be a reason why he should be benched.
Good point.
American football should start from the ground up Natural grass field + promotion and relegation agent
The pitch in all the games so far looks horrendous.
You need to monopolize youth soccer. There are way too many playstyles in the NT they never mesh well, it looks like a pickup game every time. No cohesion. Watch the Euros, most teams have some sort of identity based on the style played in the country. What is the style in the US? It varies wildly from state to state. Until you develop a unique American playstyle and the MLS stops being a retirement spot for washed players, you will never have a good NT.
US Men’s soccer and MLS wouldn’t even sniff last place of the English Champions league.
Weird, cuz you see Canada and it's MLS players surprising a few teams
Lets be honest, USA as a football team aint gonna go anywhere
Having no consequences for terrible actions or decisions is basically par for the course when it comes to the US on the world stage. And I say that as an American myself. So really when you think about it, the USSF is actually just carrying on the American tradition of never being held accountable for your actions no matter how badly you fuck up or how many lives you ruin. It's poetic really.
They need to privatize the team. If the USMNT were a privately owned soccer team, there is no way they would have allowed GB to manager after the first season.
If you tell ur players to not win and
To take the game easy, you have failed as a manger
100%
But.... that's not what he was telling them. That's just what dumb fans want to think so it can fit their narrative. The fact that anyone can even interpret it that way boggles my mind.
Results. Results. Results. This is what we are ALL measured by in our own jobs. Berhalter, plain and simple, has not produced RESULTS and is consistently out-coached. WHY is he not sacked by TODAY!?
I’m shocked we haven’t seen him fired yet
I'm not. He will never lose this job. It's his for life unless he resigns. MLS loves their boy.
This is almost like a younger person's version of the Straight Red Card show, with less cursing.
You got to add the ridicolous ticket prices.
good point
If people are paying, then they're not that ridiculous.
@@FavreianVengeancethey weren’t paying though 😂. Half the stadiums were empty for USA games
@@captaincrunch1707 Then well done. The media is bragging about their ticket sales though. So clearly the federation's partners don't respect the fans either.
@@captaincrunch1707Agreed. Was at the Panama game and probably at 65% capacity.
This team has really given me a newfound appreciation for the Donavan/Dempsey/Tim Howard era of USMNT.
That team almost won a Confederations Cup against Brazil in 2009, if it wasn't for Luis Fabiano. Almost.
@@lucianopivetta6066 that team lead by Donavan in 2013 won a gold cup championship and Donavan was playing lights out. Then next year the team led by Dempsey and Howard in the World Cup also made it to the round of 16 and barely lost in an absolute nail biting defeat to Belgium.
The state of this team now is sad.
And here I thought coaches did 1-1 when they wanted to say “each of you defend by sticking next to each of them”
That's typically is what it means. It's for man marking. None of us really know what exactly the hand gesture was for. It could have been telling them the other game score. Or it could have been telling them to man mark. Either way, I don't think it's a big deal like others are making it out to be. They are proffesional palyers and they are not gonna give up on playing just because Bolivia scored.
No...lol...you're never going to go "1 - 1!" meaning man marking. Maybe you could make that argument, except for his expression. That's not the expression you make when you're telling your team how to mark. It's clear what he was saying. "1-1! I might get away with this!"
@@brianbalcergregg confirmed after it was telling them the score
Nailed it, love the channel, keep up the good work
Aside from Gregg putting up 1-1, the worst part of the tournament was switching to a back 5 against Panama. Even down a man, why the hell would we sit back against f***ing Panama....
Correct
If this guy is still managing in two years, I'm completely done with the national team. If I get the chance to see the US in one of the WC matches I'm going to, I won't even wear one of my many USA jerseys. In fact, I might buy like a Kettering Town jersey and put Greggy's name on the back, because that's the level of team he should be managing, and even that may be too high.
I would have him interview to coach my daughter's U12 team. Still not sure he's at that level.
They would welcome this. The last thing they need is intelligent football fans questioning their decisions.
