I saw a Mexico team lose to Uruguay in a similar lackluster performance then bounce back & play a very hard fought match vs Brazil (albeit with most of their starters on the bench). I’ll use that as a benchmark, if we win or draw it could be a much better leap forward to what this teams potential could be - if we lose in another embarrassing trouncing then I agree, Berhalter should go. The goal is to win a World Cup, with the amount of soccer being played in America, there is no excuse to place the best talent out there. Go USA 🇺🇸⚽️🇺🇸
You're 100 percent correct. The current Colombian coach has not lost a match ever since he took over . Colombia just got out of not classifying for the last world cup when he did. In football you're either good or not. It takes just about 3 to 4 matches to know.
I don’t understand why more props are give to Colombia, Americans think only about the stats. Colombia is top 3 team in South America - they are the better team. I don’t think the USA could have won period.
@@gaw862 Very puzzling indeed. I am not a former professional soccer/football player like Alexis but I come from a country where football is almost a religion and the idea US can win a world cup for me is more than delusional, it's just pure arrogance. I know there are countries that have ,and had, way more talented players than USA ever had and they have not be able to win a world cup. Best examples are Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal. I understand Alexis is not a player but a media guy now and he had to say things like that but at this point he's looking like the media in Mexico, who pumped the team at the same level as Brazil or Argentina until they get their shower of reality in any given game.
"Following Saturday's 5-1 result, the USMNT is 3-14-5 all-time against Colombia, with the team’s last win coming in a 3-0 victory on March 9, 2005 in Fullerton, Calif. That's 19 years! The team’s eight- match winless streak against Los Cafeteros is currently the second longest of any opponent after Brazil (11 matches)." The US cannot underestimate teams like Colombia that have been pumping out great football players for over 40 years. Colombia is ranked third in exporting players around the world in the Americas (over 467), only below Brazil (first) and Argentina ( second). Uruguay is ranked 4th, and the US is 5th. What's more, most of those players playing abroad are important to their teams such as Chicho Arango or Cucho Hernandez just to name a couple from the MLS. The US needs to humble down, focus on their game and start working their butts off!
@@baraenbojassen6611 I mentioned the players in the MLS because they are well known in the US. Countries like Argentina have been importing quality players from Colombia for years. As a matter of fact, the current top scorer in the Argentina league is a Miguel Borja with River Plate. It's a fact we don't compare to the heavyweights of the world, but we continue to export players, and with hard work and more financial support, we'll eventually have more players in the top teams in Europe.
And you think Brazilian league is a bad league. Where do you think top players come from. Where do you think top teams look to when looking for the best players they can get. Also why do you think Brasil has 5 world cup trophies.
Who said that? That’s one of the most competitive leagues, the guys play in order to have a chance in the big teams in Europe or to give their fans a win bc here fans are crazy about the competition
Absolutely crazy to lose 5-1 to a team and then dump on their players cause they play in Brazil. Let’s see this guy talk smack on Endrick cause he plays in Palmeiras after he scores the winning goal this Wednesday.
Brazil is arguably higher level than ligue 1 in France. Well maybe not top 4 or 5 in France. But a big team in Brazil is for sure better than most mid teams in France or Spain.
@@acruzro95mid Spanish teams are underrated by people who don’t watch La liga. Ligue 1 is arguably worse than the Brazilian league though outside the top 3
@@rafaelrocha3334great players often play in poor leagues. I’m not gonna start a riot because Zlatan played in the Swedish league at Endrick’s age lol. And it doesn’t mean the Swedish league is better than some of the top 5.
The problem is fanboys like you refused to accept the players are not what you fanboys think them to be. Vs Panama=Lost vs Canada=Lost vs Jamaica=Lost… they only get up for Mexico. That’s it! And they can only beat Mexico in USA. In Mexico & Costa Rica they have never won. Vs Costa Rica is been 68 years & vs Mexico is almost 100 years and we still can’t beat them in their home. Let’s start by beating those two teams first in their house then we can seriously think about Colombia. And don’t even mention winning WC… 🤦🏽♂
They also don’t Understand, Colombia have a 22 stride no loses. That’s for a reason. USNMT needs to learn from this. Maybe not now but will serve as a reminder of the great level is out there. You need to be playing as a team with big teams not your average teams of the Concacaf.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he thinks that the USA team goal is to to win the World Cup with what players.??? of every average player that the USA produces Argentina, Brazil , Uruguay, France ,Spain Germany and other big soccer countries they will produce ten more better players. The best USA players right now would be on the bench if they were playing in the Argentinian or soccer Brazilian leagues.
yea bro, i mean look at Uruguay a country with a population of 3 MILLION people can and have produced world class players in the past and present time because they play the sport with HEART PASSION AND MENTALITY
