Please. He is solid but we need a coach who knows how to max this talent and has won in europe. Greg doesnt bring excitement. If we dont fire him , its stubborness
As an American, who loves USMNT, let me be clear. We as supporters are delusional, we do not have the quality, nothing special about this current so-called golden generation we have.
Average players don’t tie Brazil a couple weeks ago. The US does well despite a horrific coach. Yes they under achieve but let’s not act like they are St. kits and nevis.
@@LuisA-fc3oxLOL a friendly? Mexico tied Germany a couple months ago nobody cared😭 USA are not good. Having average players in average European teams don’t make you good. Mexico had all 11 back in 2015-2019 playing in Europe like USA does now and nothing happened. Look at the reality and that is that the USA is AVERAGE.
@@LuisA-fc3ox Delusional, anybody outside concacaf don’t care about friendlies, not even Europeans. Friendlies are played to tried new players and team play, we all know this.
totally disagree, last night the US showed lots of heart, watch the game it was a battle, trust me I know soccer and that was a really tough match and a beauty to watch
People like Lalas and the other analysts they have such arrogant attitude. Ur not at the level of the rest of the world. Probably u will never be. Still countries everywhere in Europe, Asia ans Africa understand the honour to be part of a great tournament. Instead of complaining you should be proud. Ur good in the Concacaf that let’s face it, it isn’t the best play offs, in fact is the easiest of all the world. There’s no competition there.
Come on Carli, stop comparing the men’s national team with women’s national team. USMNT is a tiny fish in the ocean, whereas USWNT is a big fish in a small pond. See the difference?
@@cryptic_shockand the womens national team is struggling because of it… back when the Uswnt were winning back too too back too back too back too back world cups and Olympics the uswnt were the only womens national team on the planet having female players playing regularly in a league none of the other countries didn’t even have women’s leagues until the early 2000s so was just a bunch of part timers going against a bunch of pros…
Ahh the mighty France scored 1 more goal while being the 2nd ranked team lol. Point is we won a game lost to Argentina and drew the Chileans. We took care of our business.
@@maxgonzalez214because it’s true. The team doesn’t win so the country doesn’t care about it. Winning is the number one priority for this country. The American public does not care about draws or moral victories. They don’t care how hard it truly is to win in international competitions. Delusional as that sounds it is the truth.
They should have let Berhalter go when the whole scandal was going on, but no they wanna choose Money over legacy. This federation and Coach has put the players standards at an all time LOW! No wonder they all want him to stay, the whole team is just too cozy and comfortable. They dont wanna get uncomfortable with a new coach. Im not saying for the USMNT to win the World Cup, but im sure all of us as a nation are ready for a new cycle and process to just get going for the promising future. This "Golden" generation just thinks putting the jersey is good enough. It's so disappointing. Thanks USSF....
They were. Things happen, bad decisions are made, but if you play the tournament a hundred times the US are only behind Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, and Brazil.
@@joevlogs1279Uruguay is a beatable team. However, One of the biggest enemies of the United States soccer is the pay for play nonsense. In the United States soccer is a upper middle class and female sport and will remain so until you remove the pay for play nonsense. Pay for play limits the pool of talent in the United States. Pay for play is Rubbish and must go
He just isn’t capable of beating good teams. Any coach in any sport that had this much of a chance on the world stage coming up in two years would be fired for these performances. It’s a pattern of underperforming. The look on Greg’s face in stoppage time as he sat on the bench contemplating life, shows he’s ready to move on. He expects it. What message do we send as a federation if we take a dude with that much belief in himself onto the World Cup??
_"…ussf is only interested in nepotism, cronyism and profit"_ Profit? Kinda interesting that now (what is the core of your whole sports industries) profit should be reason that it isn’t working out? Isn’t nepotism and/or cronyism enough to dig deeper and replace the root cause instead of dealing with a "symptom" like Berhalter? Because _"Der Fisch stinkt vom Kopf!"_ …
So you have now woken to the fact that US soccer is all about profit, first and foremost? Keep thinking on it! In time you will realise that’s why US football will always be the Cinderella of world football! Putting all the blame on Berhalter’s shoulders for the USMNT dismal failures is downright wrong.
Yeah.. They even gatekeep how many coaches can get their licenses, so even trying to be a national coach is difficult to achieve. The corruption runs deep.
I would also recommend a change. A lot of good work has been done, but a new coach would reenergize the team. A coach who has competed for a long time in the Spain, Germany, the UK, France or Italy who has a style that builds on the work that has been done. Someone who has competed in the Bundesliga or the premiership who speaks English or someone who can work with a translator. I also think that the coach has to look carefully at those players on the field who are not playing regularly during the season. Having players on the pitch who are coming from important teams but who are not playing regularly may or may not work, it’s a risky thing. Last, we have to stop thinking that we are going to win or we should win because we are the US. Most teams have arguments compete. Look at England almost being defeated by Slovakia in regular time after tying 1-1 against Denmark or tying 0-0 against Slovenia. They only won to Serbia 1-0 in regular time. That’s soccer, you don’t win a game because you are better, you win when you compete better than the other team on the pitch.
sorry but being a woman my self the reason uswnt is successful is just because women's football is under devolopped and under funded in most nations for now men's football is the elite and where the top quality team for almost every country is for now and maybe in the futur too ,one more thing is that women's football doesn't get a lot of views compared to the men's so people relate more with the men's so stop comparing women's football to the men's you're dammaging women's football by this they are different sports
Bingo. US women faced office workers from thailand at world cup finals... and most european teams still include semipros today. The only thing is... men aren't just funded either. It simply doesn't attract the same masses - just like you said.
I completely agree ! The day Football Powerhouses started proper funding their women team , the days of USWNT will be numbered and they will struggle against most European , Latin American teams in the near future. 2023 FIFA World Cup has already shown the glimpses thats awaits US womens team who upto now had enjoyed football dominance mainly because Popular football countries didn't focus on their women. But the change is happening now and evident how Spain Dominated against USWNT in a friendly match. I won't be surprised if uswnt don't make it to the knockout stages in future FIFA events.
@@mouna5252elle I will disagree on the second half of your comment, the stadium was no way full at Arrowhead, however the USWNT would definitely fill up a stadium and get more viewership on TV.
@@hardkore360in that part i was talking about the women's football in general the US and canada's case is different than the rest of the world because their womens are more successful but still i've watched a game between USWNT and CAWNT played in the us and the stadium was almost empty just look at the women's world cup yes there was some attendance ( thanks to the low ticket prices and the kindness of australians) but it was no where near the men's world cup .look football is a physical sport so a women would never have an edge over a man in this sport and casual people would always love to watch football at its highest level so they would normaly watch the men's football there is a reason why champions league football gets more views over some random league game its still the same sport but different levels we need to admit that but that doesn't mean that women's football is irrelevant it will still have its fans but i just hate it when people start making comparisons between these two just like this lady did it makes us look like half brained idiots while we all know the truth
"We don't want to see Canada get out of the group"...and this is exactly why so many around the world can't stand US soccer teams. Arrogance and so condescending. The US disrespected Panama thought they would just roll over and hand them the 3 points and they got beaten.
