If Gregg remains manager I am done with US Soccer after 36 years of following this team and players. US Soccer is insulting the sport and country. The US no longer deserves this World Cup since we are throwing it away.
I'm sorry, Rob, Alexi, The USA has always been a soccer team that attempted to buy respectability. As a nation we have never developed a world class superstar player. And, as far as I can see there is currently nobody with that potential anywhere in the USA development program. On rare occasions a few USA players have reached the level of what I would call "competent professionals". Thar's just not good enough. MLS is not producing any World Class players, or even any with that potential. It's just not. They'd rather bring in an over-the-hill Messi, or Beckham than go out in the boondocks and find kids, whose parents are not wealthy, and who can pay to let their kid get quality coaching. As usual; in this country it's all about money, and talent without financial backing is ALWAYS overlooked. There must be kids out there with the ability to excel. And they probably don't have any money. Berhalter is a guy who was put in charge by a committee of self-serving incompetents in the USSF. That is the place to begin to clean house, and then rebuild the entire system from the ground up..
They didn't really talk to anyone else or try if we're fair. People are interested in this job, just not the structure over it. USSF needs an overhaul to match a serious nation.
Dude is complaining about friendlies against CONCACAF opponents that got out of their group (unlike the US). And then they think they can pull Pep or Klopp? This team has done absolutely nothing to prove they are worth managers of that level. It’s delusional and embarrassing, honestly.
Pep or Klopp would never happen but there are good managers behind those like say Potter the former Brighton manager or Tuchel they could certainly entice to the job and probably 5-10 others who would be much better than the current manager.
Pep and Klopp would easily coach them. I can’t think of anything they would love more than to live in the US it is like every European’s dream. Now will they take the job seriously… probably not just looking for a check and opportunity to live here
@@chinglee100 come on dude, if they wanted to live in the USA they would already be there, all you need is money or a job to get in, something tells me they are not short of cash and an MLS team wouldn't bite their hand off to hire them.
Gregg may be a nice guy, I'm sure he is.....and I'm sure he's learning (something?) but let him learn somewhere else. This is serious and we need a serious leader for this team
@@Boxingfan-mg8mf Well, I hope that a person can change and realize their mistakes and learn from that. However, he has proven that he is incapable of managing this team -- too many times.
@@Boxingfan-mg8mfEverything I have ever heard was he was kicking at an upright woman - P Dids was kicking a woman on the ground after he put her there.
Why would the 2 best coaches even think about the US job. It's a terrible organization compared to the big teams in europe. Don't give false hope to the fans with these names. US has to call sacked or early eliminated Coaches from the Euros
If you throw enough money you never know. No harm in asking. I can see a top coach taking it if you offer them $40m+ for two years. There are worse places to live.
You can't buy your way to the top, but you can at least play at your level. You had a higher FIFA ranking than every team in your group and you crashed and burned. And then you criticized the one CONCACAF team that made it through, even mocking them? You wear your arrogance proudly. At least you're good at that.
Earnest working Americans knew five years ago that a coach appointed on the basis of nepotism rather than merit would be out of his depth. Accountability and consequences must ensue for those who made these decisions and those in the media who shilled for them. #NotRocketScience
F*ck supporting Gregg. It's insanity to continue on with him. If you support this World Cup then you do not support whats best for US Soccer. If Gregg stays then we should boycott every aspect of the World Cup
We should never boycott. There definitely needs to be a change in the coach. They had the opportunity not to rehire him. Now they have even more evidence they made the wrong decision.
Berhalter rewards Gio Reyna's drama with his mom by keeping him on the team and giving him playing time when he shows he is one of the weaker players on the team. Berhalter looks like a simp now, rewarding people for dissent.
Boycott every aspect of the World Cup you say? How Childish, how much more pathetic can you get…It’s reminisce of a child having a tantrum, and throwing his toys around!! Nobody is going to take notice of you
Yet again US soccer elite not accepting the fact our youth soccer approach and our approach to college soccer is a disastrous hot mess. Until we start training our kids how to play total football and tiki taka style possession building from the back we are never going to compete at the highest international level. We are still playing kickball US style. Ask yourself why our best men’s players train and play in Europe? Let that sink in….
Tiki-taka is enjoyable to watch but is not played anymore in the modern game. And the best teams in the world don't play tiki taka. The modern game is all about spacing, pressing, and counter pressing.
They train and play in Europe because that's where the money is. It's also why they want to jump as fast as possible to EPL instead of Eredivisie or Bundesliga
You're part right on this but ....missing on....who we are now and taking what we have and making a competitive "TEAM" will never be anyone but AMERICA and this doesn't have to be a bad thing when it comes to soccer but we will never have the incubation for our players to grow up in that...but, we can be elite but most create our game and style ...Defense Wins Championships
Slow Down Rob Stone LOL. Jurgen Klopp is not coming LOL. When the other Jurgen, A WORLD CUP WINNER as a player, Coached the USA, the players pushed back and kept acting like prima donnas and he called it out. Instead of sticking with him, they let him go. Are we ready?? I don't think so
1: lower expectations 2: new coach with renewed energy and spirit 3: accountability for players 4: find team identity 5: get fans back on board (by winning!)
I’m sorry, your “ solutions “ are a bunch of nothing-burger feelings. The real change needs to be changing the pa-to-play model, cronyism and nepotism even down to high school and academy levels, and getting the top athletes in the pipeline.
@thewalruswasjason101 is a weird double-edged sword. They need to win at a higher level in order to get more top players, and they can't do that at all. Minimum a change of coaching staff from outside the usa is a start
Half of them are women. That means 150 million; Half of that 150 million are obese. That leaves us with 75 million. Half of that never even heard of soccer. We're now at 35 million. Half of that aren't interested in soccer. We're now at 17 million. Half of that don't have the talent to play the sports at all. It's 8 million now. Only half of that can even kick a ball in a decent club. That gives us 4 million. Half of them are average. We're now at 2 million. Half of them are older players. That gives us 1 million to pick from. Half of them are just inexperienced teenagers. We're now at 500,000. You don't have that big of a pool as you may think! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think 330 mil Americans like or care about soccer? Why would a country that doesn’t care bother to field a competitive team? It’s not unreal if you use your brain for 3 seconds.