Hello American friend, I am Colombian and I saw the entire game, I can tell you that your country is very well armed and could have put up more of a fight, but they had many mistakes... Something new and much better can emerge from the ashes, don't be disappointed 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hey brother. I know we will see our way through this and be stronger for it. You guys are so impressive recently. I am rooting for you guys to shake things up down there in CONMEBOLL.
Winning just a game in WC is hard even for top teams, so imagine being champion. USA doesn't have any player in any major european team. Reaching a quarter final would be a pretty good result and a semifinal something to celebrate likea championship. But next World Cup will host 48 teams, being USA one of the group leaders. So if USA is lucky enough in the tournament seeding it can have an easy play-off avoiding top-10 teams up to semifinals.
They all play in Brazil. My guy, top tier Brazilian teams are on part or better than mid-table teams in the EPL, imo the best of the top-5 European leagues.
It's like they're forgetting that financially many players are even earning more in the top flight Brazilian and Argentinean teams than mid tier teams in Europe. This has helped these teams become very good and improved the the overall quality of the leagues as well.
Hey we lost 5-1.. maybe if they sign Berhalter for another 5 years he'll eventually not have those results.. more like 4-1 results maybe? I mean that's still improvement.
For years, I defended GGG when message boards were calling for his head on a pike. Since the WC, that is over. I see him now the way his detractors have always seen him. If 11 players from European Big Five leagues cannot collectively put on the national team shirt, and defend the badge, that is on the manager as much as it is on the players themselves. While we're at it, we need proper football people in decision making roles at the USSF. I don't care who they are. I don't care where they're from. But the current situation is unacceptable. Demand better, get better.
Of those 11 players only a few did anything of note last season. The rest dont even rate well, dont start, or play much. However I agree- if you put on the shirt at least muster up courage on the pitch to fight for respect. And GGG has always shown hes not the guy. Sad.
@@ktm4042Robinson, Richards, Scally, McKennie, cardoso, Pulisic all start week in and weak out. McKennie was Juventus best midfielder and Pulisic was good.
@@romelrubio1821 yes sir, like I said only a few did anything of note last season. Even only playing 17 matches, Johnny has looked good for Real Betis. Balogun had decent numbers but an up and down season. If he can develop consistency he can be dangerous. There is talent, but not at the level it takes to be world beaters. Let alone think you should beat a team like Colombia as if its a given.
"Does this mean that Greg is a bad coach?"...this result No. He was a bad coach long before this. Matt Turner said in post-game interview that this game didn't represent who this team is and then he said "We had No answers for what Colombia was doing". Turner certainly has enough of his own issues from this game, but that line seemed like a shot at the coach...at least to me. Don't get me wrong the players on the field need to be able to provide answers to some respect. But the coach has to change when things are going poorly. Greg had no answers. Again, plenty of blame to go around but Greg deserves a bunch of it
Im so sick of the alphabet flags. Its tacky and distracting. They are human and bleed like the rest of us. Theyre not more special than the rest of humanity. Make a holiday of it and be done with it. Not an entire month. Leave politics out of sports and let everyone watch freely.
I never understood in the preview to the game how the media was saying that for the most part, individually, the american players were better than the colombians. In reality, aside from pulisic maybe, none of the americans would be starting for this colombia squad. Many wouldnt even be the first substitutions.
Complacency and comfortable have been a trademark of the USMNT's historically. That's a huge part of their problem. There's no pressure here to perform.
I agree about the low expectations & seeming culture of mediocrity around the USMNT. I wish there was a way to infuse the culture of the USWNT into the USMNT, where the expectation is win it all or it was not up to our level of expectations.
@@williamgarry2635 that's a different situation. For years other countries simply didn't care enough about women's football for it to be a focus, over the last 10 yrs that's changed which is why you're finally seeing other euro countries starting to compete with our women's team. Our women's won't be as dominant as they've been for the last couple of decades now. Sure we are ahead still but those other nations are catching up quickly.
You have it backwards. The culture is there much more for mens. How can you compare. Women won bc there is no global womens game like mens is. Now yes, global woman game is growing and what you see? Uswnt is losing more. Doesnt mean they aremt as good as mia hamm teams just means rest of world has caught up. You cant then say no culture is there. Its just not there compared to Brasils history? Yes. We have to win first to develop that culture. We have to feel that 1st. Ill tell you the problem...you dont need superstars in mens national play. They approach the global futbol game like developing an all star team. Thats not how you do it. Thats not how Germany does it, Italy etc @williamgarry2635
I know US fans got fooled into thinking they were good just because they been beating on Mexico. Newflash, the entire South America looks at Mexico like y’all look at Jamaica
Not true. Mexico has good numbers against the South Americans besides Brazil and Argentina. Mexico just happens to have one of the worst teams they’ve had in a long time.

