Berhalter’s return is an assured sign of USSF’s unwavering commitment to bone crushing mediocrity, mismanagement, and their desire to claw their way, kicking and screaming, to the middle. What an enormous disappointment.
Yeah but he gets them into the WC and another coach is a risk... Solid is good enough for a WC team that usually don't have elite managers
@@mattsmith1126 They automatically qualify because they are the hosts in 2026. What are you on about ?
@@phightinphil25 did they automatically qualify for Qatar? he’s done solid work for the USMNT and helped basically turn the team around from where they were 4-5 years ago why not build on the solid work from Qatar?
@@getn_bodies494 Because he looks less impressive with a far superior team than Klinsmann did in 2014, and Klinsmann isn't really a coach, he has had more success as a recruiter and football ops guy. With this attitude another round of 16 exit is all but guaranteed.
We are not baffled. We know they are bad at their jobs across the board. They said they view their job as growing the game in the US. The USMNT coach’s job is to WIN a World Cup. That is their only job. Any other answer is wrong. Their process has NEVER selected a World Cup champ.
The US’ best finish ever was 90 years ago when we finished 3rd. In 2026 the Cup is on our soil. Our focus should be to better that achievement and we are hiring a guy who is openly happy to lose in the first game of the knock out stage. Berhalter Out.
"we've put all the candidates through mental and psychological evaluation" 😂😂 only in the US will you hear nonsense like that
That's that woke nonsense
@@tacticalmanagerbabymommaak5825 does bro know what woke even is
@@MbappeDaGoat The categorical weakening of moral values in order to achieve "happiness" and inclusively for all.
and by all the candidates they mean zero. They interviewed no one. They planned to bring that mope back all along
@@tacticalmanagerbabymommaak5825 its not woke, lol. I swear that word has lost all meaning 😂 No, this is the language u hear all over corporate america, its just a long way of saying 'we're not really doing anything but we're pretending to so we can cut our cheques and vacation in our second home in Florida with our yachts'
Copa America Hosts. WC hosts. Great opportunity to grow the sport and USSF does this. Craig is 100% right.
the USSF and the MLS no longer care about growing the sport. They are about maximizing the profit of the status quo. evidence of this is our National team being put behind paywalls and when Messi gets to the US I predict all inter-Miami games being placed behind one. We need new leadership in the USSF period. Can we voter for that? lol nope
Dying to see Argentina to beat them 8- 0 😂😂😂.
@@shubhammunda4758 Similar to Brazil as host with the 2014 World Cup.
@@shubhammunda4758I like thee vote of confidence that we’ll play Argentina, I think in the quarter finals peru beats us 2-0. When us is allowed to play their game plan, they look like a top 15 team in the world, when their first plans stopped they look like a top 30 team and when they’re down 2 or more goals they look like a top 60 team. They don’t adapt to pressure well at all.
@@jamesh684 to be fair though, the same team that couldn't get out of the hex got the US into the semi finals of the copa america in 2016
Craig can be a little much sometimes but he is spot on about this! Mexico are trending down and aren't the force they used to be in CONCACAF, so beating them at this point is fruitless. Besides the horrible WC show, I hope people don't forget how outclassed the US was against Canada.. Burhalter has no clue what he's doing on a global stage, "tactics" is an alien word to him
They lost to Canada but to pretend they were totally out classed is a reach. They played flat but still looked more like the more talented team.
@@JJ-nu8qi
Nah the last time they played against Canada the USMNT were dominated.
Because he put his MLS players as starters.
@davidmontgomery1442 Canada played in the toughest Group in the tournament. All the US had to do to get through was beat Iran.
"Mexico are trending down and aren't the force they used to be in CONCACAF, so beating them at this point is fruitless"
What an utterly dumb take.
>Horrible WC show
Another dumb take.
Thank you Craig Burley! You literally voiced the same sentiment the majority of the fan base shares. We need more mainstream coverage like this.
But when he says the same thing about pulishit is xenophobic?
@@limofootballhe just doesn’t like Chelsea
@@limofootballPulisic is awesome, your just a bitter hater thats not a USA fan. Pulisic lives in your head rent free😂
Usmnt just wants to remain a low level team
We're winning the 2026 world cup!
