🥴🥴
Lost me when I saw 4 concacaf teams making the final 8. Unrealistic expectations
Especially Jamaica. No way they’re making it out of their group, in my opinion. Although, I love Andre Blake (as a Philadelphia Union fan 💪).
I got Canada beating Peru and Chile
Mexico can get out of the group though along with the USMNT. The problem though is afterwards if Mexico tops the group they can avoid playing Argentina and instead face a rival they have a chance at beating Peru. While USMNT will unfortunately play either Brazil or Colombia and chances are they are going out.
Canada cannot beat Chile. Maybe Peru because they are pretty awful at the moment. Peru and Bolivia are definitely not getting out of the group stage.
@dmolina27 Claudio Bravo is 40 years old. Canada is scoring on that grand pa 😂😂😂. Peru using the same exact players they used against Australia. The intelligence of those people is below zero 😂😂😂
Predicting USA in the final and Mexico in the semifinal is wild 😂
lol for real
It's delusional
Insanity 😂
It's a lot of wishful and naive thinking.
I mean he picked USA to win the group over Uruguay. That alone is laughable.
Bro USA is not beating Colombia. Get real.
Columbia hasn’t ever beat the USA in a tournament. Mestizos are notorious for choking when the stakes get high.
Uruguay 🇺🇾 has only a Population of 3 millions, half are women and 800k are retired people..... the kids are like 500k.
IN URUGUAY YOU ONLY HAVE 200K MEN who can maybe play Football (is not soccer) IS FOOTBALL.
USA Population 320 million and Mexico 150 million in Mexico and 40 millions in the US... COME ON GUYS!!!!!!
The fact that Alexi wants to give all the blame to the players for the loss against Colombia, but the US beating Brazil in Copa America is because of Gregg is crazy.
Don't worry, Alexi is living in fantasy land. With the USA's last showing its not a given they get out of the group, let alone beat Uruguay, Brasil and Colombia to reach the final. He might as well just gone all the way and picked the US for Copa America Champions...
'Does this mean Berhaltor is a bad coach, not necessarily.' hahahahaha, this podcast has become an SNL skit.
This US team does not respond to adversity. This team hosts Uzbekistan and Oman instead of traveling to Netherlands and France for the sheer challenge of it. This coach hosts 53 of 74 games inside the USA, mostly against tiny nations of less than 7 million. This team and this coach are weak and unserious. #soft
And none of those nations under 7 millions is Uruguay.
That’s why Klinsmann was the right coach at the wrong time
He’s the type of coach needed right now
Neither does any country in South America.
@@wgjung1 Uruguay is actually 3.4 million and has won 2 World Cups + 15 Copas. But for every Uruguay there are two or three Irans, Uzbekistans, etc. with large populations but weak footie.
Uruguay-Brazil-Argentina-Colombia are in the semi-finals
Three of them will, since 2 of them will clash in the quarterfinals
It’s fixed so Argentina has an Uber ride to the final. Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia have to battle it out to play them
@@dario5261 yes
@@dario5261you’re delusional
@@dario5261it’s fixed??? Sounds like Messi haters are preparing themselves for another blatant lie. If Argentina wins this Copa America, the CR7 fanboys will come out in droves to cry ROBBERY ROBBERY ROBBERY
In what world does the USA beat Brazil and Colombia
USA played Brazil off the field in a confederations cup final. Brazil’s bribed refs literally had to steal the game for Brazil.
@@dannytallmage2971Brazil needing to bribe somebody to beat US is wild. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DizzyMakavelli and yet it happened. Kind of like how africa hadn’t discovered the wheel or a written alphabet before Europeans showed up. And yet it’s true.
@@dannytallmage2971 Delusional ahh American
@@dannytallmage2971so this world is 2005 and 2009?
Alexi’s Copa prediction is a text book example of Rage Bait 😂
Uruguay noma! Mosse you are welcome to come to celebrate the 16 in Uruguay
I only hope my Team, colombia meets USA in quaters so we can settle an account opened since 1994. Great podcast Alex!
Repect! Love to see the US evolve, but respect is due. Especially after the tragedy that followed.