There was nothing positive to take away from this match from the USA's perspective. If we play this way in the Copa, we won't get out of the group stage. I want to see how we respond on Wednesday against Brazil.
The positive is we all saw how we play won't work and we need to change our style/system (I know most of us already knew that). This match made our limitations stick out like a sore thumb and GGG can't hide it or deny it but I get you sentiment.
Colombia are currently the 5th ranked team in the world (based on ELO rankings, which are far more accurate than FIFA rankings). That being said, the squad seemingly gave up or didn't listen to the coach's instructions. That is extremely worrying.
@@Odibio.Skins. Ah yes, bad countries such as: Japan Germany Brazil Mexico Spain Romania (who finished top in their group above Switzerland in Euro qualifying) Colombia are that high up because they are on a massive win streak and have beaten heavyweights along the way.
I am colombian-american and I think of the USMNT as my second team after Colombia. And it never occurred to me or the people I know that Colombia was going to lose this game, a win was a sure thing but I expected a closer game, maybe a 1 goal difference.
let's be honest here, the USMNT doesn't have defense, 7 minutes in and that lost ball was a gift, and that wasn't the last, most of the goals where because there isn't an idea how to retake the game, when you guys get bombarded by any team you should push the ball out of game to regain momentum, but not a single time USMNT did that.
Lalas was on the field when losing 4-0 to MEX, 4-1 to Colombia and 4-1 to Honduras. "Four is not five", but at the end losing by 4 or 5 is exactly the same landslide
To play a world cup final you need players that won the champions League final. That's how it works and even than it's very hard. Here in the Netherlands we always had and never won,we keep hoping!
It's obvious GGG has no idea how move forward. the team under his direction has made no steps forward. After 5 years, he is as clueless now and he was 5 years ago. Time for a change.
All these USMNT players play better for club. Why do they all play worse on the national team. Because the coach and his system aren't working, so 90% of the blame goes on the coach. Why is everyone scared to say the truth, our coach sucks and our federation isn't serious about winning
Agree! Berhalter wants to play out of the back. You need technical defenders to do this. I cut Ream some slack. He’s older but still plays well for Fulham.
the score makes this defeat a heavier disaster than it should be...but come on people, we lost against probably the best team in the world right about now. they have beaten most of the top teams in the world, as the away team....in less than a year. They are flying in the world cup qualifiers, which down there is an amazing feat...having beat brazil, in their last official game....there was absolutely no chance
This guy could love soccer but I can certainly see that he is not in the capacity of providing a tactical analysis of what happened to the US team…. Wasted my time listening about feelings and attitude on the field where surely fútbol is more than that!
America doesnt get..you do not approach national team game as trying to get superstars, you develop a continuous flow of really good players that play together. Its not difficult. Us front office are derps.
Mr Lalas i am a big fan. Usa 94 was my first world cup that i was conscious (10 years old) and you were the superstar of the team. I am almost 40 now and still feel the same respect for you. Thank you for all you did to the world of soccer. ⚽️
Passing that ball down the middle for the 5th goal was the nail in the coffin. The fact a professional did that was embarrassing. My son would be benched in U13 for doing that.
They lack a true playmaker, Colombia has 2, maybe 3, James, Juan Fernando Quintero and Yaser Asprilla, that's important in the midfield, and the US lacks leadership on the field.
As national teams, these are moments of great opportunity for growth and improvement. Colombia lost against Brazil 9-0 back in the 90s or early 2000s… it was disastrous but that’s how it is. Don’t faint, life goes on and this is Futbol and indescribably beautiful game. Greetings from Colombia ⚽️🌎⚽️✨
That loss you're referring to was on the youth level for Olympic qualifiers. While still a horrendous loss, it's not the same as the actual men's national team. Interestingly enough, Colombia's worst loss was a 9 - 0 defeat to Brazil, but in 1957.
He is incapable of displaying humility. He wants to argue that 4-0 and 5-1 results are somehow significantly different. Then he says that these lousy results do not mean that Berhalter is not a bad coach. He goes on to say that this is a group of men without confidence, direction and authority and the coach “has yet to prove” he can hang with elite competition. He will never admit he’s wrong.
5:51 This guy seems quite optimistic, suggesting that the United States could ever win the World Cup. There is no way the U.S.win in the World Cup when futbol ("soccerl’) isn’t the nation’s primary focus
We can keep on dreaming. Not happening for a looong time. Until we adopt a different or European system it will continue to be the same. The pay to play system is the issue. So many players are left behind as families cannot afford it especially playing at the highest levels MLS Next, ECNL. “Soccer is a CULTURE and not a sport.” Hope folks understand that statement. It’s a sport in the USA and perhaps the least in pecking order after Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey etc. All other countries/nations it’s a CULTURE just like our thanksgiving. So we can keep on dreaming….. go figure.
@@amgmusicsl totally agree, and I don't think is ever gonna happend. Consider as an example Brazil, the five-time World Cup champion. What sets them apart is their unwavering devotion to soccer (‘futbol’)-it’s practically ingrained in their national identity and the US is not. Keep dreaming
Alexis is obviously good friends with the coach. He claims he knows about soccer and then he says that the manager it's not responsible where in every elite federation if this happens the manager gets sacked.
Preparing a team is the coach's responsibility in any sport. Gregg did not prepare the USMNT players in the right mindset for this game! USMNT players respected the game. For the USMNT players, you respect Copa America, you respect your opponent, you respect the beautiful game, and you respect your fan base! Shame on the players and Gregg for not getting them in the right mindset to play a friendly at home! RESIGN GREGG!
@@dannytallmage2971eurocentric much 😂😂😂 clearly you don't know how football is outside of Europe, that's one region with one style, expand your horizons 😜