The average of games played by a MLS player is 34 per year/seson. Premier League: 38. La Liga: 38. etc. In the last 2 seasons, the players of Manchester City played 43 and 65 matches respectively (total, but excluding national team games). In the last 12 months, Argentina played 8 international friendlies. USMNT played 3 in 2024 and 4 in 2023. The team is simply not prepared.
I don't blame it on that. Though MLS has its own shortcomings. Frankly I think MLS like the WNBA is trash by design. But the USA has shown that this is not a big part of the equation when it comes to their success. Frankly, it's the execs and their trash coach. And it's not going to change. And how will you know I'm right? Just watch. A competent federation would send a strong message and fire Burkhalter within 24 hours if not 48 hours. Just watch.
The naiveness of the US coach is staggering and should be fired now! You sent your players to "muscle" la " Garra Charrua" which lasted 25 minutes, then Uruguayo played comfortably enough at 40% to stop the US and not lose..fire him now!
Agree 100% . As soon as the game started I liked the energy from the USMNT, pressing and such, but then after I saw they were just trying to play the hard physical game that Uruguay is known for . I gave up on us at that point because I felt we weren’t playing to our strengths but played to their strengths. Like in basketball, when a team forces you to play their style of play you’re just living on a prayer .
I was 11 y.o. when the World Cup was held in the States. People used to say back then that the US would be at the level of european powerhouses in no time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@carlosavila9977 That mantra dates back to 1967 and the formation of the North American Soccer League and really took off in the 1970s with retiring European and South American Stars like Cruyff, Beckenbauer and Pelé (along with then household American names like Shep Messing and Werner Roth who were the most recent products of the American youth soccer movement) bringing in record crowds to watch the games. The idea was that the American youth soccer movement would immediately explode with talent. The problem was (and still remains today) the lack of knowledgeable youth coaches who grew up playing the game in neighborhood streets and Cul de Sacs, mastering the essential ball control techniques demonstrated by the Dutch coaching legend Wiel Coerver, who developed a VHS video series teaching essential ball skills to Dutch youth. ua-cam.com/users/Coerver . With the overwhelming domination and popularity of baseball, football and basketball in the United States, which virtually absorbs all of the greatest athletes out of the pool of soccer players available to develop into world class soccer players, it is doubtful the U.S. will ever develop enough quality soccer players to field a competitive World Cup team.
As German I was 13 yo then. I loved the US team and they were great pioneers and characters around Meola and Dooley unfortunately their successors made less progress. I know Dempsey, Jones, Donovan, Pulisic.. that's pretty much it 🤷🏿
Progression! What Progression when we can't beat a B Panama team who were missing 4 o 5 regular players and we were playing them at home and infront of our fans..😢
Stop right there!!! As european I can't stop laughing when they compare men to the women. US women won 95% against amateurs on their high... for men, you 99% only face pros.
that woman was delusional. im a woman while i do like womans football but 90% of countries dont even invest in it barley any league, in comparison to the huge money men get in this sport, so obviously its gonna be all amateurs, the Us probably invested the most,
@@LuisA-fc3ox its not about who's fault its about this delusional woman comparing mens team to the women's team success, its like comparing oranges to apples, if there was the same investment and interest in the game from the womens part, the US womens team wont even qualify to the world cup. harsh but true
The players sounded so weak and feckless in their postgame interviews. Burkhalter only spouted buzz words that meant nothing in his postgame press conference. If this federation does business as usual, they will have the same loser results.
Lets be honest EVEN if we got the BEST coach lets see Pep lets say Klopp lets say Ancelotti whoever….we aint gonna do much in 2026. We dont have the depth or the top end talent to go deep into a competition without insane luck and some ref shenanigans on our side. Greece did it in Euro 2004?? But other than Morocco last time out most of the deep runs are stacked teams, we are minnows in the world game, my hope is to play well and with heart like a Georgia or Austria in this years euros
@@DerekLangdon Im not sure the set up matters, as ling as the sport keeps growing popularity wise with older kids amd adults more kids will choose it as their main sport, were already seeing much more talent playing overseas, we need to triple or quadruple that current number to have the depth of the best in the world. I mean Uruguay brought in Suarez and Bentancur as subs
@@marceloestebanvignolocastr471 Canadiense aquí. Cierto, tarjeta roja contra Perú y Chile, dos partidos seguidos. Muchos dirán que Canadá lo tuvo fácil. No lo niego, pero considere esto: Esas cosas son parte del fútbol. No es la primera vez que ocurre, y no será la última. Hay muchas selecciones del pasado que tuvieron recorridos relativamente fáciles para llegar al campeonato (todos campeonatos confundidos), y eso es parte del juego. Las tarjetas son parte del juego también. Si la situación fuera invertida y Canadá hubieran tenido la tarjeta roja, dirían que Chile tuvo suerte? El objetivo del fútbol es GANAR. La manera de llegar a dicho objetivo, importa poco. Si resulta que es la suerte, pues no conozco ni un solo equipo que lo rechazaría.
Man come off you got a booster seat to the 2and round, they threw y'all a bone now go lick it Because Tonight you'll be licking your wounds, one and done out of the tourney. Cause Canada improved, but your still a minnow An average team like the Venecos will bounce you out good riddens concacaf and stay on the porch puppy dog
The arrogance is beyond belief. This group is so deluded and believe they are better than they are. Making statements like Canada getting out of the group? Deal with it and hold the ‘L’.
They can't accept the fact that Canada is in the Knockout stage and not them. They said they didn't want to see Canada move on to the next round, well I don't think anyone in Canada wanted the US to move on. I'm happy Canada is in and US is not.
@@DavesFootballChannel Does it really have to be spelled out for you, that IDENTITY includes hard work? Jesus, we have some of the stupidest supporters on the planet, I swear
The funny thing about listening to U.S. analysts is that they don't realize how they sound after being grouped. They keep looking down on teams that competed better than them and insist on the "great talent" that their team supposedly has. What they don't know is that they're like the suckers playing poker. When you sit down at the poker table and you can't tell who the sucker is, that means you're the sucker. When the Copa America draw went down, everyone wanted to be in the same group as the U.S. to avoid having Argentina, Brazil or even Mexico as group headliners. This means that Uruguay, Panamá and Bolivia were ecstatic to be in a group with the weakest "top team" out of the 4 groups.
@@AyoJerry Dude, footballing countries have a lot more respect for Mexico than they do for the U.S. at the international level. Outside of CONCACAF, the U.S. has not accomplished anything, while Mexico has done some things like winning Olympic medals, Under-17 World Cups and reaching Copa America Finals. I'm from Panama myself and I can tell you that we were happy with the draw we got because we knew we had a puncher's chance against the USMNT and then we could beat Bolivia. That's exactly how it went down.