@@todwest The intelligent fans already spoke up when this guy was appointed out of nowhere. Nobody within US Soccer cared. The only thing left to do is cut ties. No buying jerseys/merchandise, no going to matches.
They hate our guts already as it is. We have matches against Mexico down in lower California or Texas to appease the Mexicans. These matches should be in Seattle, Buffalo, etc. The Mexicans do us no favors (as they shouldn't by the way), so, why should we do them any?
You guys are pretty good! Glad i found the channel!
Gregg Berhalter should be tried for High Treason
couldn't agree more
US soccer can have as many enthusiastic fans as it wants, but as long as this is not reflected in the leadership of the governing body, there will be no development.
American tears taste so sweet
This type of incompetence would never be tolerated if the team was privately owned. If this were a privately owned sports team, the manager would have been fired after a couple of seasons. USSF is acting like if they are some government entity. They seem to be afraid of firing Greg for some reason.
100000% no accountability
Is there any other Federation that is privately owned? Private ownership sounds like an idiotic idea.
@@lennyjenkins9931 Why is it an idiotic idea? We are one of the wealthiest countries on Earth. We have the money and resources to hire the best coaches. We shouldn't be limited by a poorly run federation.
This is my first time watching this podcast and sheesh these guys are GOOD. I thought I’d tune in for a sec or two and see their thoughts about all this and I ended up just watching the whole thing and not even realizing. Great work out there I pray God continues to bless you guys! 💯
Keep up the good work boys. Do some MLS pods as well. Go STL SC!!
It’s sad just by calling it soccer 😂
Great video g
Just one Q. How many of these guys play every single minutes in europe ? How many of these guys are the guys or a leader or a leader on european pitches every 3 days or in eufa champion league ? NONE ! Europeans club hire us players not because they got skills or they are top players but only for market them in america. US players earns 10 time money in Europe they would earn in MSL and they never play every 3 days like of all top players do.
Thank you. The tone of your voice is the voice of the people. Same simmering rage but a unfortunate resignation.
Bald Eagles dove into the ground the second Gregg threw up the 1-1. THAT is how Un-American it was. I swear to god, I inexplicably wanted to use the METRIC SYSTEM upon seeing it.
Funny how well all the metric system europeans play though... hilarious how people also assume _not counting goals to not offend children_ in practice was _unamerican._ Nobody else does it.
The Usmnt are "nice" kids who are not full "men". They lack an "edge", ruthlessness and maturity to compete at elite levels. We are stuck in the middle. Not bad but not good. Coaches. Players. Administrators. Big differences getting exposed. We have berhalter. They have "el loco" bielsa. Aye carumba. P.s. midfields rule in international play. Our midfield is average at best. Evidence - 2002 usa midfield. The results speak for themselves. I am of Croatian and Portuguese descent. (Modric & Figo) "Master" midfields make everything else better. We have come light years, but have light years to go. Degrees of difficulty. Going 90 to 100 is harder than 0 to 90. Aye carumba.
As much as I’d like to blame, Greg, our players suck on the field mainly because we don’t develop talent in the MLS and keep them here but ship them out to Europe where they get no playing time. We’re the richest country in the world and we can’t pay the best players to come and play in our own league. That’s pathetic.. that’s why our players haven’t gotten any better since 1994.
They can absolutely pay to keep them. It has to do with stepping up to the challenge of European leagues in order to take the next step in development, lets face it, MLS is amateur league compared to them and would completely stunt their development. As for why that is, theres many reasons. No relegation to demand clubs to stay competitive, no youth development academies to develop players, cap restrictions on clubs, lack of quality continental competitions like Champions League. I could go on
McKinnie will be an important part of nothing until he loses the extra weight.
The US is so overrated the only team they play good against is Mexico. There no excuses here they should have beat Panama and if they are a top team like they considered themselves they shouldn’t lose to Uruguay. Outside of CONCACAF the US has no business.