Its coming to LA whether you like it or not
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sadly, it looks that way - it seems to be more important to the USSF that the men help fund the USWNT then to actually be great on the world stage even though they now have the talent to compete at a higher level but are held back from the top down. Competing in Concacaf is one thing but at the WC Berhalter was absolutely schooled in tactics by Van Gaal. A year from now when the Copa America is played in the US, we will know where they really are.
@@dexterwestin3747 they can afford to do it, it’s just a sorry excuse. If the USMNT pulls its weight, there would be no issue paying the women’s team
Correct. This isn't about the USMNT winning and being competitive on a world stage. This is a corrupt "woke" organization more concerned about political agendas. This might be the best pool of players the USMNT has ever had, but it won't matter as long as these clowns are running the show.
@@dexterwestin3747 Berhalter was paid more than Spain and Belgium's coaches. Funding is not an issue. Just another excuse from them.
Lol. Craig is right on. USSF is Embarrassing!
never liked craig but in this instance, his commentary is spot on
Sad day for USMNT. We beat Mexico 3-0 and running high on momentum with a good young team ready to compete at a high level just to take a big step backwards SMFH 🤬
I don’t understand why they didn’t go for someone like Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, or Pep Guardiola to be the US’ national manager. Not saying they would’ve said yes but I don’t think they are managers of any national team and it would make sense since they’ve all had club success within the decade.
Go cry to gio reyna
@@victorgutierrez6209 I agree they should have looked for someone else with more international stature, but none of the three you mentioned are realistic for the USMNT. Guardiola just won the treble, and now would want to manage the USMNT? Really?
@@alangrund5031 you’re right they are a very far reach but I mean with the amount of money the federation has to throw around they could gotten someone of a way higher stature and experience than resigning this idiot
@@alangrund5031 I was just throwing out names of coaches who got success out of their players in the last 10 yrs. Obviously there’s more out there those were just the 3 that came to my mind at the moment. I wouldn’t mind if they got Joachim Löw Germany’s former manager since he’s looking for a job.
"We conducted a comprehensive research " and still went back to the sacked coach😅
He was never sacked. His contract ran out.
@@jackduncan6422 They could have extended it, so in theory yes, they let him go.
@@jackduncan6422 you clearly just want to say something. I'm pretty sure you know what I meant
He hadn't been sacked technically. They simply let his contract expire.
comprehensive search - translation - they went out for a beer
For once someone in the US Soccer media calls out this bs hiring process!! Thank you Craig 👏
We hired someone to recommend our former coach!!!! 😂😂😂🤡🤡
Yea, must've been a good pay day. Can't imagine anyone else wanting to use their services.
@@Kickingit06
Especially since the man has 0 knowledge of U.S. Soccer.
Yeah. Amateur hour
@@lennyjenkins9931well US soccer isnt exactly great. And no i dont consider US womens soccer to be on part with us european football pr south american mens football. The womens are good at there own tournament but the Us women suck compared to European men teams or south american teams. Its the reality that we all knoe but hide. US is overrated and has no knowledge of football amd pretends it does.
Craig Burley basically described how much of a joke US Soccer is and will always be.
Yep always amd yanks always want to bring up the overrated less skilled and competitive US womens world cups. Lol sad. Theyll never win the oldest amd prestigious world cup with a incompetent federation like that. Yanks dont know football!!!! Never will change ..they can get away with it in womens tournaments as most other countries dont care for it or even imvest in it all but in mens tournaments its far more technical amd physical amd competitive. It takes brains and guts to win the mens world cup thats why so few have won it amd is the oldest tournament in the world
Calm down buddy, you sound like every typical hater of the usa. We just stomped Canada and Mexico yet we’re a joke and always will be?
Berhalter was hired because his brother runs the Federation. That's it. He will continue to be protected from criticism and questioning of bad decisions.
Bingo.
His Brother now has a high position in MLS and will probably run it in a few years.
This sums up everything wrong with the US soccer federation. This is why we’ll never move forward.