Pundits forgetting to give credit to Uruguay; the team that's capable of holding off and defeating Argentina in Argentina. Uruguay loved this game; they break you down, demoralize you, and then score 1 or 2 ect...
8:33 the idea that the USA lost because of progressive politics is hilarious. Canada got out of their group and is arguably more progressive than the states. The USA isn’t as good as you think
My daughter ,10, is playing at a good club and in their training, they seldom train how to pass and run. They do scrimmages all the time. The player selection focuses on athletics. Last night I watched the game on a Chinese TV channel. The commenter said, US is like a bunch of very athletic guys playing soccer. I am not saying the Chinese team is doing better but the commenter has a point. What we don’t have is good club level coaches that teach how to pass and run and pass and run. And we don’t have inner city kids playing because soccer is for the riches that costs 3k+ a year to play.
Talent is what lacks, you can have all the athletic guys you want but that’s not the formula. It’s that talent that only few are born with that combined with athleticism makes them top players. Messi would have never been Messi if he didn’t have talent, Barcelona saw it and put him on a hormone therapy to make him develop the athleticism he lacked and look at him now. Everybody teaches how to to pass and run, training and anything you want, but if you don't have talent you won't make it in top men team. Women is different, they rely more on athleticism, wait some more years as women football gets more technical all over the world. US won't make it with athleticism, they will need talent and skills.
@@May16Joe Talent needs to be developed. If you watch a U14 video from Spain and from the US, you will see the contrast in terms of style and technical capabilities, and above all, how they approach the game. It all started in early age.
I agree with this. Technicality and skills have to be developed, we can’t muscle our way to the top. Athleticism won’t get us there because the other teams can read us and are just way more talented and skilled. Have the club levels look for talent and not just the ones that can pay the club fees to be included.
@jwxujerry Youth coaches should be spending 75% of their practice time teaching their players the essential ball handling skills. Passing and running is only important after the players have learned how to dribble, feint, step over, and control the ball when it comes to them on the ground or in the air.
@@jwxujerry @jwxujerry it starts in the streets in Spain. My kids grew up playing the game with their Spanish cousins in the narrow Spanish streets of Rota, Spain. It gave them a great advantage when we moved back to Florida and they started playing organized youth soccer. I still remember the first practice of my youngest son (10 years old) when the coach introduced him to the team. They started the practicing in a circle attempting to "juggle" the ball on their feet and thighs. The best I saw was three or four juggles before the player lost control of the ball. The coach invited my son to join the group and asked him how many juggles he could do. My sone replied "647" which he began to demonstrate to the amazement of the coach and other players who just stood there watching him. All of this was possible because of one summer in Spain playing in the street with Spanish kids who knew hos to control the ball.
@@Al0305you don’t have a culture that would let you win. You pay gate football which stops you from getting anyone that’s not middle class from playing. And these children lack both the hunger and the ability to make it big. America probably won’t ever truly address it so you’re unlikely to ever win without being extremely lucky with your run like England are.
Americans still complaining about Canada moving on scoring only one goal eh? That's one way to look at it, OR you can see that Canada got two shutouts out of three games and only allowed two goals form the reigning World Cup Champions. Maybe the USA should've focused more on defence, conceding two goals to Panama is not the act of a serious contender.
I know she was joking when she said that! It's because there's this running joke about the U.S. and Canada being "big rivals" in everything, but I know it's just in jest!
I'm Canadian, and her passive aggressiveness is funny to me. It's expected to see some Americans hate on us for no reason. Carli should enjoy the ride!
Whoah! Carli Lloyd, “We don’t want CANADA getting out of the group.” And here’s me, a Canadian, supporting the US (generally) thinking what’s good for CONCACAF is good for Canada. We all get better together. Then Carli dispels those illusions. I am crushed. So the USA IS a myopic sore loser. My eyes have been opened. You are not worthy of the rest of the soccer worlds sympathy or good will.
This funny yes Canada scored 1 goal against teams ranked above them. Argentina 1 Peru 31 Chili 40 Canada 48. USA top team in the group. Bolivia 84 Panama 43 Uruguay 14. The USA 11. So yes Canada did well above its weight but USA did terrible. Bolivia 84
Thank God we at least have a free pass to 2026, otherwise we'd never qualify for any tournament on any surface, in any country, on any continent, or any planet ever again.
This dude is delusional. We should win just because we are Americans, and that's what we do😂😂 It's soccer , and not even Brazil expects to win all the time. Waking up would help😂
Listen to how Argentina, France, Uruguay and any really top team coach and players talk. “We don't like being the favorite because it brings bad luck. We will play every match 100% and respect our opponents, who have qualities and deserve, like any other team, to be in this competition". It is not fear but respect for the opponent. And respect for the sport.
That’s the American mindset. It’s why the US ends up being the best country in the world. That constant drive bordering on arrogance is the mentality that helps them pull upsets in other sports. Prime example being the 1980 Winter Olympics.
These people ever thought about the culture? The system? The academies? The way kids grow up with this sport and this sport only like in every other country? Just changing a manager wouldn’t change a thing. It’s average and they want to compete by throwing some money and a new coach into it, without realizing the whole culture is just not comparable to competitive countries. You really think you’re gonna make up for 100 years of history by building some accommodations and hire a good coach? 😂
This 10000%. Just look at what kids are playing in backyards across America. They’re playing football, baseball, or basketball. It’s not in our culture which is a huge problem to being competitive.
@@LoboLynx Exactly. And the best players in the history of those sports are the ones who only had that particular sport as a way out. But in USA you have to pay to play football/soccer. If that was the case in the rest of the world, we would have never seen the likes of Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo and so many others. They all grew up poor. But they don’t understand that football is the peoples game and that the biggest talents are born in the streets. They have to start thinking bottom to top instead of top to bottom.
@@May16Joe Kids nowadays* haha. Thats true. But not here, to be honest. Here all kids still play in the streets, everywhere across the country. And it’s still tough and rough and competitive. You just have to make them used to that. But I agree that it is a different generation.
@@bartderuiter3509 I'm talking about US, I live here and play pick up games. If you even bump at them they look at you mad like what's going on lol. Some of them get physical and when I tackled back they also get mad like you I can touch you but you can't, it's hilarious.
Why is no one talking about berhalter telling his team 1:1 before the set piece and what happens? Uruguay goal. What happens in other games is irrelevant! Beat the team in front of you! FIRE BERHALTER!
There was a stat before the game with the two countries population. U.S.A.: 340.0 million, Uruguay: 3.4 million. We literally have 100x's the population and cannot beat them.
Panama's entire population is 4.4 million. Atlanta's metro area has a population of 6.1 million. Panama went in to a city that has a larger population than their whole country and beat us there.
I didn't believe it, so I had to come here and listen to this myself. At 3:2, that Lloyd person saying, "We don't want to see Canada getting out of the group" shows a complete lack of class.