the issue is that the manager fails to set the right expectations. We could say that the USMNT and Colombia had pretty much similar talent judging by the presence of players in Europe and the roles they play. However, this Colombia team has had a longer process under coaches that had a clear vision of how they want to play. Pekerman did a great job at the helm and Lorenzo was his assistant back then. Now he took the main job (after a disastrous hiatus with Queiroz and Rueda) and continued the idea that made them successful in WCs 2014/18, adding more tweaks to suit the style of the talent he has. It looks like in silence and with work, this Colombia team is paving a way for good results (22 games unbeaten - longest streak in the world, actually). Berhalter has been 5+ years in charge of the USMNT and I am yet to see a match that convinces me that he's the right person in charge. While the players are the ones on the pitch to execute the ideas of the coach, it is obvious that this coach is yet to have solid ideas and we're running out of time to build a team that can be a proper host of 2026 WC. The gap that is existing between UEFA/CONMEBOL with CONCACAF teams is growing bigger with time and the latter teams are yet to generate any solid answers. We went for Emma Hayes because UEFA more than caught up with the success of the USWNT and we needed someone that could help bridge that new gap that was evidenced in the last WC in Australia/NZ. Why aren't we going for top-tier European/South American coaches? Is the PTSD from Klinsmann's appointment that severe?
These men are professionals. They should be able to play well and read the game themselves. Coaches only do so much. I’m not all for GB but when it comes down to it the players need to play the game. They make the decisions IN the field. And the decisions made vs colombia were mediocre at best. You could bring in Guardiola or Ancelotti but youll still have the same players IN the field.
@@AntonioGarcia-tb5zsthat and the fact that Alexi and any sports media outlet attemps to sell the idea we have world class players and we dont, heck Colombia is only ranked lower than usa bc they qualify in conmebol but theyre miles better than us.
USMNT doesn’t play nearly enough games against tough opponents on a regular basis. When they do well in CONCAF, the US media starts to make unrealistic predictions for the future. Playing every four years in the WC isn’t going to make the team better.
IMO, one troubling aspect of that match was how they just gave up after the 3rd goal. Even the crappiest US team of the past wouldn't have given up and kept on fighting until the final whistle. Alexis' generation wouldn't have given up. This team seems to be mentally fragile.
This may be the USA's golden generation on paper but most of these players are bench warmers in europe so when people say they "play in europe" its not accurate. None of these players would make the 26 man roster on any of the top teams
7 of the starting team are starters on their teams in Europe. They play for teams in Italy, Germany, spain and the EPL. A number of them played for teams in Champions League!
Triple G is trying to play a style that does not match his players. He has to adjust the plan to play with the team he actually has, not just what he's comfortable with. More crosses into the box? Ffs.
Stop blaming the players. 5 goals allowed has to be the responsibility of the coach. GGG has proven he cannot improve the team, I would even argue that they played better under BJ. How many more opportunities is he going to get?
If these players are not playing as good as they are, that is on the coach. Especially if the coach has been in charge for over 5 years. These tactics have not been working outside of concCaf yet he tries the play the same every single time. Hes not pep guardiola. And if he was even he changes tactics mid game if needed.
World Cup??! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I root for my country but we’re not even in the top 20 in the world. 🤣🤣. We are CONCACAF champions but that is the extent of our dominance. That’s it. But we do need a new US manager.
We shouldn't make Matt Turner the scapegoat either. If there is a goal because of a shot from a player completely free on the surface it is a problem linked to the defenders because of the goalkeeper.
The fact of the matter is the players played bad and had many mental mistakes. Now the reason for that can very well be that the players just don't believe in the coaching staff and are playing unmotivated. We don't know the exact reason but we do know that America has talented players, and Gregg has had years with trying to get the best performance out of his players and has yet to prove that he has accomplished that goal. Does the Nation need to get embarrassed on our home field at the World Cup before a change is made....
Hosting the world cup eliminates the need to fight for a spot putting this team into a dangerously comfortable mindset. A wiser coach would take advantage of this fiasco to regroup and find new focus but all that is beyond Berhalter's capabilities. The blame resides with those Berhalter.
This final score does not reflect the actual game, usa and colombia had started making changes after the 2-1 score replacing their main 11 to test other players. This is what friendly matches are for, hopefully the coach took notes where to make adjustments.
Apparently the USSoccer Board, after giving the women players their chosen manager (Antonovski) after a mediocre performance in 2019, has given the men players their chosen manager (Berhalter) after mediocre performance in 2022. Perhaps USSoccer doesn’t understand that they serve the fans, not the players.
Actually, there are 4 teams outside Europe or South America which have disputed semifinals: USA (1930), South Korea (2002), Türkiye (2002) and Morocco (2022). Greetings from Panama!!! 🇵🇦
To put any of the blame on Matt Turner is being lazy. Too many low level defensive mistakes. When a team start giving the ball away cheaply, not only is it dangerous, but it build confidence in appoints determination to pressure. And that's exactly what happened. Colombia were determined to win balls on opposing side. Trying to connect a 25 yard pass to your midfield when you have better options is being lazy.
Any proper footballing nation would not allow a coach to stay on board after these results. Fire the coach and pay whatever it takes to get a proper coach. Enough of the BS.
We all need to lower our expectations…sure these guys all play in Europe, great. But none of them are stars or most aren’t even consistent starters…none would be missed by their club team if they left. And yes that goes for Pulisic too. Our team is NOT who the american soccer media thinks they are whether we have greg as the coach or someone else
No 'swagger' ? How bout the defender standing on his eighteen looking all day to do a little left to right pass 25yds straight up the MIDDLE of the field then he had the gall to just stand there and complain that the guy he was passing to didn't come back for his lunatic hospital pass and while crying and doing nothing his teammates try to stop Colombia from scoring AGAIN, already DOWN 4-1! I'd call that a whole heck of a lot of 'swag'. All the kids got it these days.
If Berhalter is for gone after this... there is simply no hope for the US for the US host world cup! The reality is Colombia played half gas... Colombia at full force would have been 10-0!!
I think we need to stop setting unrealistic expectations for this cycle of USMNT players. This group isn't the best the US ever produced (that is clearly the 2002 WC squad), and likely isn't even in top 5 of previous cycles. I think we need to set expectations of just getting out of a WC group is realistic expectation.

