As some are saying, this team is made of spoiled kids who never suffered. On top of that, it doesn't help that Nike also has a hand of the US's misfortunes on the field and organization. This whole organization needs to be disbanded and made new without anyone from the previous organization.
This is why I like watching USA rugby over soccer. All of the fans know we're shit, but as long as we beat Canada and don't embarrass ourselves in front of a tier one country, we're happy.
I remember thinking how promising the US losses against Ireland and Italy were at 2011 Rugby World Cup. We didn't win, but there was progress. And hey, Australia didn't even hang 80 on us that year.
To be fair on the squad, their manager sucks and he somehow was brought back. Kinda reminds me of Brazil's Football Confederation's clowncart but with titles and all.
Hands down! The best generation of the U.S. national team was when they had Tim Howard in net, Micheal Bradley in defence (but who could play make), Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan making magic up front!! That team was fun to watch growing up.. those class of players have never really been replaced That being said, I want to shout out Team Canada on what this national team has been able to achieve with a much more difficult group! congrats and best of luck to America’s neighbours to the North! 🇨🇦 🍁 Good luck Canada and well done!!
Yea I remember playing fifa 15 with Seattle sounders and Dempsey that was the golden generation not today right now pulisic is the only player who seems to have passion
Not a soccer fanatic..but the eye test told me..that the team was head and shoulders below the average tier teams..who the people are putting this together they need to be changed asap..
@@1972dsraithis generation team is just as bad as the previous decades. Our best players don’t make it to the top here in the US. It’s pay to play here. All our best players are construction workers or in the normal workforce😅 The best players didn’t get the economic opportunity to play. When you look at the best players from the world most of them come from dirt poor areas
You need to bring in a top coach who can at least get the most out of these players, but remember he’s not a magician and can’t work miracles. US fans just need to be realistic. You play in CONCACAF against mainly mediocre opposition.
Here's a thought: If they play like shyte, maybe it's because "Hey look, we're automatically in the Cup in '26-- why bust our asses?" I suppose the best that can be hoped for is that they play like the USA Cricket team just did, i.e., "Sure we're in on a free pass, but we're STILL gonna take the whole thing seriously!"
The cricket team did well in the World Cup, at least until they came up against the Windies and England. I think they ran out of steam a bit at that point.
The Copa America is the world's 2nd or 3rd (depending how you rate it vs the Euro's) most prestigious international tournament after the World Cup. If that truly doesn't motivate players then there's no hope......

Lalis is the reason I couldn't stand to watch the US team for a long time. Be humble be proud your there and try hard why is that so hard for the US soccer media to tell us? If the Netherlands, Denmark, Columbia, Cameroon etc haven't won the cup why should we when it is our 4th or 5th favorite sport without any of the youth development set up to make a true back to front winner
Does he think the US can win the world cup? If so, then yes he is very delusional. Success is subjective and if they can reach the knockout stages they’ve done well. They’re never going to beat any top nation with this team even if you had Pep or Klopp managing it, but they would get more out of what they have to work with.
Actually there was a 4 game stretch the US dominated by showing up and putting games away. Thats the 4 game stretch Gregg wasn't managing. Thats the best SOccer we played in 6 years. The problem is Gregg and the fact people are not seeing it really irritates me to no end.
Wait what? Being a fan of the most popular book series of all time makes you a spoiled kid?? Thats what we're doing now, reading books means youre spoiled? Nah this country is F**KED 😂
Not really when you remember they all play in CONCACAF where they’re competing against mainly mediocre opposition. They only really get tested in friendly games against a top side thats not playing for anything or when invited to play in the Copa.
If the US can’t beat an average team like Panama you’re hardly going to beat Uruguay, one of the best teams in South America. You had to win the game and never looked like doing so. I think you only created about three decent chances in the whole game.