If the women’s coach has to earn as much as men’s coach then forget it…us soccer is not going to pay the women’s coach what Klopp would earn. It’s 2 different sports with two different markets.
Germany didn’t make it out of the group stage in the last World Cup. Good teams have tough losses- be glad this was in the copa and not the World Cup. Obviously disappointing. But man Lalas and Lloyd come across as angry old grumps screaming at the sky about how easy the young generation have it now a day. Hard to watch without cringing heavily. We need a better coach to get the best from this talent.
14:43 This is the moment that needs more discussion. The majority of the “best” of US men’s soccer are not consistently contributing to their current club team. Let’s just say it…our best players are not as good as the best players from high ranking FIFA countries.
Lalas can now go back to his 2nd favorite pastime of slamming England in every competition they ever play in. Though in the Euros they deserve it but definitely feeds into his hatred! 😂 He mentioned beating them recently, 1993 Lalas. The US team are bringing on Sargent no disrespect to him but he plays in the English championship. Adams failed at Leeds, That's no world class squad, only the odd player such as maybe pulisic. Delirious at the quality of the team. Head back to Germany so you can spout your hatred for the weekend 😂😂
Well said mate. Yes we not played well but we’re in the quarterfinals again.got a feeling we will click the weekend and get to the final again. As for Lallas .hes bitter coz he didn’t get a contract in the English premier league.
@@loganleroy8622 I'd call a relegation a little bit of a failure. My point is he wasn't lighting the league up when he was fit for Leeds. Lalas is delusional, nice to see him eat some humble pie 🥧 now and again.
@@bostonbrum5288 Well if you remember Leeds were in 12th place and well above the relegation line when he was playing. After he got injured they continued to sink down the ladder. So is relegation really on him? He didn’t have to light up the world, he just needs to be a stable presence.
@Carli did you say you do not want to see Canada get out of the group stage? 3:16 What does Canada's progress have to do with your team's failure in this tournament? With friends like you who needs an enemy?
Absolutely resonating with this podcast episode's insights on the soccer scene in the US and Mexico. Money, power, and federation issues are undeniably holding back progress. The discussion on player selection and coaching reform hits close to home as I witness talented kids in South California craving opportunities that economic barriers often deny them. It's time to think differently, break free from nepotism, and truly strive for greatness. Let's open doors for all aspiring players and coaches to make a real impact in the beautiful game.
Lol loser England's whole identity is based on a tournament 60 years ago that no one considers legitimate, so as long as that's worth bringing up, so is 1950
Carli*** Lloyd why don't you talk about the manager that Canada got. Reality is we got the better manager and we had the tougher group while you lot was playing at home. Allez Les Rouges 🍁🍁🍁
We just need a new mentality - a reset. We used to lack talent but contain grit. Now we have talent but no grit. It starts from the top. Greg is yelling the score of another game while we’re defending a critical set piece. That's unacceptable.
Sorry Carli, but comparing the men's to the women's game has no relevance. The men's game has been around a lot longer, is more competitive, and the rest of the world is well ahead of the US in terms of the men's game. The men's program/system in the US is flawed. We're not going to win the WC unless we change the system.
Canada is the only one to go through out of the hosting nations. And they have made huge strides there still so much untapped potential. My thoughts for the U.S is , you need a culture change, you have the money, now get some passion for the game. Oh and get a coach
As a European it's fascinating to watch americans analyze football. It's so different. It's like they should win every tournament. Are they not aware of how good the rest of the world are? And LOL at Klopp or Pep coaching USA. How delusional can you be? :-))))
As an American Soccer will never be what you fans want it to be here in the States. Our best athletes play football and basketball😂😂😂those are just facts.
@cheloxmv Soccer is about athleticism and skill just like any other sport. Soccer players are trained not born just like any other sport. It's hilarious to me how you soccer fans act like the sport is the da Vinci code it's like any other sport. It just so happens that International soccer players have been playing since they were 6 years old and it happens to be the #1 sport in alot of those countries. Well here in the states soccer isn't as popular so our 6 year olds are playing basketball, football and even baseball those are the top sports in the states. So like my original statement American soccer players are not the top of the food chain buddy so we will never be any good at that sport until they start attracting elite athletes.
Please, US fans, it is time to accept that the USMNT players aren’t as good as you think they are. This isn’t just about their pathetic coach (and truly pathetic he is). The players are over-hyped. Just because they are at European clubs is not enough. How much are they playing? Have any shown themselves to be world class? They have been revealed against Panama and then against Uruguay. What do the players have to offer when faced with adversity? Pulisic flopping and flapping his arms? Desperate for a goal and you turn to Josh Sargent? Josh Sargent??? Come on. Accept it. Sure they can beat the CONCACAF island nations, but they’re not good enough to take on the world’s best.
Its mentality more than technical skill. And yes we need a genuine creative midfielder. Both Panama and Uruguay bullied America out of the two group games.
Please stop the "Golden Generation" talk. These players haven't even earned right to be called the Bronze Generation. Their sense of entitlement is staggering when you consider they can't consistently beat any top 15 team or advance out of a group stage.
@Vickzq You’re right. The USWNT and USMNT shouldn’t be compared. I hate it when people compare the men’s game with the women’s game but it’s not like if the USWNT has won every competition they’ve competed in 🤷🏻♂️😂.
Alexis excited about USA going to the World Cup ? Are you kidding me ? About what ? Even if USA has a good team they would be out quick. If you want to be excited, watch USA in Paris with the Track and Field team . Be real 😊
Explain why it is impossible for your federation to hire an iternational high-level coach! Explain to the general public how you allowed that your Woke culture and ideology to impose conditions that hinder your selection. Say that you cannot hire a coach of international level because otherwise, by internal regulations, you would have to pay the same to the coach of the women's team... be brave and raise your voice.
Let me ask, what would the reaction be if usa won by 1-0? Would we be saying that this team is historic?? HAHAHAH. It’s futbol, we can’t predict these games
Theres a bit of delusion from Mexico and the USA thinking they even have a chance in this competitions. Im a rugby fan from Argentina, when we lose against South Africa or the All Blacks we arent mad because we lose, theres always the ilusion of winning, but to be angry when you lose against the best teams in the world who own a tradition rooted in their nations culture is something to be expected to say the least. Uruguay has 2 word cups, multiple times Copa América champions, I mean, cmon.....
Why is anyone shocked? The US are an average team at best. Theres a big difference between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. If the US was playing in CONMEBOL they’d struggle to qualify for another world cup unless they’re hosting it.
Also, you have to understand that the world is not chopped liver, they are improving as well. There’s issues in Brazil, Italy, Germany and soon enough after Messi Argentina will too. There’s amazing development in Spain look at those two youngsters; the game is impacted with a new generation.
They remind me a little of Mexican journalists, they think they are more than they really are. Without little self-criticism. You are 50 years away from being at the level of elite teams.