Concacaf overall is overrated. USA and Mexico out in the group stage 🤦♂
facts
US and Mexico would miss every world cup if they had to qualify through the euros
On the bright side, I was able to find some good soccer channels like this one. Gregg represents a losing mentality and his entire coaching career shows it. 6 yrs of mediocrity, many losses, minimal amount of goals and zero signature wins. Shame on the USSF for bringing him back after the World Cup debacle and still not firing Gregg after this disastrous Copa America 2024. Its time for Gregg to go and if not, its time to replace members of USSF. Im tired of this sh1tfest.
USA coaches are not event relevant in the top level leagues as potential assistant coach candidates. USA coaches are so bad. We need to start hammering how incompetent the USA coaches are. We tell the players they need to go to Europe to prove themselves, we need to do the same with USA coaches, because they are so awful.
Seeing US fans losing their sh!t together.Puts a smile on my face😁
Pulisic pops up and scores big goals because in normal circumstances, having a lay-off target 9 gives you nothing but low-scoring losses and draws. Staying within that system in open play just means he'll be defended by the sideline and left to make Hail Mary crosses. He needs to be dead center with no job description other than dribbling central defenders and shooting past keepers. That's the only place he ever scores from; against run of play and head down. That break he almost had before the bad call to return to the spot of foul was a perfect example. That's not Gregg's "system". That's just what Puli is good for. You won't see him get neat shots or assists after a worked buildup with probes and switches. If he could play anything other than Hero Ball up top, we'd have seen it by now.
this why tactics are fundamentally failing the team
I'd rather get an experienced international coach than a club coach who might be looking for a slower paced job. Firstly, if someone is in the mindset that they are taking a job as a slowdown from what they are used to, I don't think you are getting them at 100% committed. Secondly, the international game is so different than long league seasons, in terms of how you motivate and strategize. We shouldn't try to fit a square peg in a round hole, even if the square peg is a really good one. Hire someone with proven success in tournament play. Renaud would be my top candidate. I'd be speaking with his agent right now, while letting him personally focus on the Olympics with France's women's team. Ideally we then heat up the recruitment to close the summer and into the fall.
But there are plenty of others too. Just look at how many teams in the Euros, from unheralded countries, have caused real problems for world powers. Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Switzerland, etc. Or even look into our part of the world. Last week wasn't the first time Thomas Christiansen's well drilled Panama team bested Berhalter's tactics and far superior squad.
international soccer is different
You have to start calling it football, you can’t become great at a sport you don’t even respect enough to call it by its name, you need to respect a sport to become great at it, goes for every sport, football included
Great Pod guys, talking about a big body midfielder, Tanner Tessmann is that guy I think. Just bought by Inter from Venezia and loaned back for the new Serie A season. He was Venezia's highest rated player on sofascore. hes a big body, good with booth feet, set piece taker, and has quality in passing. would love to see him get some time in the main camp and challenge for a spot.
Since he is good, Gregg igmores him. I had him starting years back.
Even Reyna was probably inserted by Greggs higher ups.
What good does it do the players to "step up" if the coach is making them use lose-or-draw tactics, such as a lay-off target forward?
PAY-FOR-PLAY for a sport that never rewards college scholarships! THAT IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE. I have kids who played club soccer and AAU basketball. Soccer was extremely expensive and the ones that can afford stayed until highschool. In basketball, travel teams get players even from playgrounds, middle schools. Recruiting the very best COZ THE SPORT IS CHEAP!!! And it rewards them better for college easily. Now you see the difference and why we will continue to SUCK.
There's no YOUTH ACADEMIES in the USA? Seriously?!
@@lucianopivetta6066 the best of the best young American athletes may play football at a young age, but most of them drop it as they become more serious with their careers for the more popular and lucrative sports in the USA(American football, basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, etc).
@@onlydbrasko dear Lord!
Jedi as well as Scally are told to play high school soccer (Berhalter Ball) stare down and just whip crosses in to no avail whilst not even CONSIDERING the middle of the pitch!
Bring in Mourinho to put the fear of god into these rich kids... He is the best for that kind of winning mentality!