Listen to what they're saying. You're probably right but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to get a big name like Pep or Klopp. Just settling for a manager is why we are in the position now. Swing for the fences because we're about to be embarrassed on our home soil during the WC in 2 years.
They may be overhyped but the team still has more talent than many other teams that achieve more. Hopefully the right guy can put them into that position. Not to win the Copa or WC outright but making it to the quarter finals wouldn't be an unreasonable ask.
Calling greg average is giving him wayy too much credit. Bob Bradley was an average coach and he took multiple teams of far less talent much much farther than our current coach.
@@Joe-i1x2g there is no report because its obvious, this is literally the first time I'm hearing anyone claim that a pre-season tour in the US is for anything other than money. That's why Liverpool went to southeast Asia a few years in a row for friendly games, not because Klopp wants to work there so much but because we have a lot of fans there that are willing to overpay to watch their team play and it's exactly the same for the US tours.
@@Joe-i1x2gisn’t it clear 🤦🏼♂️ all Americans think about is commercializing things, that’s why utd with its American owners always go to the us. It certainly isn’t for the conditions of the pitches or the atmosphere because both are shite over there and the long travel to the us isn’t beneficial either, it just leaves you with less time to actually put in work. which I why they’d just prefer staying near Europe for sporting reasons, for commercial reasons they go to the us, and a coach like Mourinho cares about sporting reasons. Just takes some common sense to figure that one out, warm weather training in a place like Spain or Portugal or Italy even would be just as beneficial for sporting reasons but again it’s all commercializing 🤷🏼♂️
These guys still act as if Berhalter is a good manager and the only way to move on from him is with Klopp or Pep. It's delusional. Let's just aim to get a manager who could actually be hired to manage a team in one of the leagues where our players play. That would be a HUGE improvement.
You want to get better? Have more friendlys against South American and European countries. You have to see these teams, styles, formations enough times before you become familiar with the matchups.
I remember being in the stadium during the 1994 world cup waiting to watch the USA vs. Brazil on the 4th of July. Before the match started and during half time Rob Stone would come up on the monitor and share goals etc. From other matches. He was the man then and he is the man now. The man doesn't age!!
Well there is only one Messi and Ronaldo lol. And players like them are already very rare in general. It takes more than just population and immigration to have those type of players though.
You could hire an experienced national team manager without breaking the bank for club managers like Klopp or Pep, maybe Mourinho though - he's guaranteed to take players out of their comfort zone at the least
Stop with the delusions of grandeur… quit lying to your listeners to make them believe we have a shot at getting pep or klopp. You guys have been doing this for thirty years?…you know better!!!
@@fernandom1299 There’s definitely people echoing that it is the case. Kasey Keller said on ESPN there is an equal pay structure with the Men’s and Women’s coaches. I don’t know what is true or not.
The USA should get an Argentinian coach they know how to get the best out of their players known fact Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela and obviously Argentina their coaches are all Argentinian. They should hire one to see what they can do with the USA players
If they can't get the top dogs to take the job, they could ask Ranieri to come out of retirement. His grinding underdog commando mentality would suit what this team needs to get out of this mess.
The USMNT has always been average or below average. Let’s keep it 100 here. The kids playing in the USMNT are a bunch of guys who grew up playing in upper middle class traveling club teams.. pampered young men who don’t know what it means to play ghetto ball, who don’t know how it means to dream to play so they don’t grew up going hungry. How is the UMNT players going to understand the hunger to win over these other harder., more skilled players..(?) never. I have a son and a daughter whop play in a park district team, they play so well and so skilled, the local Soccer Club didn’t ask them to try-out.. no. I was approached to let me know my kids both have a place the club. ..because I can’t afford the registration fee. My kids will continue playing and developing at the park district level. Reminds me, of my childhood, growing up poor and a local man paying for me to play in this Club Team. Only reason I played in a Traveling Club team in the rich suburbs of Chicago was because of a man who by chance saw me playing with my brothers by the practice fields of this soccer club
and also, look at university. I mean all those boys on those teams are white. You really think any of those white boys who come from middle-upper class backgrounds can do anything? lmfao.
Canada is on a better progression than the US for the World Cup of 2026, We had a more difficult group for COPA than the US and while we did not score many goals we still made it through.
We need to be real about our expectations of winning in soccer on a global basis. It would be like Argentina, Spain or Italy beating us in American football and that won't happen, either. The top MLS team couldn't beat the lowest EPL team. Soccer in America is the 4th or 5th choice of sport for our best athletes.
Top managers are not stupid: 1. Why would they want to coach a host World Cup nation when they can have the chance of coaching nations that actually can win it and have the players to do it. 2. If it comes to football heritage the US national team is no match for any European club. So no point going to the US for that. 3. If it’s money that they want, they can go to Saudi for a few seasons. US won’t pay them anywhere near that. 4. In club football they have guarantees from the owners or board that they will get the players they want. In the US they will be stuck with this lot of mediocre players. 5. If such coach is more driven by silverware, they would rather take a position in the less competitive European leagues dominated by the likes of PSG, Juventus. The only silverware US may get is the gold cup which is worthless in world football. All in all, it’s a terrible proposition to take the job. They will not even consider it for a second 😂
Pep said he wanted to coach the usa at one point. Maybe it changed now but he did say it when he was at bayern. He also said he would take a national team job before he retired.
It helped when you had a 30 year head start in investing in women sports. Especially women's college soccer. Most other countries have only started doing it in the last 10-15 years and if you notice, teams are catching up.
Why is there never any mention of the craptastic job being done by the dim bulbs at USSF who are just as responsible as Berhalter for the failures of the USMNT?