"Following Saturday's 5-1 result, the USMNT is 3-14-5 all-time against Colombia, with the team’s last win coming in a 3-0 victory on March 9, 2005 in Fullerton, Calif. That's 19 years! The team’s eight- match winless streak against Los Cafeteros is currently the second longest of any opponent after Brazil (11 matches)."
The US cannot underestimate teams like Colombia that have been pumping out great football players for over 40 years. Colombia is ranked third in exporting players around the world in the Americas (over 467), only below Brazil (first) and Argentina ( second). Uruguay is ranked 4th, and the US is 5th. What's more, most of those players playing abroad are important to their teams such as Chicho Arango or Cucho Hernandez just to name a couple from the MLS.

I mentioned the players in the MLS because they are well known in the US. Countries like Argentina have been importing quality players from Colombia for years. As a matter of fact, the current top scorer in the Argentina league is a Miguel Borja with River Plate. It's a fact we don't compare to the heavyweights of the world, but we continue to export players, and with hard work and more financial support, we'll eventually have more players in the top teams in Europe.
Crazy that players of the quality of Chicho and Cucho aren’t even on the roster should tell you how stacked Colombia are
And you think Brazilian league is a bad league. Where do you think top players come from. Where do you think top teams look to when looking for the best players they can get. Also why do you think Brasil has 5 world cup trophies.
Who said that? That’s one of the most competitive leagues, the guys play in order to have a chance in the big teams in Europe or to give their fans a win bc here fans are crazy about the competition
Absolutely crazy to lose 5-1 to a team and then dump on their players cause they play in Brazil. Let’s see this guy talk smack on Endrick cause he plays in Palmeiras after he scores the winning goal this Wednesday.