You guys are understating just how bad Turner is with the ball, this tournament he was 7/42 (16.7%)long balls and 40/76 (52.6%) that is pathetic and hurts the team more than you let on.
I heard soccer is more expensive and not as accessible to join or get to the few facilities. Parents with a lower income cannot afford to pay or send their children to these places. So usually it is rich parents who can afford it. You miss out on a great deal of talents who want to play soccer but will never or can't progress beyond playing for a small boys' club.

Usually clubs pay for these youths and sometimes sign a contract. In the soccer world, that investment or ambition does not exist.
You guys hit the nail on the head in terms of the mentality. Besides GGG's utter lack of tactical answers, he's allowed the team and USSF to be lulled into a false sense that some meaningful culture-building has occurred under his watch. It's absolute bullshit. Culture in professional sports isn't about how much teammates and/or coaches like each other, or how secure they all feel in their respective roles. That's what beer leagues are for. The only culture that matters in professional sports is a winning culture, and that typically only comes if you have hardened personalities who refuse to settle for mediocre.
On this point, and to also connect the dots with your comments about Weston's poor play. After our loss to Panama he was photographed at a local hookah lounge around midnight. We literally just suffered a terrible defeat, in part because of poor mentality by one of his teammates, and that's what he decided to do afterwards. A guy who is clearly not near top physical fitness, in a smoke-filled lounge. A guy who's been left off the squad before due to off-field decisions. But, he doesn't respect the coach and/or he knows real accountability for such actions isn't going to be applied.
One other thing that really stands out to me in this same vein are the press conferences or even pre-recorded montages where certain players (usually Pulisic and Adams) talk about the pride of representing the country. It all comes off as super scripted to me. Like these guys have been drilled since their days with the youth teams about how much of an honor it is, but that they don't actually feel it to the degree that their well polished talking points suggest. They don't actually know what it would be like to not have that opportunity, because it's always been afforded to them (injuries aside). It's a culture of entitlement and dressed up with one-liners about "the crest". And I really like both of those players. I'm not even trying to blame them. It's what they've been taught, by a plastic federation.
All the US channels love crap MMA WEAH. It is funny.
Gregg Berhalter should never have been hired in the first place. Some people want to credit him for bringing the team together, but look at the results! Two players got red cards for hitting other players. When has this ever happened before? Why does he play Renya so far back, and why can't he change a game with tactics for substitutions? Matt Betty Crocker should also be on the hot seat because if he doesn't get this new hire right, he has to go, too. Crocker had to admit that he was wrong for bringing Berthalter back, unlike Berhalter, who constantly blamed the players. USSF needs to make better decisions and break up this nepotism even more.
Calm down dude.
Soy Milk
The best mid play we had was from DLT's short run.
Derphalter WILL NOT BE FIRED. I don't see how it is that people don't understand this. He's a pliant stooge and they need him in place to make sure MLS is well represented on the final WC roster for '26. I think there's a good chance he'll be there for the next cycle as well. He's their boy and he'll jump when ordered.
At this point, I would prefer bunker ball + counter attacking. The player pool has shown they are out of depth handling a more controlling, progressive, attacking style of soccer. Until a good core of them can prove that at the highest levels of football, we just have to accept the fact that we can only play bunker ball soccer.
@11:40 Bielsa will deeply regret not resting players in the next round.
Little fact about soccer: It is my opinion that soccer comes from the full name of the sport, which is "association football". Specifically, from the "association" part.
Also: I'm still baffled how US Soccer could rehire Berhalter. I mean, he at least isn't worse than Jürgen Klinsmann, but after all the shitshow with Claudio Reyna and his son, I thought he's be blackballed from US football.
Weah is a bigger reason for not advancing. It's probably for the best to get a new manager for a change but putting the blame on GB is crazy.
Weah puts his team down a man for 70+ minutes against Panama. Still, Balogun gets a goal but there's so much energy wasted on marking an extra man.
Refs rule an obviously offside goal for Uruguay as being on along with other crazy decisions that game. Nothing we can do there.
I would have liked to see Zimmerman alongside Ream but it's understandable to not want to select a guy coming back from injury.