Ricardo Pepi is the prime example of the team USA Soccer player, plays in Europe, doesn’t even start for his club, is very untalented, and when he is on the pitch so constantly does mistakes that cost them the game
Culture People live and breath football. support their local clubs big or small. No bandwagon, team colors represent an identity, neighborhood, city. Other countries have pyramid levels 1st, 2nd, 3rd division leagues. A team can go up or down which gives weight to fighting to stay atop not just fighting for 1st place. U-10, U-12, U-17, U-20 playing levels for young talent. Applies to national and club level. Teens can go professional at 17 depending on country. Need right people with vision to run an efficient football association. Small countries like Croatia, Uruguay are examples. Play in tournaments national and club level, Copa America and Copa Libertadores/Copa Sudamericana. Have players know what it’s like to play against top talent in tough sometimes unfriendly environment. Nothing like going into an intimidating hostile stadium like Boca Juniors La Bombonera or the tense high altitude of La Paz Bolivia. US has everything to succeed a big young population, infrastructure already in place. Comes down to right people in charge to use tools that USA already has. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think the MLS would really benefit from having promotion/relegation. It would make a huge difference to player mentality knowing they have to fight just to stay up.
Only one problem all this time all along They call it soccer That is the only problem Trust me, once they accept to call it football then quality and class will improve automatically
This is our most talented side but I can't blame the players when it is clear the system isn't good. Now you can blame them for their professionalism and attitudes they have as I believe this team is soft. They are tight as a unit but don't want to do what it takes to win.
Heres the reality. The only stuff up was against panama. Against Uruguay, even though you guys lost, you can hold your head high, a lot of teams including Argentina and Brazil, have recently lost to them. And also another point is that every nation has bad tournaments. The key thing is how the team and federation respond to this. The world cup is in 2 years, plenty of football to be played and more importantly, time to get it right.
It’s ashamed that there are more kids playing organized soccer then any other sports after we lost to Brazil 1-0 at 1994 World Cup. In 30 years the fact that we haven’t gone far in World Cup or even won a World Cup. Until we get a quality coach we will continue to struggle

Were we not one red card away from advancing? I am a moderate soccer/football fan. I have been watching the Copa and Euros as time allows. I could not watch last nights game vs. Uruguay. I don't know how it's the coaches fault, as that seems to be the sentiment, yet, had the U.S. advanced, then we wouldn't be hearing anything. I don't think YOU said that the coach has to go, just soccer friends of mine. Seriously, how is it his fault, Weigh (Sp?) got a red card early on vs. Panama?
@@SippyCupAdventures Ya he knockout the spanish dude and got red but u kant blame him cuz he Black an from Brooklyn that wat go on in Brooklyn it how ppl go
@@PacmanBrunneryeah good point since it's ghetto and ppl act up in Brooklyn, he should play ghetto and act up and make shit harder for his team. I don't give a fvck if he's black he got a red and he suck likes the rest of the team do
@PacmanBrunner he's a professional soccer player along with the rest of them, he should have kept a cool head now other teams know they can target him and rile him up. He's a liability lol.
To be honest even this US side is not a one that could overwhelm everyone, it should be a strong size that may as well be top 4 in both Americas or sth like that on a good stretch but it not some amazing team with World Cup winning potential. It’s ceiling is probably playing like Swiss in this EURO, which though is not bad at all
Hahahaha! This comment section is the average comment section of football fans that are not Argentina! Nice to see that the USA has bought a ticket to ride the frustrated football fans' bus.
Stop blaming the players! We already know the players are at fault but they can only execute the game plan set out by the coach. This team is a product of their coach and federation. The focus should not be on the players but on the people that set them up for failure
TIM HOWARD was Superman! We weren't that good then, we are sure not better today. We just don't have that guy as a Goalie> WHY??? Because Futbol is actually more of an art than an American sport. We can't just select the Tallest,Strongest,Fastest to be the best players because those are not advantages for futbol at all! Have you seen the new Brazlian wonder kid?? How about the actual physical ability and built of Messi?? You get the point now? FUTBOL WILL NEVER BE AN AMERICAN SPORT BECAUSE IT DEFIES ALL LOGIC FOR 'ATHLETES" IN THIS COUNTRY
To summarize this in the best way possible -- We, as Americans, are not dedicated nor enthusiastic enough to compete in a sport that is STILL bottom on the list for our leisure interests. We are not impoverished like Ecuador and/or Colombia. USA has opportunities far beyond just soccer/football, so we take this entry for granted cos WHO CARES!? Unless USMNT grows talent and increases fan interests, we are forever in purgatory
i think its crazy that its not trivial to say the sergino dest has more respect and desire for the stars and stripes than 90% of the squad… and he barely spent any time here… we missed him bad
Its true, we dont have a golden generation, Belgium, Croatia and Chile did. Also, the sports media is highly ignorant on soccer-footbal. Most countries, including the US , have success in waves, we did good in 94, we mess up 98' and 06', have a superb 02, and decent in 2010 and 2014. Progress in soccer isnot an upward curve, I kean, look Italy or Netherlands. We werent beating Uruguay, and losing Weah vs Panama fokmer us, but the team should've been more resilient. Atkesst the old 90s team had grit and spirit. You cant blame it on Berhalter.