Winning just a game in WC is hard even for top teams, so imagine being champion. USA doesn't have any player in any major european team. Reaching a quarter final would be a pretty good result and a semifinal something to celebrate likea championship.
But next World Cup will host 48 teams, being USA one of the group leaders. So if USA is lucky enough in the tournament seeding it can have an easy play-off avoiding top-10 teams up to semifinals.

The arrogance is *dripping* in this comment man
For years, I defended GGG when message boards were calling for his head on a pike.
Since the WC, that is over. I see him now the way his detractors have always seen him. If 11 players from European Big Five leagues cannot collectively put on the national team shirt, and defend the badge, that is on the manager as much as it is on the players themselves.
While we're at it, we need proper football people in decision making roles at the USSF. I don't care who they are. I don't care where they're from. But the current situation is unacceptable.
Demand better, get better.
Of those 11 players only a few did anything of note last season. The rest dont even rate well, dont start, or play much. However I agree- if you put on the shirt at least muster up courage on the pitch to fight for respect. And GGG has always shown hes not the guy. Sad.

"Does this mean that Greg is a bad coach?"...this result No. He was a bad coach long before this. Matt Turner said in post-game interview that this game didn't represent who this team is and then he said "We had No answers for what Colombia was doing". Turner certainly has enough of his own issues from this game, but that line seemed like a shot at the coach...at least to me. Don't get me wrong the players on the field need to be able to provide answers to some respect. But the coach has to change when things are going poorly. Greg had no answers. Again, plenty of blame to go around but Greg deserves a bunch of it

I never understood in the preview to the game how the media was saying that for the most part, individually, the american players were better than the colombians.

Complacency and comfortable have been a trademark of the USMNT's historically. That's a huge part of their problem. There's no pressure here to perform.
Complacency and comfort is pretty much mls's motto so makes sense tbf

Agree! Berhalter wants to play out of the back. You need technical defenders to do this. I cut Ream some slack. He’s older but still plays well for Fulham.

Absolutely no defense, no cohesive play. Just horrible.
There is clearly no Ramos, no Pepe, no Jermaine Jones, Beckerman, or Michael Bradley in this group.
They lack a true playmaker, Colombia has 2, maybe 3, James, Juan Fernando Quintero and Yaser Asprilla, that's important in the midfield, and the US lacks leadership on the field.
As national teams, these are moments of great opportunity for growth and improvement. Colombia lost against Brazil 9-0 back in the 90s or early 2000s… it was disastrous but that’s how it is.