Yeah but that's what everyone has been saying now for the last 30 years. Massive infrastructure, youth development, stadiums, sports nutrition, and the increased spotlight on the sport have all been improved but we cant win anything still lol. wont be alive in 50 years, so thats a bummer! 50 years may not even be long enough. sad.
The lack of football infrastructure is what cripples the US. The reality is, in Spain, Brazil, Uruguay, England, Germany, heck, even countries like Georgia who beat Portugal. They all have a 1 sport culture, and that is football. There’s nothing wrong with the US having multiple sports being the pillar of communities, but football is NOT organically a pillar in any community. Playing football in the U.S. is a LUXURY, while in the rest of the world it is a commonality. Nothing the USMNT can do, unless they start changing the minds of American’s and market football to be the pillar of communities.
@@bunjaow Brazil has multiple sports as well, but only one REALLY matters. Does England fill stadiums with Basketball and discuss the results of the latest volleyball match in schools? Maybe they do, I find that hard to believe though.
@carlosnavarrete1094 England has cricket and both rugby league and rugby union. They do talk about it. Try watching sports networks outside of ESPN. Like BBC Sports
The USA focuses on beating Mexico in all games but only in home soil. Now that they have being doing that for many years. They (Media and players) feel like they are in top of the world, where has this taken the USMNT? Mexico will go to WC and still beat France, Germany, Italy, etc. Mexican players just come shopping to US and enjoy their nice camp for them loosing is just another game.
Yes, when the USA sent FBI to get rid of Sepp Blatter and corrupt FIFA in their favor, they immediately started making small changes that hurt Liga MX and the Mexican national team.
Well, Canada was in a more difficult group than the U.S. they advanced with grit and determination. They only scored one goal? They were able to hold off higher ranked teams than Bolivia and Panama.Why shouldn’t they be? and why wouldn’t you want them to be in the knockout round?
I've watched a lot of the Euros this year. Is jaw-dropping how much better the soccer is, the quality of the officiating in the main, and the VAR system. How FIFA allows Concacaf, etc., to be second in the last two categories is jaw-dropping.
The problem is the culture of US soccer. The access to true development at the youth academy stage. Yes, there are many more resources available but only in certain areas and then only to a select few. Soccer here is still a “pay-to-play” sport. If more true athletes in America had free access to train with coaches who are truly trying to develop, then maybe we could see some actual elite players and coaching. It takes the coach AND the players. Coaches can’t be out here trying to be friends with their players. They need to be leading and getting them to the next level. Also, who is actually going out looking for creative players that are athletes? We can’t afford to keep getting the same type of players expecting better results.
Should Gregg Berhalter be replaced as HC of the United States Men's National Team?
Absolutely
Please. He is solid but we need a coach who knows how to max this talent and has won in europe. Greg doesnt bring excitement. If we dont fire him , its stubborness
Yes. This "golden generation" is too comfortable with Berhalter. SOFT...
As an American, who loves USMNT, let me be clear. We as supporters are delusional, we do not have the quality, nothing special about this current so-called golden generation we have.
no.

@lowercentenary, Who would you have in mind to coach? please have an answer!
He just isn’t capable of beating good teams. Any coach in any sport that had this much of a chance on the world stage coming up in two years would be fired for these performances. It’s a pattern of underperforming.
The look on Greg’s face in stoppage time as he sat on the bench contemplating life, shows he’s ready to move on. He expects it. What message do we send as a federation if we take a dude with that much belief in himself onto the World Cup??
_"…ussf is only interested in nepotism, cronyism and profit"_
Profit? Kinda interesting that now (what is the core of your whole sports industries) profit should be reason that it isn’t working out? Isn’t nepotism and/or cronyism enough to dig deeper and replace the root cause instead of dealing with a "symptom" like Berhalter?
Because _"Der Fisch stinkt vom Kopf!"_ …
So you have now woken to the fact that US soccer is all about profit, first and foremost? Keep thinking on it! In time you will realise that’s why US football will always be the Cinderella of world football! Putting all the blame on Berhalter’s shoulders for the USMNT dismal failures is downright wrong.
Yeah.. They even gatekeep how many coaches can get their licenses, so even trying to be a national coach is difficult to achieve. The corruption runs deep.
Is she still putting Pulisic in the same category to Messi these days..??
Bru Americans are funny. Why would Pep or Klop agree to couch the USA? The delusion is crazy
I think Americans look more into hope rather than reality. 😂
A realistic coach for them would be Willy Sagnol or Herve Renard, two coaches who have overachieved with so called smaller national teams.
@@rotm8050 more arrogance than anything else
I would also recommend a change. A lot of good work has been done, but a new coach would reenergize the team. A coach who has competed for a long time in the Spain, Germany, the UK, France or Italy who has a style that builds on the work that has been done. Someone who has competed in the Bundesliga or the premiership who speaks English or someone who can work with a translator. I also think that the coach has to look carefully at those players on the field who are not playing regularly during the season. Having players on the pitch who are coming from important teams but who are not playing regularly may or may not work, it’s a risky thing. Last, we have to stop thinking that we are going to win or we should win because we are the US. Most teams have arguments compete. Look at England almost being defeated by Slovakia in regular time after tying 1-1 against Denmark or tying 0-0 against Slovenia. They only won to Serbia 1-0 in regular time. That’s soccer, you don’t win a game because you are better, you win when you compete better than the other team on the pitch.
Ron stone meantioned klopp or pep in his breath last night after the loss i was rofl 🤣🤣
sorry but being a woman my self the reason uswnt is successful is just because women's football is under devolopped and under funded in most nations for now men's football is the elite and where the top quality team for almost every country is for now and maybe in the futur too ,one more thing is that women's football doesn't get a lot of views compared to the men's so people relate more with the men's so stop comparing women's football to the men's you're dammaging women's football by this they are different sports
Bingo. US women faced office workers from thailand at world cup finals... and most european teams still include semipros today.
The only thing is... men aren't just funded either. It simply doesn't attract the same masses - just like you said.
I completely agree ! The day Football Powerhouses started proper funding their women team , the days of USWNT will be numbered and they will struggle against most European , Latin American teams in the near future. 2023 FIFA World Cup has already shown the glimpses thats awaits US womens team who upto now had enjoyed football dominance mainly because Popular football countries didn't focus on their women. But the change is happening now and evident how Spain Dominated against USWNT in a friendly match. I won't be surprised if uswnt don't make it to the knockout stages in future FIFA events.
@@mouna5252elle I will disagree on the second half of your comment, the stadium was no way full at Arrowhead, however the USWNT would definitely fill up a stadium and get more viewership on TV.

"We don't want to see Canada get out of the group"...and this is exactly why so many around the world can't stand US soccer teams. Arrogance and so condescending. The US disrespected Panama thought they would just roll over and hand them the 3 points and they got beaten.
To be fair, that's not necessarily the mentality of the team. The pundits don't play for the team. I doubt the players were even thinking about Canada
And it's not soccer it's called football full stop
The average of games played by a MLS player is 34 per year/seson.