You are as delusional as Gregg Berhalter if you think Pep Guardiola is gonna coach USMNT at this moment. USMNT gig is NOT a great gig. Pep Guardiola can have a pick of the litter as far as football jobs - club or international - are concerned if he was fired/resigned from Citeh now which doesn't look imminent. And he can live in US doing something else - TV commentator anyone? - or nothing at all. It's not like he is too poor and needs a job in order to come to US.
Why does everyone assume that a European coach will want the job? Many of them won’t want to uproot their families and they won’t want to be somewhere where football isn’t taken as seriously. It’s like asking a top NBA coach to go outside the US to coach. Money isn’t everything to the top coaches.
Why would the heck Pep,Klopp and Ancellotti would want to coach this arrogant and overrated USMNT.Also,to tempt them by saying to them"You can coach us because we're hosting the World Cup" is so dumb.Those guys will quicker coach teams like Spain,France,Germany e.t.c.Before they coach this mediocre USMNT.Cuz those teams are professional and they take football seriously.Not America.America is jokers.
As a Liverpool fan, I can confidently say that he's not retired. He will for sure manage another team probably after a 1 year break but it will never be the US lol.
I think that for the most part CONCACAF held its own in this tournament specially since all the South Americans talk about their teams as if they were the SEC of soccer none of them except Argentina and maybe Uruguay impressed me judging from the scores and with Canada and Panama advancing and Mexico and the U.S barely missing as did Costa Rica getting 4pts in a tough group.
Fox Sports needs better commentators let's start with that. Especially when they're a goal. It is so boring. Andres Cantor for example always gives that passion.
Why in the world would Klopp or Pep ever think about coaching this team? This US team isn't that talented. When are people going to realize this? Look at the US center backs and GK! You think Klopp or Pep want to work with that?
A realistic and good choice is a guy like Herv Renard. An experienced coach with both club and national team set-ups. Is used to getting teams to punch above their weight.
The stadiums arent built for football, which sucks and it has been very obvious at Copa and it doesnt look promising the retrofits for 2026, usa shouldn't have hosted the copa and definitely not the world cup simply based on the fact that there wasnt proper football stadiums available or selected, especially for copa, its disgraceful and disappointing so not very promising for the world cup, it's very apparent football isnt the focus or important for usa 😕
I am an American who lives in Argentina and the Argentine announcers were soooo frustrated and confused as to why the US constantly passed the ball back to Turner even when they were in Uruguay's half. Can anyone explain to me why Adams got a yellow card on that play?
something bangs on my head, if there's too many options, a lot talent players, why did not win panama on american soil? do you have 20 million for a coach?
For sure they need a new coach. Mourinho probably best fits this group. The USA always works with small margins. We have seen them barely get through groups at WCs. Here they failed. Obviously the refs in Copa America are not consistent at all. The Brazil- Colombia game was horrible last night because the ref had no control. Austria- Turkey was so much fun to watch, but the ref was competent. The Euro games are much more interesting and the refs( and the playing culture) are the keys.
The way to get the country excited is to change the way football “soccer” is narrated. This is not baseball or golf!!! The commentators (John Strong, Stu Holden) need to do better. Step up the excitement. Learn from Argentinian commentators, you can hear the passion in every word they say to describe what’s happening on the field. Learn from Pablo Giralt or Gabriel Anello. Good luck USA you have 2 years to practice. 🗣️ Oh and yell the goals with passion not mockery. The audience will appreciate it.
It's weird that people want to say managers see the US Side and think "No way, look at them (players)." when it is the opposite. What motivated Klinsmann was the opportunity to build and push forward. And he seemed to admire the attitude of the prior generation of US players from 2002-2010 that FOUGHT for everything it could get. Sure to be in the US is what it is for bonuses or negatives but they are driven by the challenge and it is a fascinating one. Getting a top coach for that - not an issue. What IS an issue is without a doubt, the USSF and dealing with MLS and the handcuffs and time-wasting of what is a dreadful old boys network that stretches all the way into 'pay to play'.
Totally agree with Rob, USWNT hired Emma Hayes, basically women's soccer version of Pep. Sure we might not be able to entice Pep, but we should be trying and getting the highest profile successful manager for USMNT possible
Not sure why Berhalter sub'ed off the players that were playing well in these games. His strategic moves to change formation and players contributed to the losses. Also, Berhalter should have stuck to his guns with Gio Reyna. That snub he got during the last world cup with Reyna's mother should have been dealt with by kicking Reyna off the team. Instead, he rewards dissent, and Reyna didn't play well anyhow.
We need to be more critical of the players as well, we look like a bunch of mls players out there compared to good teams. we should realistically be ranked top 25 or 30 in the world
If someone like guardiola became coach, the players and all the commentators would lose all ability to deflect blame to the coach if the team wasn’t successful. Someone like guardiola would have all the right to say they gave the players all the info to be successful and it’s not their fault if the players aren’t good enough to execute. And their reputation and paycheck will 100% support that that would be true. Lose all arguments to say that it’s on coach to get best out of the players, the coach is the best so at that point it must be on the players.
I'm from Argentina. I don´t know why you look to EUR for coaches, instead of looking down still through America, maybe down to Brasil or Argentina. I believe the UNMNT is already a speedy team and with a reasonable level of phisicality intensity... so you don´t need more on that, but to add some craftiness to your game. And this is something that the aforementioned could provide. Just my 50c. Best!