Nah we will win 2026 and bring back the WC to LA (the city of America)
@@MbappeDaGoat get off your burner Berhalter
Our peak with Bethalter is Ro16 and thats probably what we will reach in 26’. We know what his coaching is like and what to expect already. Just shows USSF has absolutely no ambition.
they moved backwards because the USWNT got their wish of equal pay. So they aren't gonna even be allowed to hire any decent coach even if the coach wants to coach the team
@@MbappeDaGoatrelax lol
Only the US will make hiring a coach this difficult.
And why would the players have anything to do with it? That is ridiculous.
And still get it wrong
And then decide to rehire an incompetent idiot that will not give them any progress at all.
Most likely it will only go downhill from now.
On point analysis- the federation is shameful
Always love hearing Craig rant on the USSF. They ARE absolute muppets of the highest order.
WC 2020: Tied Wales (yes, Wales). Tied England. Beat Iran by 1 goal. Got humiliated - completely outclassed - by the Netherlands.
Yeah, bring Berhalter back. LOL
Not even outclassed. Outcoached. I promise a good coach would not have wasted the 2022 cycle in a match like that💢💢
When did “WC 2020” happen?
Held on for dear life against Iran. Went up 1-0 early and then parked the bus. Only win in his last 7 matches for the USMNT. GGG is the definition of mediocre coach. Guy was in over his head at the World Cup. US will be lucky to get out of the group stages next WC with this putz in charge.
Well holding , england down is kinda a win they are a good team
you say yes, wales as if they arent way more respected than the usmnt.
and world cup 2020? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As an American this is disappointing!! We should have moved on from him and gotten someone like Patrick Viera!! And Craig is certainly spot on with his analysis!! The USSF only know how to be idiots and be much worse than the World Cup!! I hope the amount of pressure by the media and fans get Berhalter to resign along with the other idiots who let him back!!
You’re spot on!👊🏽
Why take the risk? The team will improve this next cycle and looked pretty good at the WC
@@mattsmith1126 Why not take the risk, you're never going to improve being this content with mediocrity.
@@mattsmith1126
If you think the team will improve, then you clearly live in some sort of fantasy land.
How is viera better than the current coach please tell us. Gregg was really limited by having no in form striker at the World Cup we have one now
GGG also blackballed John Books, a champions league center back, from the team. Anyone who questions his authority is out.
John brooks is sorry mate
Miles Robinson and Richards holding it down. Brooks is too old we let the new lads take it from here.
Miazga, Hoppe, and others had issues with Gregg. They haven't panned out, sure... but still that's worrying. We could have had a fresh start, and instead they went with someone who already has divided the players.
@@josh0g Hoppe and Miazga didn't pan out but you could easily insert them into Greggs line ups. Miazga lacks the pace of Miles Robinson but he's much much better with his feet. He's every bit as good if not better than Zimmerman or Long.
He must have kept him from being played by a club team for a year too then.
That and ricardo pepi!!! A guy who helped US qualify and saved greggs job!!!!!! Why did he snub pepi and brooks two good players especially pepi who helped us qualify as i said and decided haji Wright lol was a better option what!!!???
This has to be the worst runned NT in the world, especially considering the money/resources they have.
there isnt even a close 2nd in teams run worse in the world.
It's a mess but Mexico is clearly worse,
Resources much lower than European teams
because the uswnt got their wish granted and got "equal pay", even if the best coaches in the world wanted to coach the usmnt, it couldn't happen. They can easily afford the best but they aren't allowed to pay for the best. Pretty sad
@@tainanking The USMNT and USWNT can both afford to pay for Good coaches. The program has money, it lacks common sense and experience from people and nations with more footballing experience.
USMNT could have went after Luis Enrique, Ancelotti, etc. but the hierarchy don't want to lose power that they would have to concede if they hired a big name.