Premier League: 38.
La Liga: 38. etc.
In the last 2 seasons, the players of Manchester City played 43 and 65 matches respectively (total, but excluding national team games).
In the last 12 months, Argentina played 8 international friendlies.
USMNT played 3 in 2024 and 4 in 2023.
The team is simply not prepared.
A lot of US players play in Europe right now.
I don't blame it on that. Though MLS has its own shortcomings. Frankly I think MLS like the WNBA is trash by design. But the USA has shown that this is not a big part of the equation when it comes to their success. Frankly, it's the execs and their trash coach. And it's not going to change. And how will you know I'm right? Just watch. A competent federation would send a strong message and fire Burkhalter within 24 hours if not 48 hours. Just watch.

Agree 100% . As soon as the game started I liked the energy from the USMNT, pressing and such, but then after I saw they were just trying to play the hard physical game that Uruguay is known for . I gave up on us at that point because I felt we weren’t playing to our strengths but played to their strengths.

@carlosavila9977 That mantra dates back to 1967 and the formation of the North American Soccer League and really took off in the 1970s with retiring European and South American Stars like Cruyff, Beckenbauer and Pelé (along with then household American names like Shep Messing and Werner Roth who were the most recent products of the American youth soccer movement) bringing in record crowds to watch the games. The idea was that the American youth soccer movement would immediately explode with talent. The problem was (and still remains today) the lack of knowledgeable youth coaches who grew up playing the game in neighborhood streets and Cul de Sacs, mastering the essential ball control techniques demonstrated by the Dutch coaching legend Wiel Coerver, who developed a VHS video series teaching essential ball skills to Dutch youth. ua-cam.com/users/Coerver . With the overwhelming domination and popularity of baseball, football and basketball in the United States, which virtually absorbs all of the greatest athletes out of the pool of soccer players available to develop into world class soccer players, it is doubtful the U.S. will ever develop enough quality soccer players to field a competitive World Cup team.

My daughter ,10, is playing at a good club and in their training, they seldom train how to pass and run. They do scrimmages all the time. The player selection focuses on athletics. Last night I watched the game on a Chinese TV channel. The commenter said, US is like a bunch of very athletic guys playing soccer. I am not saying the Chinese team is doing better but the commenter has a point. What we don’t have is good club level coaches that teach how to pass and run and pass and run. And we don’t have inner city kids playing because soccer is for the riches that costs 3k+ a year to play.
Talent is what lacks, you can have all the athletic guys you want but that’s not the formula. It’s that talent that only few are born with that combined with athleticism makes them top players. Messi would have never been Messi if he didn’t have talent, Barcelona saw it and put him on a hormone therapy to make him develop the athleticism he lacked and look at him now. Everybody teaches how to to pass and run, training and anything you want, but if you don't have talent you won't make it in top men team. Women is different, they rely more on athleticism, wait some more years as women football gets more technical all over the world. US won't make it with athleticism, they will need talent and skills.
@@May16Joe Talent needs to be developed. If you watch a U14 video from Spain and from the US, you will see the contrast in terms of style and technical capabilities, and above all, how they approach the game. It all started in early age.
I agree with this. Technicality and skills have to be developed, we can’t muscle our way to the top. Athleticism won’t get us there because the other teams can read us and are just way more talented and skilled.
Have the club levels look for talent and not just the ones that can pay the club fees to be included.
@jwxujerry Youth coaches should be spending 75% of their practice time teaching their players the essential ball handling skills. Passing and running is only important after the players have learned how to dribble, feint, step over, and control the ball when it comes to them on the ground or in the air.
@@jwxujerry @jwxujerry it starts in the streets in Spain. My kids grew up playing the game with their Spanish cousins in the narrow Spanish streets of Rota, Spain. It gave them a great advantage when we moved back to Florida and they started playing organized youth soccer. I still remember the first practice of my youngest son (10 years old) when the coach introduced him to the team. They started the practicing in a circle attempting to "juggle" the ball on their feet and thighs. The best I saw was three or four juggles before the player lost control of the ball. The coach invited my son to join the group and asked him how many juggles he could do. My sone replied "647" which he began to demonstrate to the amazement of the coach and other players who just stood there watching him. All of this was possible because of one summer in Spain playing in the street with Spanish kids who knew hos to control the ball.

I am crushed. So the USA IS a myopic sore loser. My eyes have been opened. You are not worthy of the rest of the soccer worlds sympathy or good will.
Not starting to talk about her delusions to compare women's soccer, where they played amateurs for almost 20 years... to the men.
It is you who is wrong supporting usa
I'm Canadian, and I don't want to see USA win either. That's the rivalry.
This funny yes Canada scored 1 goal against teams ranked above them. Argentina 1 Peru 31 Chili 40 Canada 48. USA top team in the group. Bolivia 84 Panama 43 Uruguay 14. The USA 11. So yes Canada did well above its weight but USA did terrible. Bolivia 84
Good point, but US being above Uruguay is a travesty though. It is THE case that proves rankings are a mess.
Thank God we at least have a free pass to 2026, otherwise we'd never qualify for any tournament on any surface, in any country, on any continent, or any planet ever again.
Umm… we qualify for world cups through concacaf. We almost have a guarantee to qualify.
just recently.
How did Gio play bad? Playing out of position and still being out there playing defense and trying to create. Gregg should not of been rehired
@BlankThoughts What's the music playing at the 12:23 minute mark? I heard it before lol
This dude is delusional. We should win just because we are Americans, and that's what we do😂😂
It's soccer , and not even Brazil expects to win all the time. Waking up would help😂
I would call it arrogance
Listen to how Argentina, France, Uruguay and any really top team coach and players talk. “We don't like being the favorite because it brings bad luck. We will play every match 100% and respect our opponents, who have qualities and deserve, like any other team, to be in this competition".
It is not fear but respect for the opponent. And respect for the sport.
That’s the American mindset. It’s why the US ends up being the best country in the world. That constant drive bordering on arrogance is the mentality that helps them pull upsets in other sports. Prime example being the 1980 Winter Olympics.
That's called winning mentality 🤔
@@loganleroy8622why the americans keeps autodenominate themself as they Best counttry in thr world😂
These people ever thought about the culture? The system? The academies? The way kids grow up with this sport and this sport only like in every other country? Just changing a manager wouldn’t change a thing. It’s average and they want to compete by throwing some money and a new coach into it, without realizing the whole culture is just not comparable to competitive countries. You really think you’re gonna make up for 100 years of history by building some accommodations and hire a good coach? 😂
This 10000%. Just look at what kids are playing in backyards across America. They’re playing football, baseball, or basketball. It’s not in our culture which is a huge problem to being competitive.