Add the end of the day the US men’s soccer team are are at best in the top 30 of FIFA world rankings, and that is not going to change anytime soon unless kids in the US start wanting to play soccer more than Basketball, Baseball, or American Football. The US men’s team can go get the best coach in the world …it might make them a top twenty team but i doubt it
The thing is that we can be a country that can be successfull in many sports including soccer. We have a population of 339 million in this country and you’re telling me that’s not a big enough talent pool to choose from? That’s where the pay to play system is at fault and the kids growing up in latin american communites with huge talent, but no financial means fall through the cracks. The outlook has to change on how soccer is viewed in the US
Would Lalas and crew talk about "why" our Team is so bad??? Break it down for us... tactically... why do we come up short??? What I saw hasn't changed in years, e.g, we can't control the ball under pressure, we continue to play the long ball downfield only helping the other team, no one creating space, and others standing around just watching... It was like watching my son's 14-year rec team!
Those three guys are delusional. This really highlights how limited their football knowledge is. US players are just not at the level they think they are. Period.
We must stop charging so much for our youth leagues and programs; some talent out there couldn't get their chance. Change out ways to be more of a collective.
Once again delusional American points of view. Having big dreams of the US being a major powerhouse of soccer is just another meaningless gesture. You do realize this is 'THE WORLD SPORT". Countries have been striving for decades before the US could even spell soccer...and many of them have not made it. Holland and Belgium are light years ahead of the US and they cant seem to win. Tons of African teams which have some of the top talent in the world...far exceeding ANY American player ever....still struggle to get far in the WC. Think how far the US is from those nations. Yeah that's how far and unrealistic it is to think the US can run with the big dogs. Again, we need to be more like Scotland with our expectations at this moment, in that we just hope to nick a few games against higher rated opponents. Thats really all there is to be excited for.
I think its simple if you take Copa America aside look at the result we struggle beating Trinidad and Jamaica at home we were second away from getting beat from Jamaica on home soil, the signs are there the team under ggg is regressing, Copa America just show what was already happening its time for a new manager.
Okay, I am in Wales, but I have a US passport too. I think it is great how the US wants to get better at soccer...never give up, because so many people want you to fail. The people who keep on about it being called soccer, so what...I grew up in Europe and some of us called it soccer on times. You have gotten better...
Guardiola and Klopp?! These guys are delusional! I'm American, but there is not way coaches of that caliber in their prime will ever take on any national team, let alone USMNT. They need to look at countries like Japan, Croatia, Senegal, Turkey, etc. that typically do well to get out of groups and into quarters, or on rare occasions, semis of international tournaments. And then see what they do in terms of coaching recruitment. You have to learn to walk before you can run! And the biggest elephant in the room - why is grassroots football so horribly over-priced and low quality in this country? The biggest stars all over the world have come from the favelas, barrios, shantys, slums, etc. There is a reason why 'street football' is the best place for kids to learn the beautiful game and hone their craft. The 'club' football scene in this country is just a money-grab operation run by a bunch of grifters. The coaching, the philosophy, everything about it is second-rate. It's astonishing that despite having such a large amount of youth playing football in this country that the talent isn't coming to the surface. The biggest reason is sub-par coaching that emphasizes physicality over actual technical skills and intelligence. Some of the best players, throughout the history of the game, are not physically dominant specimens - Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, Makalele, Kante, Greizmann, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, the list goes on!
Agree with Klopp, Guardiola but missed Xavi Alonso Bayer Leverkusen manager that is Guardiola and Klopp combined at higher speed and has all the medals from championships as club level in England Madrid and Germany speaks many languages
Why are the players getting a pass on this failure? The talent base isn’t there. Uruguay, a relatively poor country with 3.4 M people, has developed a better national team than the US, with 333 M people and vast resources. Sad.
Pep doesn't walk into projects where a side needs to be built up, Klopp does. That said, while it's nice as fan fiction, there's no way either of those guys become USMNT coach.
The thing is, theses players aren't prepared for theses huge pressure situations....from childhood they are not exposed to similar situations i mean no pro/rel means no accountability for theses youngsters and pay to play just shrinks your talent pool in an extreme way... And yeah most of them are now in the top 5 ligues in europe but look at how. Pulisic is at best an above average player in milan, most of the rest are barely starting on mid table teams. How many of them went say to a champions league quarter final? Did the coach ever managed a champions league side? The truth is NOBODY at us soccer, players coach executives...non of them is built for it it is just the ever unreachable next level for them
I would love to see pep (and/or Klopp). Huge investment for soccer and re-gain what you just lost in rapid speed. Let’s make the switch and negotiations happen asap! New coach appointed in next month. Time is NOW. #USMNT
If, and it's a huge if, we were to get Guardiola or Klopp the very first thing they would do is demand complete focus and discipline. That means that for example Mckinnie at 18% body fat wouldn't even dream of being on this squad.
As disillusioned about the allure of coming to America to coach for foreigners as the country is about the quality of who we are as a footballing nation...once again, "American Exceptionalism" keeping us from actual exceptionalism
Where does USMNT go from here? How do they prepare for the 2026 World Cup as the host nation?
Good thing about hitting Rick bottom, is that, we can only go up.
Get A portuguese coach like Paulo Bento.....
why no one talk about the referee's factor....lead to this low mood, bad defeat....????....
If Gregg remains manager I am done with US Soccer after 36 years of following this team and players. US Soccer is insulting the sport and country. The US no longer deserves this World Cup since we are throwing it away.
Easy. They just keep playing their games and hope to over achieve....just like every other average team in the world.
They’re gonna fire Berhalter. Have an exhaustive search. Then re-hire Berhalter.
Just look at who runs USSF - how do you expect them to may a quality decision on coach?
No they're not. They're gonna stay with him. Sunil is pure indian trash
This is the way.

F*ck supporting Gregg. It's insanity to continue on with him. If you support this World Cup then you do not support whats best for US Soccer. If Gregg stays then we should boycott every aspect of the World Cup
We should never boycott. There definitely needs to be a change in the coach. They had the opportunity not to rehire him. Now they have even more evidence they made the wrong decision.
Berhalter rewards Gio Reyna's drama with his mom by keeping him on the team and giving him playing time when he shows he is one of the weaker players on the team. Berhalter looks like a simp now, rewarding people for dissent.