4-0 and 5- 1 are the same
the issue is that the manager fails to set the right expectations. We could say that the USMNT and Colombia had pretty much similar talent judging by the presence of players in Europe and the roles they play. However, this Colombia team has had a longer process under coaches that had a clear vision of how they want to play. Pekerman did a great job at the helm and Lorenzo was his assistant back then. Now he took the main job (after a disastrous hiatus with Queiroz and Rueda) and continued the idea that made them successful in WCs 2014/18, adding more tweaks to suit the style of the talent he has. It looks like in silence and with work, this Colombia team is paving a way for good results (22 games unbeaten - longest streak in the world, actually).
Berhalter has been 5+ years in charge of the USMNT and I am yet to see a match that convinces me that he's the right person in charge. While the players are the ones on the pitch to execute the ideas of the coach, it is obvious that this coach is yet to have solid ideas and we're running out of time to build a team that can be a proper host of 2026 WC. The gap that is existing between UEFA/CONMEBOL with CONCACAF teams is growing bigger with time and the latter teams are yet to generate any solid answers. We went for Emma Hayes because UEFA more than caught up with the success of the USWNT and we needed someone that could help bridge that new gap that was evidenced in the last WC in Australia/NZ. Why aren't we going for top-tier European/South American coaches? Is the PTSD from Klinsmann's appointment that severe?
These men are professionals. They should be able to play well and read the game themselves. Coaches only do so much. I’m not all for GB but when it comes down to it the players need to play the game. They make the decisions IN the field. And the decisions made vs colombia were mediocre at best. You could bring in Guardiola or Ancelotti but youll still have the same players IN the field.

@@AntonioGarcia-tb5zsthat and the fact that Alexi and any sports media outlet attemps to sell the idea we have world class players and we dont, heck Colombia is only ranked lower than usa bc they qualify in conmebol but theyre miles better than us.
USMNT doesn’t play nearly enough games against tough opponents on a regular basis. When they do well in CONCAF, the US media starts to make unrealistic predictions for the future. Playing every four years in the WC isn’t going to make the team better.
True. 90% of their wins are against CONCACAF teams
IMO, one troubling aspect of that match was how they just gave up after the 3rd goal. Even the crappiest US team of the past wouldn't have given up and kept on fighting until the final whistle. Alexis' generation wouldn't have given up. This team seems to be mentally fragile.

Stop blaming the players. 5 goals allowed has to be the responsibility of the coach. GGG has proven he cannot improve the team, I would even argue that they played better under BJ. How many more opportunities is he going to get?
If these players are not playing as good as they are, that is on the coach. Especially if the coach has been in charge for over 5 years.

We shouldn't make Matt Turner the scapegoat either. If there is a goal because of a shot from a player completely free on the surface it is a problem linked to the defenders because of the goalkeeper.
Alexis. Saludos desde Ecuador, Guayaquil aún recuerdo tu paso por Emelec.
The fact of the matter is the players played bad and had many mental mistakes. Now the reason for that can very well be that the players just don't believe in the coaching staff and are playing unmotivated. We don't know the exact reason but we do know that America has talented players, and Gregg has had years with trying to get the best performance out of his players and has yet to prove that he has accomplished that goal. Does the Nation need to get embarrassed on our home field at the World Cup before a change is made....
This is the best satire soccer podcast on YT! 😂😂😂😂
"Matt Turner was once a transcendent shot stopper" 😂😂😂😂😂
Hosting the world cup eliminates the need to fight for a spot putting this team into a dangerously comfortable mindset. A wiser coach would take advantage of this fiasco to regroup and find new focus but all that is beyond Berhalter's capabilities. The blame resides with those Berhalter.
This final score does not reflect the actual game, usa and colombia had started making changes after the 2-1 score replacing their main 11 to test other players. This is what friendly matches are for, hopefully the coach took notes where to make adjustments.
Colombia played in 2nd gear the whole match
Dudes weren't even trying and scored 5 goals... Dude, no comparison!

Apparently the USSoccer Board, after giving the women players their chosen manager (Antonovski) after a mediocre performance in 2019, has given the men players their chosen manager (Berhalter) after mediocre performance in 2022.

I think we need to stop setting unrealistic expectations for this cycle of USMNT players. This group isn't the best the US ever produced (that is clearly the 2002 WC squad), and likely isn't even in top 5 of previous cycles.