@@andu1854huh? A Canadian hasn't won a Stanley cup since 1993? Lmao I know you meant a canadian city. But that still don't make sense . The nhl is not countries lol and the players are from all over the world. Playing on anyteam. Hell one of the best american players plays on a canadian team. Not to mention that most of the nhl is Canadian born
@@Precisely641 actually our under 20 American football team is the world's best they just won a few days ago. Lmao America got smoked by Japan and again by austria. 4 place finish
If we want a good national team then we have to start at the base of the pyramid : Youth development. First : the USSF must ensure that everywhere in the USA the parents of a child do not have to pay more than $250 (license + club membership) for him to be able to play all year round. Then we must develop academies (in professional clubs) for the best kids aged 13 to 16 yo, 100% free for families.
The problem is that the USSF is a business venture - regardless of its status as a non-profit - and is more concerned with making money than actually creating the infrastructure necessary to turn the US into a true power in soccer.
Not true. USA played very well in Copa America. They lost but with dignity. They have a good team. US soccer has been on the up since 2002. I believe you need to watch these games again . In sports you don’t always win. It’s how you play. They played well.
If America was actually competent and understanding the feeling of true victory then America would change its mindset into a Football (not American Football) But real football into its pipeline and jump start the youth in training football academies.. So the US will host the next World Cup, it better that you prepare the event with the utter amount of respect for this hard performing sport.
Let me stop you right there. Down right un-American? You guys never had a decent football team, never! Even the fact that you keep referring to it as "soccer" proves that you don't really understand the game. I mean, just look at you "playoffs", and all the crazy stuff you tried to do to "soccer" when you tried to make it popular in USA. And also, Diana Ross...
Since when did the US care about soccer? I strongly advise you to stop doing that, only heartache and misery await.Keep to sports that no one else plays , or gives a damn about , like Baseball and American Football.You will never, ever ,amount to much in world football, and loserville is not a place that the American psyche can abide.
@@markphc99 It doesn’t hurt me. I slept very well last night. Sorry to disappoint you, little child. I bet you’re too cowardly to tell me what pathetic country from which you originate. 🤣
I’d have to disagree with you. I don’t really care about how much passion or running around you’re willing to do. No amount of passion will replace footballing ability or skill. The goal is to be great not get a result. Also it seems only American rated their team so highly, cmon lad that team is average at best and so are most of those players
We suck cuz our players are standard american footballers. Kids whos parents had enough money to put them on a travel team and so the were pampered and didnt have to ever faace adversity or work hard to play. And even if they "play" in europe, other than Pulisic nobody else really does much in those leagues, or they play for a shitty team or lower leaue team. But cuz they play in europe its our golden generation.
As some are saying, this team is made of spoiled kids who never suffered. On top of that, it doesn't help that Nike also has a hand of the US's misfortunes on the field and organization. This whole organization needs to be disbanded and made new without anyone from the previous organization.
True, Football/Soccer there is unfortunately a rich kids sport in the USA, unlike in most countries where anyone can access it and its for the poor.
This is why I like watching USA rugby over soccer. All of the fans know we're shit, but as long as we beat Canada and don't embarrass ourselves in front of a tier one country, we're happy.