I agree but ask yourself if you was a big manager who has the wins, the silverware what we need for the USA. Would u be able to coach your way how you set the lineup and who gets in or would you let the fans tell you what you should do, who you should bring and how it's supposed to lineup despite the young star player is indeed injured prone who rarely gets and lengthy playing time games, and the parents will scold you for either not putting him in the starting lineup or whatever to make him look good and not be in the Shadow of Pulisic
they were never getting Ancelotti, but why not push for Vieira, no one expects the US to win 2026, all they need at this stage is to make sure they get out of the group stages and maybe reach the semis, he wasnt terrible at Palace, captained the invincibles so you know he's no-nonsense. I would think there's something about being managed by an ex-player whose level no player in that dressing room has ever touched, he'll command respect and just might get them playing a little smarter against the big teams.
@@KingLeoGamer28 money talks. And besides, Don Carlo, Enrique or any big manager would never allow anyone to influence them. Could you imagine Claudio Reyna demanding Ancelotti to play his son more🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@antgil818 idk but would you
@@m.d.4231 100%. Worse part is they try to convince US fans Berhalter is this tactical mastermind, and we can't hire someone better when Vieira was interested. USSF just used his name to try to prevent the backlash they knew was coming when they rehired their buddy.
muppets indeed. bringing failhaulter is an embarrassment at best
@@therealone293 the cherry on top is granting the uswnt's wish of equal pay. Now even if any half decent coach wanted to coach them, they couldn't even afford it but instead hired a coach that no one else would. It's as if the federation was blackmailed into doing that as well lol
@@tainankinghe real world cup is the mens world cup. Th fact that yanks in the US federation would rather hype up womens wolrd cups that are overrated then actually go for the mens world cup that is the oldest and most prestigious cup and more competitive just shows what bubble US federation lives in most of the world and here in germany we dont care about US womens world cups lol we care about the mens. If you dont win with the mens team then you havent won anything important. Sad thing they hype up the women so much they believe megan rapinoe and US womens team could actually beat top elite mens team or are equal to brazil or us germans or french mens team lol laughable who here actually believes USWNT is as talent as top ten elite mens team?? I dont know anyone. The US federation needs to realize the men need to win it or you havent beat the real top dogs in the world!!!!!
@@tainanking A- uswnt should get MORE than usmnt since they're capable of bringing home meaningful silverware.
b- blaming women for your problems isn't a good look
@@logiclust I can blame anyone I want. But the facts are there. It costs more in the mens game to get better players and better coaches, am I wrong? so it makes sense that you won't get the same results if you paid both coaches "equal". You do not understand business. Don't turn it into a race or gender thing lol.
@@logiclust they bring home more silverware but they don't bring in more money. You are insane lol. IN what world does that kind of business make sense? Who invests more money into something that makes far less? lol
Craig is absolutely right on.
Craigs quote about “better players being left out of USMNT than Gio Reyna is the type of opinion ESPN fc gets laughed at for. Why do you think when they had their backs against the wall down 2-0 at HT vs NED would Greg IMMEDIATELY turn to Gio and say “I need you” no sh*t you clown meanwhile he’s subbing on Seattle sounders and Haji Wright is starting before Gio Reyna clocks 15 mins of action. The fact they hired someone who thought that was a good plan requires mental evaluation in itself
The MLS guys he picked were terrible.
I wouldn't be mad if they chose Marshe or any other top-level US manager. It is like breaking up with your boyfriend/girlfriend only to crawl back to them after months of looking for someone new.
Why does the manager need to be American ? There are no "Top level" us managers at the moment, at best they are good. The USMNT has talent but I struggle to believe they can actually win a world cup at the moment, so maybe the idea is to maximize the result.
It's not about Reyna, it's about playing the strongest 11 and playing people in their strongest position. Reyna is hands down our best 10, and letting him fill that role brings out the best in Pulisic and others around him. Gregg constantly played people in unnatural positions and asked them to do what they weren't good at, instead of exploiting his players' strengths like an actual good coach
You don't see or hear about this kind of stuff happening at any other international level around the world. It's embarassing.
The spain vs real madrid lopetegui saga was pretty disastrous
@@mitchaelhollingsworth1698 they fired him immediately and never looked back. No messing around.
@@ShooterMcAwesome yeah but right before a world cup. That is pretty disruptive. They rebounded with luis enrique which was a great move. But their 2018 world cup was a disappointment by their standards.