I believe Reyna did have his best ping in the second half of Uruguay...like you guys say, who is a better option than Reyna? This team has good surface level talent - Berhalter is our biggest issue and even though Brandon Vazquez did not pop off in Liga MX , he has hold up ability, passing, size and decision making our team could use.
there r way too many cuts in this, why cut to the guy who aint even talking 😂😂
I disagree. This is an average, normal night for US soccer.
disagree
Would be a shame is Cowell didn’t make the Olympics roster 🙃
"It's all Gregg's fault." Player analysis: the midfield was awful the entire tournament. Jedi wasnt great. Should Scally be replaced? Weah 0-10, if we don't get a red card we go thru.
Realistically, this young team makes huge mistakes over and over again. Richard's was crap. Pulisic wasn't great. Weston struggled at times, Musah disappeared, Pepi missed too many chances, and Weah and CCV cost Gregg his job.
Brazil's National Team is also mediocre, don't worry!
I’m not the greatest soccer mind but I really do hate that Greg keeps throwing Tyler Adams at the 10. Especially in a system where we try to build out of the back and relying on the distribution of our midfielders. Tyler Adams is more of a CDM to me. Gio Reyna would be far better at the 10/CAM
Brighter days ahead for USA Soccer 🤞
I think the mentality is really lacking in this team. The top players are comfortable and relaxed. There is a serious lack of intensity and urgency with this team. We need a new coach to put some fear in these players and elevate them to a new level.
guys, american must still playing basketball, american football and baseball you're world class on those sports. You guys have tons of resources to one day will be champions on a copa america´s or the semifinals or maybe will be in a world cup final and please dont americanize football
That is what hideous LED screens and VAR are. Already happened.
The fact that people are so mad the US didn’t advance just shows the level of incompetence from the US fans. You all act like by virtue of being “Merican” and just showing up that you demand to be respected as equal to the top teams in the world. Only suffering from delusions of grandeur could one argue that we are among the favorites to win… despite never once producing a side that has actually been truly competitive.
When walking down the team, there are two players who actually play a lot AND play decent for their side. Robinson and Pulisic. And to be fair, neither are world class but you get productivity out of them. None of the other guys start regularly. Reyna never played at Dortmund and was essentially garaged saled to a team most likely going down next year and he doesn’t play for them either. Turner lost his spot because he is as reliable as Biden is to make sense. McKennie was the fortunate recipient of two lucky incidences where Juve got hit with an FFP violation and a points deduction last year and Pogba got hit with a 4 year ban, essentially meaning they could not really change up their side or buy new players, even in the winter transfer. Don’t believe me, McKennie did not travel with Juve to the US for their summer tour when Pogba was active. They said they didn’t need him. Now, Motta told him he has no future at Juve. Not sure who wants another American Squad player.
And these examples go on and on. Our best players are productive yet mediocre. If Pulisic got injured, Chukweze comes in and probably helps balance Milan to take some of the attacking load of Leao. In short, Milan’s level doesn’t go down. There isn’t a single player on our team that is truly relied on by their club teams. You cannot have a successful national team if you have a team of less than mediocre cogs unless you have an absolutely world class coach… which Berhlater is not haha! The players, the coach, and the federation are all ignorant and incompetent and I hope you all keep these same excuses for failure because you will need them in two years.
it was too early to get that TRED CARD...and put the team at risk like that...
Question, why does USWNT have Emma Hayes and the men don't have a top flight gaffer
You’re just the guy after the fact. If Uruguay did not score , there would have nothing to his action at that point.
The only reason we should keep Greg is if there’s a tournament where the team with the most ties wins the tournament
I've been watching the national team since 94. This is the softest team I've ever seen. They get punched and can't do anything
both us and mex are not top 20
Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Colombia are certainly top 10, add Spain, Germany, England, Netherlands, France, and maybe Portugal, that's top10
now the rest of the 20 teams, Ecuador has to be one, maybe also Venezuela, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Belgium, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Japan... yeah not top 20, top 30 sure
Yeah, the “perfection” pitch isn’t going to cut it.