Canada is lousy at rugby
@@lawnself6110that’s true. Canada is absolutely shit too. So fuck em
Don't look at the opposition's free kick, look at me! 1-1 , boys 1-1! Play as if Bolivia will hold the draw!

Kinda reminds me of Brazil's Football Confederation's clowncart but with titles and all.

I know you meant a canadian city. But that still don't make sense . The nhl is not countries lol and the players are from all over the world. Playing on anyteam. Hell one of the best american players plays on a canadian team. Not to mention that most of the nhl is Canadian born
😂😂😂😂😂😂 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁
When was the last time y’all won anything?
@@Precisely641 actually our under 20 American football team is the world's best they just won a few days ago. Lmao America got smoked by Japan and again by austria. 4 place finish
If we want a good national team then we have to start at the base of the pyramid : Youth development.
First : the USSF must ensure that everywhere in the USA the parents of a child do not have to pay more than $250 (license + club membership) for him to be able to play all year round.
Then we must develop academies (in professional clubs) for the best kids aged 13 to 16 yo, 100% free for families.
I really want to like AL but he’s kinda annoying . I’m rooting for Canada since usa got grouped. We didn’t even accomplish the bare minimum
The problem is that the USSF is a business venture - regardless of its status as a non-profit - and is more concerned with making money than actually creating the infrastructure necessary to turn the US into a true power in soccer.
Not true. USA played very well in Copa America. They lost but with dignity. They have a good team. US soccer has been on the up since 2002. I believe you need to watch these games again . In sports you don’t always win. It’s how you play. They played well.
If America was actually competent and understanding the feeling of true victory then America would change its mindset into a Football (not American Football) But real football into its pipeline and jump start the youth in training football academies..
So the US will host the next World Cup, it better that you prepare the event with the utter amount of respect for this hard performing sport.
And the American Football team lost in the IFAF u20 tournament to Japan and Austria. WTF is wrong with this country
Let me stop you right there.
Down right un-American?
You guys never had a decent football team, never!
Even the fact that you keep referring to it as "soccer" proves that you don't really understand the game. I mean, just look at you "playoffs", and all the crazy stuff you tried to do to "soccer" when you tried to make it popular in USA.
And also, Diana Ross...
This is probably the worst take on the man’s USA team
Ohhh brotherrrr😑😑😑😑
You think you're down bad ... Try being a Mexico fan 😂
Do you want your national team to be competitive? Then take things seriously, by starting to call it what it is: FOOTBALL
This pleases me 😂
Truth
This guys honest! 🇺🇲⚽🤑
Since when did the US care about soccer? I strongly advise you to stop doing that, only heartache and misery await.Keep to sports that no one else plays , or gives a damn about , like Baseball and American Football.You will never, ever ,amount to much in world football, and loserville is not a place that the American psyche can abide.
Congratulations on the most childish and uneducated post of the thread. 😂😂
@@Beachgirl1the truth hurts , as it should
@@markphc99 It doesn’t hurt me. I slept very well last night. Sorry to disappoint you, little child.
I bet you’re too cowardly to tell me what pathetic country from which you originate. 🤣
American Football? We freaking lost to Japan and Austria
Lol the u.s needs to stop thinking there good
I’d have to disagree with you. I don’t really care about how much passion or running around you’re willing to do. No amount of passion will replace footballing ability or skill. The goal is to be great not get a result. Also it seems only American rated their team so highly, cmon lad that team is average at best and so are most of those players
The 2004 European Champions would disagree with you.
How do you expect them to play proudly for their country when you have a federation that does not make them show respect and sing our National Anthem.
We suck cuz our players are standard american footballers. Kids whos parents had enough money to put them on a travel team and so the were pampered and didnt have to ever faace adversity or work hard to play. And even if they "play" in europe, other than Pulisic nobody else really does much in those leagues, or they play for a shitty team or lower leaue team. But cuz they play in europe its our golden generation.
Thats actually a lot of countries...James isnplaying inSao Paulo not a European team but he's still Colombia's number 10.
Don’t fell bad look at Poland
On the brightside, its soccer and nobody cares