That's because they leave all the messy stuff in the locker room and don't parade it out in font of everyone.
A lot of us don't buy the USSF bs. We knew they would bring GGG back in a heartbeat and that's why this whole process wore us down. We couldn't get rid of this man. Our most important WC cycle ever with the most talented player pool ever and the USSF decided to go with a guy that hasn't once shown he has the ability to take the next step. the USSFe is just intent on keeping the status quo and they don't take the sport seriously. The players and the fans are the losers here. shameful.
Craig Burley has always been a real one 👏👏👏
A real dooosh bag.
I do have an issue with leaving Reyna out of the lineups. Sure other countries left out better players but those countries can afford to do that because of the player pool. Reyna has a huge talent gap between him and others who played, for example, Morris. We don't want a manager who wants to prove proof of concept. We want one who calls up our better players and builds around it and lets them play.
who is it that determines what player is better in what situation for what match? The coach!
Its your opinion that this player is the best but at the end of the day, the game is about getting the results and if they did then what are you complaining about!!!
The greatest day argentina can have is when they leave out messi, they still win! and if a team keep leaving out their best players and still win that is what you want and not the other way around.
@@bjvu9460 The coach is a glorified Pe Teacher. Absolutely got schooled by van gaal in the world cup 😂.
@@bjvu9460what are you actually talking about? You’re suggesting Jordan Morris is a better player than Gio Reyna and then saying Argentina should be happy to win without Messi… we need a drug check
but the US didn’t win against Wales or England. Then reyna who wasn’t good enough to start for the US in the World Cup scores goals like crazy in limited time in Germany. So they coach was likely wrong.
@@LuisA-fc3ox indeed and that isnt my only complaint. Berhalter does a lot of questionable things.
I remember when people pointed and laughed at US players and fans based on talent. Bit the USSF has literally just said: "Hold my beer." What an embarrassment.
Imagine having a press conference about a new hring in which you know youre going to have to address 2 controversies before talking about anything on the field. Getting to the on the field stuff, seems the Netherlands felt a huge strategic advantage against the US based on GGGGGG's inability to make adjustments.
Well, prepare for more disappointments, USMNT fans. 🙄
Reyna on the field is worth more than Berhalter in the coaches box.
yeah but they said no one is above the National team. I would say that in terms of Messi and CR but also Reyna is above this coach. You can't just sit out one of the best players. Just can't. Especially on this national team
Craig, unfortunately, this is where the U.S. is at the moment. Sounds like everything else going on in our culture today. What they said could just have easily come out of one of our politicians' mouths.
Look at all the comments on all the various videos. People are hardly worried about the domestic violence issue. They're fully dismayed that an incompetent nepotism hire / cancer has been reinstated after all the drama on top.
The Federation has placed it’s bet and gone all-in with this golden generation…on Gregg Berhalter. This has to be a joke to those in charge over there.
They didn’t take domestic violence that seriously when it was hope solo😂😂😂
Why they do want to rehire this guy, he is hardly the second coming of Alex Ferguson
He's not even Bruce Arena.
True clowns...its embarrassing
Our players talent has surpassed our coaching talent. Our best players play in Europe. We need a European coach with a new way of thinking. We have always been second rate and with this decision we will stay there. 🇺🇸 soccer is a joke right now.
"Hyper-bowl", omg Craig 🤣🤣
I saw a high octane offensive showout from the USMNT almost unlike anytime I've ever seen them and against the biggest rival Mexico... blew them off the field. And now it'll be back to same old same old.
Exactly, nothing shows GGG learned anything. Just look how he treated Gio, supposedly he told him he would have limited minutes but when needed him, who used him as a striker against Netherlands. He wanted Gio to save him.
@alkyr9946 hes a desperate simp who has no brains to learn the fans dont want him or even love him and doesnt learn to walk away instead he crawls back. A medicore player and terrible coach. Snubbing pepi amd brooks out of the world cup means he lets emotions get the best of him instead of playing better players.
I was baffled and embarrassed of this whole debacle
Couldn't be more disappointed. He clearly was over his head at the last world cup.
Was hoping for a nice run by the US at the 2026 World Cup, but we can forget that now.