@@LoboLynx Exactly. And the best players in the history of those sports are the ones who only had that particular sport as a way out. But in USA you have to pay to play football/soccer. If that was the case in the rest of the world, we would have never seen the likes of Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo and so many others. They all grew up poor. But they don’t understand that football is the peoples game and that the biggest talents are born in the streets. They have to start thinking bottom to top instead of top to bottom.
Kids don’t even like physical contact during pick up games, you touch them and they get mad 😂, it’s ridiculous.
@@May16Joe Kids nowadays* haha. Thats true. But not here, to be honest. Here all kids still play in the streets, everywhere across the country. And it’s still tough and rough and competitive. You just have to make them used to that. But I agree that it is a different generation.
@@bartderuiter3509 I'm talking about US, I live here and play pick up games. If you even bump at them they look at you mad like what's going on lol. Some of them get physical and when I tackled back they also get mad like you I can touch you but you can't, it's hilarious.
Why is no one talking about berhalter telling his team 1:1 before the set piece and what happens? Uruguay goal. What happens in other games is irrelevant! Beat the team in front of you! FIRE BERHALTER!
There was a stat before the game with the two countries population. U.S.A.: 340.0 million, Uruguay: 3.4 million. We literally have 100x's the population and cannot beat them.
Panama's entire population is 4.4 million. Atlanta's metro area has a population of 6.1 million. Panama went in to a city that has a larger population than their whole country and beat us there.
Lalas is a clown. He made a living defending Berhalter before and calling people “toxic” if they didn’t.
I didn't believe it, so I had to come here and listen to this myself. At 3:2, that Lloyd person saying, "We don't want to see Canada getting out of the group" shows a complete lack of class.
If the women’s coach has to earn as much as men’s coach then forget it…us soccer is not going to pay the women’s coach what Klopp would earn. It’s 2 different sports with two different markets.
And thats one of the reasons why no top coach will come to manage usa
US Football cannot afford it
So true. Too many people are scared to admit this.
Yup as a woman this is true idk why people don't want to understand this
Woke culture..hahahaha
Germany didn’t make it out of the group stage in the last World Cup. Good teams have tough losses- be glad this was in the copa and not the World Cup.
Obviously disappointing. But man Lalas and Lloyd come across as angry old grumps screaming at the sky about how easy the young generation have it now a day. Hard to watch without cringing heavily.
We need a better coach to get the best from this talent.
if usa had a coach like Pep or klopp, would it make a difference?
i’m genuinely curious
14:43 This is the moment that needs more discussion. The majority of the “best” of US men’s soccer are not consistently contributing to their current club team. Let’s just say it…our best players are not as good as the best players from high ranking FIFA countries.
Lalas can now go back to his 2nd favorite pastime of slamming England in every competition they ever play in. Though in the Euros they deserve it but definitely feeds into his hatred! 😂 He mentioned beating them recently, 1993 Lalas. The US team are bringing on Sargent no disrespect to him but he plays in the English championship. Adams failed at Leeds, That's no world class squad, only the odd player such as maybe pulisic. Delirious at the quality of the team. Head back to Germany so you can spout your hatred for the weekend 😂😂
Well said mate. Yes we not played well but we’re in the quarterfinals again.got a feeling we will click the weekend and get to the final again. As for Lallas .hes bitter coz he didn’t get a contract in the English premier league.
@@gazza1196Absolutely he is very bitter !
Adams didn’t fail at Leeds. He got injured and wasn’t able to play for a year.
@@loganleroy8622 I'd call a relegation a little bit of a failure. My point is he wasn't lighting the league up when he was fit for Leeds. Lalas is delusional, nice to see him eat some humble pie 🥧 now and again.
@@bostonbrum5288 Well if you remember Leeds were in 12th place and well above the relegation line when he was playing. After he got injured they continued to sink down the ladder. So is relegation really on him? He didn’t have to light up the world, he just needs to be a stable presence.
Canada got more advance than US in the real football 😢😢😢
I'm not even American, but I've always liked Carli's attitude as an athlete, and also her analyzes are always very mature.
Carli was virtually the only woman's player I like and respected. She was not a kneeler either, like the rest of those commies.
@@philOKC. Carli is a sellout to her own. Nobody likes Sellouts.
@Carli did you say you do not want to see Canada get out of the group stage? 3:16 What does Canada's progress have to do with your team's failure in this tournament? With friends like you who needs an enemy?
Absolutely resonating with this podcast episode's insights on the soccer scene in the US and Mexico. Money, power, and federation issues are undeniably holding back progress. The discussion on player selection and coaching reform hits close to home as I witness talented kids in South California craving opportunities that economic barriers often deny them. It's time to think differently, break free from nepotism, and truly strive for greatness. Let's open doors for all aspiring players and coaches to make a real impact in the beautiful game.
The last time the USA beat England in a "major tournament" was 74 years ago. Is. that worth bringing up?
Lol loser England's whole identity is based on a tournament 60 years ago that no one considers legitimate, so as long as that's worth bringing up, so is 1950
It gets worse in 2026 this is just a premonition 😂.
what did Lalas win internationally??, US soccer it's the same since 1987 that I remember
We need more Lloyd and Lalas analysis. Perfect duo, level headed but technically and tactically superior analysis of usmnt and uswnt
You never will if Jurgen Klinsmann, the winner of the World Cup, couldn't bring you there.
Fudge, what is USMNT?. This letters thing is what got you eliminated, and the multiple colors in your jersey, not referring to the US colors
They think women teams are important and similar level than men... that's the first error and reason it's called like this. Just say _team usa._
Carli*** Lloyd why don't you talk about the manager that Canada got. Reality is we got the better manager and we had the tougher group while you lot was playing at home. Allez Les Rouges 🍁🍁🍁
We just need a new mentality - a reset. We used to lack talent but contain grit. Now we have talent but no grit.
It starts from the top. Greg is yelling the score of another game while we’re defending a critical set piece. That's unacceptable.
They showed grit tonight. However, GGG is the primary problem.
Sorry Carli, but comparing the men's to the women's game has no relevance. The men's game has been around a lot longer, is more competitive, and the rest of the world is well ahead of the US in terms of the men's game. The men's program/system in the US is flawed. We're not going to win the WC unless we change the system.
Only themselves to blame. Blew it against Panama. Canada is a much better team. Sorry Carli and Alexi
Canada is the only one to go through out of the hosting nations. And they have made huge strides there still so much untapped potential.
My thoughts for the U.S is , you need a culture change, you have the money, now get some passion for the game. Oh and get a coach
The running yellow card was HILARIOUS ! 😂
Shameful more like
Just imagine if they scored on that play. LOL
How can KINGS of concacaf NOT even beat lowly concacaf teams!
As a European it's fascinating to watch americans analyze football. It's so different. It's like they should win every tournament. Are they not aware of how good the rest of the world are? And LOL at Klopp or Pep coaching USA. How delusional can you be? :-))))
As an American Soccer will never be what you fans want it to be here in the States. Our best athletes play football and basketball😂😂😂those are just facts.
not basketball
A good NFL/NBA player is not a good Football player. When you guys understand that, maybe you could actually have a proper team.