Boycott every aspect of the World Cup you say? How Childish, how much more pathetic can you get…It’s reminisce of a child having a tantrum, and throwing his toys around!! Nobody is going to take notice of you
@@k.p.8955I'm boycotting. It's not even fun to watch
Just keep letting them lose. Panama are now ahead of them in CONCACAF lmfao
Yet again US soccer elite not accepting the fact our youth soccer approach and our approach to college soccer is a disastrous hot mess. Until we start training our kids how to play total football and tiki taka style possession building from the back we are never going to compete at the highest international level. We are still playing kickball US style. Ask yourself why our best men’s players train and play in Europe? Let that sink in….
Tiki-taka is enjoyable to watch but is not played anymore in the modern game. And the best teams in the world don't play tiki taka. The modern game is all about spacing, pressing, and counter pressing.
They train and play in Europe because that's where the money is. It's also why they want to jump as fast as possible to EPL instead of Eredivisie or Bundesliga
You're part right on this but ....missing on....who we are now and taking what we have and making a competitive "TEAM" will never be anyone but AMERICA and this doesn't have to be a bad thing when it comes to soccer but we will never have the incubation for our players to grow up in that...but, we can be elite but most create our game and style ...Defense Wins Championships
Slow Down Rob Stone LOL. Jurgen Klopp is not coming LOL.
When the other Jurgen, A WORLD CUP WINNER as a player, Coached the USA, the players pushed back and kept acting like prima donnas and he called it out. Instead of sticking with him, they let him go.
Are we ready?? I don't think so
1: lower expectations
2: new coach with renewed energy and spirit
3: accountability for players
4: find team identity
5: get fans back on board (by winning!)
1. Absolutely not
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
I’m sorry, your “ solutions “ are a bunch of nothing-burger feelings. The real change needs to be changing the pa-to-play model, cronyism and nepotism even down to high school and academy levels, and getting the top athletes in the pipeline.
@thewalruswasjason101 is a weird double-edged sword. They need to win at a higher level in order to get more top players, and they can't do that at all. Minimum a change of coaching staff from outside the usa is a start
Lower the expectations.... how much lower do they need to be.. we have literally done nothing for the last 5 years.
330 million people and you can’t field a competitive team. Unreal
Half of them are women. That means 150 million; Half of that 150 million are obese. That leaves us with 75 million. Half of that never even heard of soccer. We're now at 35 million. Half of that aren't interested in soccer. We're now at 17 million. Half of that don't have the talent to play the sports at all. It's 8 million now. Only half of that can even kick a ball in a decent club. That gives us 4 million. Half of them are average. We're now at 2 million. Half of them are older players. That gives us 1 million to pick from. Half of them are just inexperienced teenagers. We're now at 500,000.
You don't have that big of a pool as you may think! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you think 330 mil Americans like or care about soccer? Why would a country that doesn’t care bother to field a competitive team? It’s not unreal if you use your brain for 3 seconds.
Clowns .. NO WAY too get Pep or Klopp ..
Pep said he wanted to coach the usa at one point.
Listen to what they're saying. You're probably right but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try to get a big name like Pep or Klopp. Just settling for a manager is why we are in the position now. Swing for the fences because we're about to be embarrassed on our home soil during the WC in 2 years.
@@Joe-i1x2g 🤣If he did say that there's no way he said it with a straight face.
A bunch of overhyped average players coached by an average manager. Not exactly a recipe for success
They may be overhyped but the team still has more talent than many other teams that achieve more. Hopefully the right guy can put them into that position. Not to win the Copa or WC outright but making it to the quarter finals wouldn't be an unreasonable ask.
SPOT ON
Calling greg average is giving him wayy too much credit. Bob Bradley was an average coach and he took multiple teams of far less talent much much farther than our current coach.
Mourinho didn’t want to come to America, that was a decision by his clubs to increase income for the club by commercializing it in the us 🤦🏼♂️
Cool, where is that report? I would like to read it.
@@Joe-i1x2g there is no report because its obvious, this is literally the first time I'm hearing anyone claim that a pre-season tour in the US is for anything other than money. That's why Liverpool went to southeast Asia a few years in a row for friendly games, not because Klopp wants to work there so much but because we have a lot of fans there that are willing to overpay to watch their team play and it's exactly the same for the US tours.
@@Joe-i1x2gisn’t it clear 🤦🏼♂️ all Americans think about is commercializing things, that’s why utd with its American owners always go to the us.
It certainly isn’t for the conditions of the pitches or the atmosphere because both are shite over there and the long travel to the us isn’t beneficial either, it just leaves you with less time to actually put in work. which I why they’d just prefer staying near Europe for sporting reasons, for commercial reasons they go to the us, and a coach like Mourinho cares about sporting reasons.
Just takes some common sense to figure that one out, warm weather training in a place like Spain or Portugal or Italy even would be just as beneficial for sporting reasons but again it’s all commercializing 🤷🏼♂️
@user-pi4ih8rl2x
The same reason NHL does preseason in europe. Or friendlies, although that can be good practice.
@@Joe-i1x2gWhat report? Lol
Manufactured defines what soccer is for this country. It is nothing in comparison to the rest of the world how embedded in the culture the game is.
These guys still act as if Berhalter is a good manager and the only way to move on from him is with Klopp or Pep. It's delusional.
Let's just aim to get a manager who could actually be hired to manage a team in one of the leagues where our players play. That would be a HUGE improvement.
You want to get better? Have more friendlys against South American and European countries. You have to see these teams, styles, formations enough times before you become familiar with the matchups.
Very hard to get a friendly from a European team because of the nations league
@@tevildo45then skip nations league….we don’t owe concacaf anything.
@@tevildo45then go South America. If you produce the dollars you can have Argentina playing in any city of the USA.
@@tevildo45 then we go to them. U.S needs to get out of it's concacaf comfort zone and get serious if it wants to get better.