As far as the domestic violence, that would have been a nice excuse to get rid of him.
Trust me and other Americans ….we didn’t want Berhalter back.
I, personally, was hoping for Patrick Viera.
Such a disgrace. The USMNT has gotten to where they got in-spite of this joke of a coach. Here is to another knock out in the the 2nd round of the world cup. Throwing away this generation with a joke.
watch him bench Pulisic too. Sure, Pulisic vouched for him to return but I got no idea why. He would get called up by any coach. This coach fumbled Reyna, so whose the next one?
No worries Craig, none of us are buying it.
Mr Burley... You are a legend... Thank you for your candor... Absolutely spot-on!
No player is bigger that a team/ country " pause" Messi and Argentina . That part got me 😅.
Forget about US soccer, Craig Burley just described so many of the problems with American culture in general be it with respect to government, politics, corporate culture, the healthcare system, you name it.
Nobody is baffled. A huge majority of US Soccer fans are digusted.
Thanks for hiring my f’ing high school PE coach for the World Cup
Hey Crocker, key skill in a head coach number one should be the ability to look at players like paul arriola and gio renya and know who to put on the field. Berhalter has proved time and again his not capable of that
The ORIGINAL hiring of Berhalter was a complete cluster, too.
Craig is right. this is insane. Nepo coach is not going to get us out of the group stage.
People need to stop watching and stop going no matter what
I guess we wanted mediocrity and drama 🤦🏻
Did anybody in the press conference actually ask them tough questions?
Craig representing the people.
I don’t think all people are smug and grouchy, mate. 😂
CORRECTION: Danielle Reyna did not get involved until after Gregg smeared her son at a speaking engagement where he was bragging about his leadership skills. He broke the players trust by doing that, so regardless of how outof line her response was... it's a big red flag concerning Gregg.
The part where the US director talked about ELO rating and the process they undertook to hire Berhalter again sounded completely ridiculous...and kind of embarrassing honestly. I think most fans are disappointed that Berhalter ended up coming back.
He was out coached in the Netherlands game. No adjustments. Gio was outside looking in. I am with Craig. Bs decision to keep this guy.
The only process the federation should’ve had was looking at the quality of play, I understand it’s a terrible Mexico team, but this team played better in these two games under Callahan than I’ve ever seen them play under berhalter. It’s a ridiculous hiring decision
F Bezerchalter ! The team has been better than ever without him ! Dean-American..
I have a new RESPECT for Craig!!!! Well said! Thank you for voicing what all of us fans are thinking. US SOCCER IS A JOKE! and so is BERHALTER!!!!!!
And the nepotism continues… everyone in the USSF is an absolute embarrassment.. go support your clubs again everyone and pray Berhalter is out before 2026
I can no longer support the USMNT anymore. No more donations. I know I'm just a smaller donor, but I also know I am not the only one. You have brought shame on abuse and abuse of power.
The biggest piece of this goes beyond anyone's opinion of Gregg. Who got rich off the Sportsology deal? US Soccer paid them how much to conduct a search, and we got the same person we already had? If it's not corrupt, then it's stupid.
Huge USMNT fan but Berhalter re-hiring is a joke. Definitely leaves a sour taste in every fans mouth. I don’t think anybody is happy he was rehired as the coach and will pounce very quickly if he is unsuccessful and look for him to be fired. I don’t think it would be a stretch for people to even hope that he doesn’t do well in COPA America just so that he is fired before the World Cup…
He has to win the thing in order to stay and breathe confidence into the fanbase
Craig speaking facts
It's all corporate rhetoric. "We are committed" - "We take these allegations very seriously." - "We canvassed the players." - "This was an exhaustive process."
Talk like people USSF. You sound like you're trying to appeal to donors and shareholders.
That’s the same thing I’ve been saying about the Mexico defeat. It means nothing if Mexico and it’s organization is a hot mess at the moment.
It wasn't accusations. It was the physical assault of a woman. Disgusting. Boycott USSF sponsors. What if it was your daughter, sister, or mother? Could you support that man who beat her?