@cheloxmv Soccer is about athleticism and skill just like any other sport. Soccer players are trained not born just like any other sport. It's hilarious to me how you soccer fans act like the sport is the da Vinci code it's like any other sport. It just so happens that International soccer players have been playing since they were 6 years old and it happens to be the #1 sport in alot of those countries. Well here in the states soccer isn't as popular so our 6 year olds are playing basketball, football and even baseball those are the top sports in the states. So like my original statement American soccer players are not the top of the food chain buddy so we will never be any good at that sport until they start attracting elite athletes.
The arrogance: you don't want to see Canada get out of their group. Your team failed.
Complete arrogance - instead of focussing on the US failure she wants to call out Canada - really! They deserved this…
Please, US fans, it is time to accept that the USMNT players aren’t as good as you think they are. This isn’t just about their pathetic coach (and truly pathetic he is). The players are over-hyped. Just because they are at European clubs is not enough. How much are they playing? Have any shown themselves to be world class? They have been revealed against Panama and then against Uruguay. What do the players have to offer when faced with adversity? Pulisic flopping and flapping his arms? Desperate for a goal and you turn to Josh Sargent? Josh Sargent??? Come on. Accept it. Sure they can beat the CONCACAF island nations, but they’re not good enough to take on the world’s best.
Its mentality more than technical skill.
And yes we need a genuine creative midfielder.
Both Panama and Uruguay bullied America out of the two group games.
Its offside, not offsides
Please stop the "Golden Generation" talk. These players haven't even earned right to be called the Bronze Generation. Their sense of entitlement is staggering when you consider they can't consistently beat any top 15 team or advance out of a group stage.
C’mon Carly, no need for side burn of Canada 😂
Or bringing deluded comparisons about the women... who won all thropies when the restlined up semiamateurs.
@Vickzq
You’re right. The USWNT and USMNT shouldn’t be compared. I hate it when people compare the men’s game with the women’s game but it’s not like if the USWNT has won every competition they’ve competed in 🤷🏻♂️😂.
Alexis excited about USA going to the World Cup ? Are you kidding me ? About what ? Even if USA has a good team they would be out quick. If you want to be excited, watch USA in Paris with the Track and Field team . Be real 😊
Explain why it is impossible for your federation to hire an iternational high-level coach! Explain to the general public how you allowed that your Woke culture and ideology to impose conditions that hinder your selection. Say that you cannot hire a coach of international level because otherwise, by internal regulations, you would have to pay the same to the coach of the women's team... be brave and raise your voice.
Let me ask, what would the reaction be if usa won by 1-0? Would we be saying that this team is historic?? HAHAHAH. It’s futbol, we can’t predict these games
Thierry Henry for coach after he’s done at the Olympics (if he does well)
Nahh they’ll bring in some MLS coach
Theres a bit of delusion from Mexico and the USA thinking they even have a chance in this competitions. Im a rugby fan from Argentina, when we lose against South Africa or the All Blacks we arent mad because we lose, theres always the ilusion of winning, but to be angry when you lose against the best teams in the world who own a tradition rooted in their nations culture is something to be expected to say the least. Uruguay has 2 word cups, multiple times Copa América champions, I mean, cmon.....
Great example
Why is anyone shocked? The US are an average team at best. Theres a big difference between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. If the US was playing in CONMEBOL they’d struggle to qualify for another world cup unless they’re hosting it.
Also, you have to understand that the world is not chopped liver, they are improving as well. There’s issues in Brazil, Italy, Germany and soon enough after Messi Argentina will too. There’s amazing development in Spain look at those two youngsters; the game is impacted with a new generation.
They remind me a little of Mexican journalists, they think they are more than they really are. Without little self-criticism. You are 50 years away from being at the level of elite teams.
Yeah but that's what everyone has been saying now for the last 30 years. Massive infrastructure, youth development, stadiums, sports nutrition, and the increased spotlight on the sport have all been improved but we cant win anything still lol. wont be alive in 50 years, so thats a bummer! 50 years may not even be long enough. sad.
The lack of football infrastructure is what cripples the US. The reality is, in Spain, Brazil, Uruguay, England, Germany, heck, even countries like Georgia who beat Portugal. They all have a 1 sport culture, and that is football. There’s nothing wrong with the US having multiple sports being the pillar of communities, but football is NOT organically a pillar in any community. Playing football in the U.S. is a LUXURY, while in the rest of the world it is a commonality.
Nothing the USMNT can do, unless they start changing the minds of American’s and market football to be the pillar of communities.
Agreed.
England has multiple sports. Stop the copium.
@@bunjaow Brazil has multiple sports as well, but only one REALLY matters. Does England fill stadiums with Basketball and discuss the results of the latest volleyball match in schools? Maybe they do, I find that hard to believe though.
@carlosnavarrete1094 England has cricket and both rugby league and rugby union. They do talk about it. Try watching sports networks outside of ESPN. Like BBC Sports
@@bunjaow1 sport culture = 1 sport that actually matters in the culture. In the U.S., it’s American football, basketball, and baseball, in that order.
The USA focuses on beating Mexico in all games but only in home soil. Now that they have being doing that for many years. They (Media and players) feel like they are in top of the world, where has this taken the USMNT? Mexico will go to WC and still beat France, Germany, Italy, etc. Mexican players just come shopping to US and enjoy their nice camp for them loosing is just another game.
Yes, when the USA sent FBI to get rid of Sepp Blatter and corrupt FIFA in their favor, they immediately started making small changes that hurt Liga MX and the Mexican national team.
Mexico is top 40
Mexico isn't beating anyone.
Mexico is also out of the tournament, they need to fix A LOT of things in their camp as well.
México is a Meme in south américa 😂 we all laught at them all the time
Well, Canada was in a more difficult group than the U.S. they advanced with grit and determination. They only scored one goal? They were able to hold off higher ranked teams than Bolivia and Panama.Why shouldn’t they be? and why wouldn’t you want them to be in the knockout round?
I've watched a lot of the Euros this year.
Is jaw-dropping how much better the soccer is, the quality of the officiating in the main, and the VAR system.
How FIFA allows Concacaf, etc., to be second in the last two categories is jaw-dropping.
Let us face it, the team lacks talent and technical ability.
US definitely needs a new coach. He sucks.
Seeing this clown cry and is the best thing ever! 😂😂
The problem is the culture of US soccer. The access to true development at the youth academy stage. Yes, there are many more resources available but only in certain areas and then only to a select few. Soccer here is still a “pay-to-play” sport. If more true athletes in America had free access to train with coaches who are truly trying to develop, then maybe we could see some actual elite players and coaching. It takes the coach AND the players. Coaches can’t be out here trying to be friends with their players. They need to be leading and getting them to the next level. Also, who is actually going out looking for creative players that are athletes? We can’t afford to keep getting the same type of players expecting better results.