@@boootybounce420 UEFA also does a nations league
I remember being in the stadium during the 1994 world cup waiting to watch the USA vs. Brazil on the 4th of July. Before the match started and during half time Rob Stone would come up on the monitor and share goals etc. From other matches. He was the man then and he is the man now. The man doesn't age!!
With our population and immigration it's amazing we haven't produced a messi or ronaldo.we also have had youth leagues growing since late 80s.
Well there is only one Messi and Ronaldo lol. And players like them are already very rare in general.
It takes more than just population and immigration to have those type of players though.
They preface their statements too much. Just say what you want to say... stop sugar coating everything.
You could hire an experienced national team manager without breaking the bank for club managers like Klopp or Pep, maybe Mourinho though - he's guaranteed to take players out of their comfort zone at the least
By the way, the World Cup is not based on what YOUR program does, but the drama of the truly great teams that will be playing. Nuf said.
It’s more just wanting to have pride for your team in a home tournament
Jose mourinhos camps were in america cause that's what the glazers wanted
A manager has no control over where they do preseason tours
Stop with the delusions of grandeur… quit lying to your listeners to make them believe we have a shot at getting pep or klopp. You guys have been doing this for thirty years?…you know better!!!
What are they building in Atlanta?
Guardiola and Klopp? Don't we have to pay the women's coach the same salary we pay the men's? Sounds expensive and laughable.
No. They said it on the video. Did you watch it
Lmao they addressed it bro almost verbatim haha. But tbh, I wouldn’t be surprised if the original claims were actually true, or true to some extent
@@fernandom1299 There’s definitely people echoing that it is the case. Kasey Keller said on ESPN there is an equal pay structure with the Men’s and Women’s coaches. I don’t know what is true or not.
@@kalbeeRaimer no way that’s crazy. I’m not surprised tbh. Anyone can say a lie as easy as anyone can tell a truth these days
The USA should get an Argentinian coach they know how to get the best out of their players known fact Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela and obviously Argentina their coaches are all Argentinian. They should hire one to see what they can do with the USA players
Rob Stone and Alexi (and Clint) are the best voices in American soccer.
If they can't get the top dogs to take the job, they could ask Ranieri to come out of retirement.
His grinding underdog commando mentality would suit what this team needs to get out of this mess.
Players have to buy into the mentality, which I feel is the problem
The USMNT has always been average or below average. Let’s keep it 100 here.
The kids playing in the USMNT are a bunch of guys who grew up playing in upper middle class traveling club teams.. pampered young men who don’t know what it means to play ghetto ball, who don’t know how it means to dream to play so they don’t grew up going hungry. How is the UMNT players going to understand the hunger to win over these other harder., more skilled players..(?) never.
I have a son and a daughter whop play in a park district team, they play so well and so skilled, the local Soccer Club didn’t ask them to try-out.. no. I was approached to let me know my kids both have a place the club. ..because I can’t afford the registration fee. My kids will continue playing and developing at the park district level.
Reminds me, of my childhood, growing up poor and a local man paying for me to play in this Club Team. Only reason I played in a Traveling Club team in the rich suburbs of Chicago was because of a man who by chance saw me playing with my brothers by the practice fields of this soccer club
and also, look at university. I mean all those boys on those teams are white. You really think any of those white boys who come from middle-upper class backgrounds can do anything? lmfao.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Canada is on a better progression than the US for the World Cup of 2026, We had a more difficult group for COPA than the US and while we did not score many goals we still made it through.
We need to be real about our expectations of winning in soccer on a global basis. It would be like Argentina, Spain or Italy beating us in American football and that won't happen, either. The top MLS team couldn't beat the lowest EPL team. Soccer in America is the 4th or 5th choice of sport for our best athletes.
Top managers are not stupid: 1. Why would they want to coach a host World Cup nation when they can have the chance of coaching nations that actually can win it and have the players to do it. 2. If it comes to football heritage the US national team is no match for any European club. So no point going to the US for that. 3. If it’s money that they want, they can go to Saudi for a few seasons. US won’t pay them anywhere near that. 4. In club football they have guarantees from the owners or board that they will get the players they want. In the US they will be stuck with this lot of mediocre players. 5. If such coach is more driven by silverware, they would rather take a position in the less competitive European leagues dominated by the likes of PSG, Juventus. The only silverware US may get is the gold cup which is worthless in world football. All in all, it’s a terrible proposition to take the job. They will not even consider it for a second 😂
Pep said he wanted to coach the usa at one point. Maybe it changed now but he did say it when he was at bayern. He also said he would take a national team job before he retired.
They fight for the women and give more to the women because they actually win. Not just win against the top teams but they win championships.
It helped when you had a 30 year head start in investing in women sports. Especially women's college soccer. Most other countries have only started doing it in the last 10-15 years and if you notice, teams are catching up.
@@FrankieBlueEyesindeed
@@FrankieBlueEyes Spot on well said. The women have started to lose a lot more recently.
How deluded are you to think that you could attract these managers 😂😂😂😂
"Lets get Klopp, he's very American with his smile" lol
Why is there never any mention of the craptastic job being done by the dim bulbs at USSF who are just as responsible as Berhalter for the failures of the USMNT?
The foreign coaches probably don't want the job because of the DEI requirements. Let the coaches do their thing unhindered.
What are you going on about? Berhalter's entire staff is white.
Alexi I love you men ever since you made nice comment about Bosnian tim in Brazil ❤ you are also expert in commentating soccer❤❤👍💪🇺🇸
Carlo Ancelotti wont talk to you Rob Stone 😂😂😂😂
You are as delusional as Gregg Berhalter if you think Pep Guardiola is gonna coach USMNT at this moment. USMNT gig is NOT a great gig. Pep Guardiola can have a pick of the litter as far as football jobs - club or international - are concerned if he was fired/resigned from Citeh now which doesn't look imminent. And he can live in US doing something else - TV commentator anyone? - or nothing at all. It's not like he is too poor and needs a job in order to come to US.