This team is already down & if you’re demanding “perfection” from a group that’s already NOT met their potential (thus far) and they know/hear/see that, you will lose them. They will point fingers. They will resent each other.
As a coach, I don’t “preach” anything to my players. You motivate them to understand they are capable of more and to shoot for excellence in discipline, patriotism (for this nat’l team) & grit. Use the pillars of what this nation is (blue collar) and match a playing style that goes with those pillars.
ONLY THEN can we expect this team to play well. But if we sit here and bitch/moan about perfection about this “golden generation”, we will be let down again.
The US have surpassed Mexico in what exactly? Last time I checked, Mexico are still the current champions in North and Central America and are still the record champions. Please don't give me the FIFA world rankings now, they say exactly nothing. The US are ranked higher than Uruguay, Germany, Switzerland, Colombia, Denmark, Austria, Poland, Panama or the African champions Ivory Coast. These are all teams that would, or have, kicked the USA's ass. And also in terms of its reputation in the soccer world, Mexico has historically and will continue to have a higher standing than the USA in the coming years.
They played well but it still isn’t good enough especially with a team this talented
Thing is it's a young team that needs some experience, character is built by experience, you've got a young, talented squad, but you need some experienced high charachter guys around the camp(whether it be coaches or players), Berhalter doesn't have that level of character, really you don't even need a big name, expensive coach (besides Jurgen Klopp would probably only coach Germany if he took a national job) personally id go for Joachim Low (providing he still wants to be a manager) experienced hand, good with younger players, he brought that a sensational German generation through, even a Mauricio Pochettino (forget about what happened at Chelsea, that club's a been a total mess in recent times) a guy that's good at developing young guys
I love Turner, but his distribution was horrible.
Sargent is better in the air and holding the ball up. Haji is a better finisher
This squad has no toughness or leadership, besides the obvious GGG issue. There is no Jermaine Jones to lay it on somebody and no Dempsey/Timmy who will get on players who aren't performing. Pulisic is good but he is soft as shit where that is concerned.
If 35 year old Tim ream is our best option at cb that’s a big issue no one talks about yes he is good and has been great for us but he will be 38 39 come World Cup
30:25 coping….if he was good enough he would’ve kept playing soccer and earn just as much in Europe, so soccer not being big in the US shouldn’t be an issue
imagine thinking Patrick Vieira will want to coach the US lmao
It's even more comical and delusional when you remember other pundits want Pep or Klopp.
Vieira would easily do it. Klopp, Zidane, others have exactly a 0% chance
You need to stop. US don't have the players because of the pay to play system. We're not getting the best players. It's too expensive.
Fire Gregg but USMNT don't have the talent with the exception of Capt America.
This team is fraudulent after all the buzz of them being good players
That hand gesture on a set piece is typically for man marking. I have a feeling a lot of "fans" are complaining over nothing just for the sake of complaining. Even if he was telling them the score, that wouldn't make any difference.
Bro Gregg said it himself it's in one of the post game interviews. Let's not try and deny the obvious.
@@mnbvmnbv7934 whichever way ot has no impact on the players and game
ELO RATING!!!
stop thumping mentality - tactics and player profiles matter more than anything. No technicians in midfield ofc theres no control there
I’m sick of the GGG discourse. He sucks. We get it. The real story here is that our players are overrated as fuck. Pulisic is the only leader on the team. Everyone else is pampered soft background roll players for their European teams. McKinnie is a joke. Pepi is a joke. Whoever is next manager needs to seriously shake up our player pool.
This is how i know you don't watch any of the players. Cardoso played amazing for Betis, McKennie was easily one of Juve's best players. Aarob was one of the best Fullbacks in the PL this season, at least whatch the players before you open your mouth.
Tim Weah screwed us
Crocker out!!!! Berhalter out!!!!
Chill 😂Mexico did the same shiit when they were losing against Costa Rica an th USA save us from not going to the World Cup 😂😂😂😂