Yeah i agree. But he shouldve been punished 30 years ago though
Seems like gio's mum just brought it up to spite him
Yeah, but his brother knew when he hired him in the first place. Nepotism overcame a disgusting act that should never be looked up to by little boys or girls as a role model. How is he supposed to tell players not to do this or that when he was near their age he was assaulting a woman and he still is allowed to make millions as a figure head for USSF.
Is this satire? This was a non-incident that was dragged to the forefront by a spiteful mother of a player that she felt was slighted. Why did she wait till that moment to bring it up? Gregg's wife lived it and still married him.
@@dexterwestin3747 Preach!!!
The issue was resolved decades prior. Do you really want the guy punished in perpetuity? To me that's what's wrong with the system when such measures are accepted as good practice.
As a Mexican fan this new hire for usmnt is a success for us. US soccer keeps shooting itself in the foot
But we still spanked u guys with berhaulter. He's the one who started this power transfer
@@ericayala7387 it’s true and they’ll probably keep doing it but at least nobody is reaching that quinto partido like this
Moral of the story for soccer in the US is equal playing time for everybody 🤣
"Muppets! Absolute Muppets, the lot of them!" - Craig Burley
Thank you for calling out our federation on live TV. Appreciate you! 🇺🇸
Craig opened up with,"this is bonkers", 😂😂😂. I I don't know why but that tickled the absolute s*** out of me
Craig is 100% right. They didn't want to make a decision and it's a complete joke
Those in charge lack ambition and they want a yes man.
That lighting in the presser is ominous
You should have showed the clip of Matt C saying they used statistics/analytics. And then when pressed on it, he indicated the ones they used were developed by Berhalter.
So why did they play completely different under BJ than under Berhalter? Berhalter ball was nowhere to be seen. It was literally the best Line Up the U.S. has had in a long time with the players that were available.
@@lennyjenkins9931 I think the question after Mexico is do we always need to play Adams as a defensive mid that gives very little going forward. If Adams were healthy we probably would have played the same as Gregg always does.
Well said Greg! Well said! Bunch of nonsense. The USMNT was doing fine without him and now we go back to square one wow 🤦🏽♂️
Its ridiculous. A true embarrassment. Did they canvass John Brooks?
Patrick Viera would of been a great choice
For once i whole heartedly agree w ESPN FC, except the bit about fans buying the nonsense...
What a s*** show. And who else did they interviewed for the job? Any names? No one, it was already set for the guy to come back.
Can we ask him why he played Jordan Morris and Jesus Ferreira over Gio and Pepi? 😊
Bershitter is an abysmal choice just as USSF is an abysmal federation! Corruption and incompetence of the highest level shown by this hire. GGG will continue to #1. Pick less talented MLS favorites over better players performing in Europe. #2. Continue with terrible roster selections and inane substitutions. #2. Employ his rigid tactics and formations that hamper offensive flow and creativity. #3. Show his inability to adapt to the opposing teams change in tactics and formations. #4. Won't utilize his BEST players talent by putting them in their best positions. #5. Doesn't get the most out of his players by hindering their ability to use their individual skills to their utmost through either his rigid system, poor tactics, bad formations, inability to access a player's talent level, continue to play his favorites or sheer incompetence.
What a joke. The USSF is a complete and utter embarrassment to American soccer.
They have been lying to us...
WE ARE A DISGRACE
Gio Reyna’s mother, Danielle Reyna has no business interfering in a Coach’s decision of playing time for her son…. This isn’t youth soccer… and her starting this whole mess with Berhalter.. by bringing up a domestic dispute between Berhalter and his wife from over 30 years ago speaks volumes of her character.. she needs to take a backseat and not interfere in coaching matters.
I need to hear a Burley reaction to this update 😂
First press conference, I thought USSF would introduce "Craig Baumgartner" as new coach. He'd have long hair and a mustache.
hahaha true
This is the biggest sabotage in sports! Maybe because Berhalter had a deep tie with the people at the top? Lol
Well said Craig Burley 🤝
"Oh yeah... you criticize my son who is perfect... well guess what I heard might have happened 30 years ago!". No reason he shouldn't have returned. So I guess Craig just has no idea what's going on.