Why does everyone assume that a European coach will want the job? Many of them won’t want to uproot their families and they won’t want to be somewhere where football isn’t taken as seriously. It’s like asking a top NBA coach to go outside the US to coach. Money isn’t everything to the top coaches.
Why would the heck Pep,Klopp and Ancellotti would want to coach this arrogant and overrated USMNT.Also,to tempt them by saying to them"You can coach us because we're hosting the World Cup" is so dumb.Those guys will quicker coach teams like Spain,France,Germany e.t.c.Before they coach this mediocre USMNT.Cuz those teams are professional and they take football seriously.Not America.America is jokers.
Klopp has stated he is retiring and has NO PLANS to ever return to coaching. How is it anyone thinks he would want to coach, much less, in the US?
As a Liverpool fan, I can confidently say that he's not retired. He will for sure manage another team probably after a 1 year break but it will never be the US lol.
Jurgen Klopp & Pepp wtf are they talking about? It's the US? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They really are dreaming.
I think you missed the point.
I don't see how anyone can claim this team has underperformed. Clearly, this is just their level.
There is a country in Europe that has similar soccer issues since 1986. It's Poland.
I think that for the most part CONCACAF held its own in this tournament specially since all the South Americans talk about their teams as if they were the SEC of soccer none of them except Argentina and maybe Uruguay impressed me judging from the scores and with Canada and Panama advancing and Mexico and the U.S barely missing as did Costa Rica getting 4pts in a tough group.
Fox Sports needs better commentators let's start with that. Especially when they're a goal. It is so boring. Andres Cantor for example always gives that passion.
Why in the world would Klopp or Pep ever think about coaching this team? This US team isn't that talented. When are people going to realize this? Look at the US center backs and GK! You think Klopp or Pep want to work with that?
A realistic and good choice is a guy like Herv Renard. An experienced coach with both club and national team set-ups. Is used to getting teams to punch above their weight.
The stadiums arent built for football, which sucks and it has been very obvious at Copa and it doesnt look promising the retrofits for 2026, usa shouldn't have hosted the copa and definitely not the world cup simply based on the fact that there wasnt proper football stadiums available or selected, especially for copa, its disgraceful and disappointing so not very promising for the world cup, it's very apparent football isnt the focus or important for usa 😕
I am an American who lives in Argentina and the Argentine announcers were soooo frustrated and confused as to why the US constantly passed the ball back to Turner even when they were in Uruguay's half. Can anyone explain to me why Adams got a yellow card on that play?
Play euro teams…
something bangs on my head, if there's too many options, a lot talent players, why did not win panama on american soil? do you have 20 million for a coach?
Ive said this years ago, Greg Berhalter should have been gone after the world cup, he must have pictures of someone to still have kept his job.
For sure they need a new coach. Mourinho probably best fits this group. The USA always works with small margins. We have seen them barely get through groups at WCs. Here they failed. Obviously the refs in Copa America are not consistent at all. The Brazil- Colombia game was horrible last night because the ref had no control. Austria- Turkey was so much fun to watch, but the ref was competent. The Euro games are much more interesting and the refs( and the playing culture) are the keys.
We need better players.
The way to get the country excited is to change the way football “soccer” is narrated. This is not baseball or golf!!!
The commentators (John Strong, Stu Holden) need to do better. Step up the excitement. Learn from Argentinian commentators, you can hear the passion in every word they say to describe what’s happening on the field. Learn from Pablo Giralt or Gabriel Anello.
Good luck USA you have 2 years to practice. 🗣️
Oh and yell the goals with passion not mockery. The audience will appreciate it.
It's weird that people want to say managers see the US Side and think "No way, look at them (players)." when it is the opposite. What motivated Klinsmann was the opportunity to build and push forward. And he seemed to admire the attitude of the prior generation of US players from 2002-2010 that FOUGHT for everything it could get. Sure to be in the US is what it is for bonuses or negatives but they are driven by the challenge and it is a fascinating one. Getting a top coach for that - not an issue. What IS an issue is without a doubt, the USSF and dealing with MLS and the handcuffs and time-wasting of what is a dreadful old boys network that stretches all the way into 'pay to play'.
Totally agree with Rob, USWNT hired Emma Hayes, basically women's soccer version of Pep. Sure we might not be able to entice Pep, but we should be trying and getting the highest profile successful manager for USMNT possible
Not sure why Berhalter sub'ed off the players that were playing well in these games. His strategic moves to change formation and players contributed to the losses. Also, Berhalter should have stuck to his guns with Gio Reyna. That snub he got during the last world cup with Reyna's mother should have been dealt with by kicking Reyna off the team. Instead, he rewards dissent, and Reyna didn't play well anyhow.
We need to be more critical of the players as well, we look like a bunch of mls players out there compared to good teams. we should realistically be ranked top 25 or 30 in the world
Is the USMNT not competing in the Olympics?
In the Olympics it's the under 23s for the men.
If someone like guardiola became coach, the players and all the commentators would lose all ability to deflect blame to the coach if the team wasn’t successful. Someone like guardiola would have all the right to say they gave the players all the info to be successful and it’s not their fault if the players aren’t good enough to execute. And their reputation and paycheck will 100% support that that would be true. Lose all arguments to say that it’s on coach to get best out of the players, the coach is the best so at that point it must be on the players.
Your midfielder has been forever over-rated.
I'm from Argentina. I don´t know why you look to EUR for coaches, instead of looking down still through America, maybe down to Brasil or Argentina. I believe the UNMNT is already a speedy team and with a reasonable level of phisicality intensity... so you don´t need more on that, but to add some craftiness to your game. And this is something that the aforementioned could provide. Just my 50c. Best!
