Berhalter ball is boring and doesn’t fit this team. They looked so much better in nations league under cj. How is it surprising anything the ussf does. Our federation is a joke.
As a fan that only wants the best, I REALLY hope that this works out. My fear is that we get the “system” again with too many crosses and not enough attacking ideas coupled with head scratching roster decisions. My hope is that Gregg learned from NL, and will just kinda get out of the way like Hudson and BJ did because I think this team needs that kind of freedom to play their best
Hey, Danny. I'm a big fan of your channel. (I'm not the real Steve Ralston, sorry). Just had a suggestion for a video. I haven't been able to find much info about it, but MLS used to have actual trades, not just sales, but don't really anymore. Maybe a history of MLS trades, or most lopsided, surprising, etc?
He doesnt 7:43 have to mend anything. Now you’re running into Mexican National team problems when our top players just wouldn’t play for mysterious reasons or straight up bust up
Two facts about Berhalter. 1. We should be able to attract a better coach. 2. Greg isn't nearly as bad as some people say. If some people want let either of those two facts keep them from enjoying our first golden generation too bad for them.
I, for one, love Berrhalter. Despite occasional "greggball", the statistics tell us he is the best USMNT coach of all time and should go down as a USMNT legend. 17 wins in 2022, took us from failing to qualify for the world cup to knockout rounds. Not to mention his solidification of the USA as kings of Concacaf, with the double in summer of 2021. Wish nothing but the best for this USMNT legend
Statistics can be misleading. I think Hudson and BJ proved that. Anybody who was coaching this group of players through that window would have at least those same stats if not better. He constantly underperformed with the quality he had to work with and slid by on the bare minimum. We didn't win a single away game during Qualifiers. We only barely qualified for the WC when we should have easily been able to finish 1st in the region. Even our WC performance, apart from the England draw, felt lackluster at best. Only props I could give 3G is winning Gold Cup with an MLS, C tier squad. Even then, all he did all tourny was park the bus against much weaker nations and grind out 1-0 wins.
I'll say this, I don't think he's the right fit for the team. But, he seems to have most of the players behind him. So unless he loses the locker room or starts losing a ton of games, I think he's safe for the current WC cycle.
Good video but I think you are way off on the effect a bad national team manager can have on a squad. Ask the 2010 French squad. Good national team managers know that you can not choose your ingredients you have to work with the ingredients you have. Greg doesn’t do that. Also you seemed to miss the idea that the US qualified to the WC on goal difference. That should be mentioned.
I'd have been a lot less displeased about Berhalter returning if USSF hadn't spent hundreds of thousands $$$ to put the thumb on the scale for him. Again. Just say you want him back. I could deal with that. Don't treat me like I'm stupid. Also, soccer fans being intense shouldn't scare USSF. Apathy should scare them.
I definitely agree Greg was ok. I’m not even mad he’s back. The people that are seem like the type that just love being angry online. They don’t know or have any really good or super convincing reason to back up their anger but it’s something they can be angry about so they hop on the bandwagon. It’s good that people are passionate at least.
@@okapi3202 yeah but we’ve been incredibly successful and y’all seem to forget that. I think we should’ve hired someone else too but we can’t act like Greg was a complete failure. He wasn’t. He was in many ways successful. Hell if he puts in the work and continues to grow he could make something great of this. That’s what people forget. They expect perfection on the first try but that’s just not the nature of being a person. They say his tactics don’t work as if he can’t ever implement a new one. I obviously don’t know whether or not he will change but he’s perfectly capable of becoming better than he was and y’all can’t grasp that.
I am not for or against Gregg Berhalter returning. I could care less. I don’t care how pretty it is, whether we beat everybody 5-0 or 1-0, as long as we get results… Gregg Berhalter should continue to be the coach. If we stop getting results? It’s time to move on. That’s all that really matters. Results.
I’m sorry but usmnt made it to the knockout round in the World Cup despite Gregg. And I hate his smug face. Good job usmnt brass. Made the same mistake twice.
If our squad members were crushing it regularly for their home clubs I could see that argument. That is not happening for nearly any player on our roster. So this just becomes an empty dismissal.
I like Berhalter, I don't understand why he has so many haters. In fact, I can't believe that so many people like Klinsmann and hate Berhalter. For me, Klinsmann was the worst USMNT head coach. He cut Donovan from the 2014 World Cup...that's unforgivable. Donovan should never have been cut from the 2024 World Cup. If Donovan hadn't been cut, WCQ failure would never have happened.
The problem with GGG rosters is that they lack depth. Now, I am not an MLS hater, but the inclusion of some (not all) MLS players is a detriment to this team. They simply are not the world class players we need to be able to compete on the world stage.
@@jettapa3427 So what. Few on teams that mattered. Canada and US made up over half of those. Nice try. You think that a league that is ranked 16th is going to compete with teams that pull from the top 5 leagues in the world? The speed of play is simply too slow. The roster in the Nations League semi and final was the best we ever had. This roster actually had depth.
I get the disappointment, given the speculation and what names were being thrown around, its an underwhelming hire, Berhalter doesnt feel like a step forward, but you could have done worse than Berhalter
I don't think the angle of, "Well look at all of our talent the coach won't matter that much!" That is logic I see too much in the NBA and MLB circles. You can't just talent your way to a championship you need a good coach with a good system and I don't think he is that.
Yep. We saw what happened when we were out talented against the Netherlands. You need good players and good coaching to even have a chance at winning the World Cup. We're ignoring half of it.
Well we’re not making out of the groupstage of the next world cup. I would say we wouldn’t qualify but we’re hosting. Berhalter is one of the most clueless managers in recent US National team history.
I don’t want US Soccer to fail. But I do want Gregg to fail as coach so we can move past his toxic existence for good. I just hope it happens before 2026.

You’re so right. I enjoy the USMNT as a team but the fanbase makes me really despise the culture and makes me care so much less about the team.

usually poor teams cross the ball in and hope for the best. US team has way too much quality to resort of crossing the ball.
Danny, could you please do a ranking of the new USL jersey’s of the season
I still think some of Berhalter's buddies from the old USMNT pulled strings behind the scene to help him get the job. Lalas is one of them.

I think the team should have made an upgrade after last WC, but everything you say is true. Some fans can't understand that both can be true.
Who's here after the panama game?
I'll say this, I don't think he's the right fit for the team. But, he seems to have most of the players behind him. So unless he loses the locker room or starts losing a ton of games, I think he's safe for the current WC cycle.
Greg did nothing wrong!

Honestly US national team managers havent been the best in the world. Gregg is just like the rest. Above average at best

To be fair on the World Cup the way berhalter ball worked we wouldn’t have made it out of Belgium or germanys group 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ we got a weak group
He compared Ferguson to GGG for a moment... yikes.
They really tried to justify it that greg made the national team better 🤦🏾

Wow a nuanced take on US Soccer? Didn't think this sort of thing was allowed on the internet. USMNT twitter has become too toxic to even look at.
Not once has this bum had this team playing better than the sum of its parts.
He could literally be replaced with and improved by an AI coach
“Leaked”
I don't think the angle of, "Well look at all of our talent the coach won't matter that much!" That is logic I see too much in the NBA and MLB circles. You can't just talent your way to a championship you need a good coach with a good system and I don't think he is that.

Bold of you to think we will get grouped that when the World Cup is still 3 years from now