I think we all know why and it has little to do with football
Add the end of the day the US men’s soccer team are are at best in the top 30 of FIFA world rankings, and that is not going to change anytime soon unless kids in the US start wanting to play soccer more than Basketball, Baseball, or American Football. The US men’s team can go get the best coach in the world …it might make them a top twenty team but i doubt it
The thing is that we can be a country that can be successfull in many sports including soccer. We have a population of 339 million in this country and you’re telling me that’s not a big enough talent pool to choose from? That’s where the pay to play system is at fault and the kids growing up in latin american communites with huge talent, but no financial means fall through the cracks. The outlook has to change on how soccer is viewed in the US
Would Lalas and crew talk about "why" our Team is so bad??? Break it down for us... tactically... why do we come up short??? What I saw hasn't changed in years, e.g, we can't control the ball under pressure, we continue to play the long ball downfield only helping the other team, no one creating space, and others standing around just watching... It was like watching my son's 14-year rec team!
Pep and Klopp talk? Come on now. Not going to happen.
Will USMNT ever get there?
Those three guys are delusional. This really highlights how limited their football knowledge is. US players are just not at the level they think they are. Period.
Alexis Lalas played at the worldcup 1994, when the players and the team had some "coolness" on their side. He is delusional, but knows the sport.
I wonder if Guus Hiddink could be pulled out of retirement?
We must stop charging so much for our youth leagues and programs; some talent out there couldn't get their chance. Change out ways to be more of a collective.
Hello Alexi. That feeling of the national team underachieving. Welcome to feeling English. Those Amish got it spot on.
Pep or Klopp ??? Jajajajajjajajaja put the joint down dudes
Once again delusional American points of view. Having big dreams of the US being a major powerhouse of soccer is just another meaningless gesture. You do realize this is 'THE WORLD SPORT". Countries have been striving for decades before the US could even spell soccer...and many of them have not made it. Holland and Belgium are light years ahead of the US and they cant seem to win. Tons of African teams which have some of the top talent in the world...far exceeding ANY American player ever....still struggle to get far in the WC. Think how far the US is from those nations. Yeah that's how far and unrealistic it is to think the US can run with the big dogs. Again, we need to be more like Scotland with our expectations at this moment, in that we just hope to nick a few games against higher rated opponents. Thats really all there is to be excited for.
I think its simple if you take Copa America aside look at the result we struggle beating Trinidad and Jamaica at home we were second away from getting beat from Jamaica on home soil, the signs are there the team under ggg is regressing, Copa America just show what was already happening its time for a new manager.
Okay, I am in Wales, but I have a US passport too. I think it is great how the US wants to get better at soccer...never give up, because so many people want you to fail. The people who keep on about it being called soccer, so what...I grew up in Europe and some of us called it soccer on times. You have gotten better...
Wishful thinking to get either Pep, Kloop or even Jose.
Guardiola and Klopp?! These guys are delusional! I'm American, but there is not way coaches of that caliber in their prime will ever take on any national team, let alone USMNT. They need to look at countries like Japan, Croatia, Senegal, Turkey, etc. that typically do well to get out of groups and into quarters, or on rare occasions, semis of international tournaments. And then see what they do in terms of coaching recruitment. You have to learn to walk before you can run!
And the biggest elephant in the room - why is grassroots football so horribly over-priced and low quality in this country? The biggest stars all over the world have come from the favelas, barrios, shantys, slums, etc. There is a reason why 'street football' is the best place for kids to learn the beautiful game and hone their craft. The 'club' football scene in this country is just a money-grab operation run by a bunch of grifters. The coaching, the philosophy, everything about it is second-rate. It's astonishing that despite having such a large amount of youth playing football in this country that the talent isn't coming to the surface. The biggest reason is sub-par coaching that emphasizes physicality over actual technical skills and intelligence. Some of the best players, throughout the history of the game, are not physically dominant specimens - Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, Makalele, Kante, Greizmann, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, the list goes on!
Agree with Klopp, Guardiola but missed Xavi Alonso Bayer Leverkusen manager that is Guardiola and Klopp combined at higher speed and has all the medals from championships as club level in England Madrid and Germany speaks many languages
Why would pep or klopp come to the USA?? 😅
Why are the players getting a pass on this failure? The talent base isn’t there. Uruguay, a relatively poor country with 3.4 M people, has developed a better national team than the US, with 333 M people and vast resources. Sad.
Start recruiting some grassroots players. In the USA only rich kids make it to the professional level and they will never will a world cup.
Pep doesn't walk into projects where a side needs to be built up, Klopp does. That said, while it's nice as fan fiction, there's no way either of those guys become USMNT coach.
The thing is, theses players aren't prepared for theses huge pressure situations....from childhood they are not exposed to similar situations i mean no pro/rel means no accountability for theses youngsters and pay to play just shrinks your talent pool in an extreme way...
And yeah most of them are now in the top 5 ligues in europe but look at how.
Pulisic is at best an above average player in milan, most of the rest are barely starting on mid table teams.
How many of them went say to a champions league quarter final?
Did the coach ever managed a champions league side?
The truth is NOBODY at us soccer, players coach executives...non of them is built for it it is just the ever unreachable next level for them
I would love to see pep (and/or Klopp). Huge investment for soccer and re-gain what you just lost in rapid speed. Let’s make the switch and negotiations happen asap! New coach appointed in next month. Time is NOW. #USMNT
If, and it's a huge if, we were to get Guardiola or Klopp the very first thing they would do is demand complete focus and discipline. That means that for example Mckinnie at 18% body fat wouldn't even dream of being on this squad.
As disillusioned about the allure of coming to America to coach for foreigners as the country is about the quality of who we are as a footballing nation...once again, "American Exceptionalism" keeping us from actual exceptionalism
Sam Allardyce. We need to be more pragmatic and realistic. Pep and Klopp could not play their style with this talent pool.
He's had plenty of relegation scraps 😂
Rob Stone thank you your spot on with your analysis.
Why would Klopp or Pep go from coaching world class players to coaching the US national team? Are the players that good?
Don’t even bother with New Zealand. We’re better off playing against our u-23 team
Why should better country bother with the US