It’s okay , we already settled that account in 2016 at the Copa America Centenario. We beat USA at the opening match and then again for the third place spot. The opening match was at the same stadium of the 1994 game and the first goal was made by Cristian Zapata who wore number 2 , just like Andres Escobar did.
@@juanlee3252 true but USA in 1994 beat Colombia when it was mentioned as a potential favorite and had a record streak of 27 games without losing a game so the similarities are what make this potential game so interesting at least from my perspective
@@Arakyrie oh so true, I didn’t see it that way. You’re definitely right , there is a debt to pay coming up👍
@@ArakyrieThat 27 game record was broken by Bolivia, not USMNT.
USA to win the group over Uruguay 😂
USA to the final 😂
Mexico to the semifinal 😂
Yeah.....no
In Alexi head, he's like man I had to miss a USA game for my daughters graduation!?
Well lucky for him he had to miss the second half lol
Just found this pod. I've very much enjoyed the two episodes I've listened to! It's exactly what I've been looking for ahead of Copa America. Cheers boys!
Alexis, respect what you say about fans, I was born in Colombia raised in America, I love America, when US plays against any other team I am rooting for US all the way, against Colombia, always Colombia, plus, in Colombia soccer is #1 in America not sure maybe 5th or 6th sport.
22:30 These people never forget to mention how Gregg's brother is an influence. And how shady both hirings have been. Regardless of Crocker's efficacy in his spot.
Alexi knows that his picks were made with his heart not with his head!
Bet on the total opposite of Lalas' predictions and Elon Musk's wealth will be nothing compared to yours
I'm pretty sure that Lalas is actually trying to be funny with his predictions. There is no way he can really believe what he says! Maybe USA ends up second in his group but I doubt any other concacaf team will go on after the group stage.
Whattttt, i can’t stop commenting… this guy is insane
champions colombia 🇨🇴
These predictions aged like warm milk on a Texas porch in the summer.
come on Alexi those predictions are unreal
Money isn't an issue in the USSF? What a naiive statement
came on dude, nobody belives usa in final,
I thought I would never hear a worse take than Alexis’s predictions, but the first caller gave him a run for his money. Two former coaches, both of whom were fired, to replace the current coach, lmaoooo
I can’t tell if Alexi is trolling or wishful thinking lol
They got sloppy in the end and conceded so easily. You have to also accept that Colombia is currently undergoing a significant leap in quality. This is a team that beat Spain recently and is currently on an undefeated streak.
We need Alexi as next @USMNT manager!!!!
Whatever these two guys have been smoking, they could make more money with that than commenting on football.
They said some of the favorites in Europe have lost friendlies recently. They didn't mention Spain have 10 goals in 2 games. Come on bro.
Suburbian soccer will never compete. pay for play system isnt' working for North America
It's pay to play pretty much everywhere
@@juanescobedo1120 other places people do pay fair amount of money but in Usa it is nosebleeding
Check out Zlatan's comments about his kids playing youth soccer in USA
What’s your plan to fix? I actually agree. My son is going through ranks right now as a 10 year old in Pennsylvania
@@juanescobedo1120 I was born here in USA but parents from Argentina . I know the struggles DiMaria dad went thru to help him pay for the academies. Flip that to here in the states where my dad couldn’t afford and travel 90min every day one way to drive me to practice to the suburbs the ODP program was in, no chance for me to be even seen by colleges this was back in the early 90’s. My dad was a truck driver and had another truck he rented out, he did well for himself. I know live in the suburbs myself and if my son has the same passion as I did, I’m grateful to have the financial means to put him in camps and such. But how about the South American kid in nyc who loves the game and doesn’t watch any other sport but futbol, his parents can’t afford to put him thru the system though. NOW it’s gotten a little better with social media but it’s still so far behind .
who put this guy in charge of a podcast about a sport he wasn’t even good at???
Most likely the team won't do good or bad in copa America. They will problem get out of the groups and lose to Colombia or Brazil in closer game than the friendlies. They will do well enough for GGG not to be fired but not well enough for anyone to feel confident about this team.
Alexi: What makes Wilfred Nancy a better manager than Gregg Berhalter?
Well unlike Gregg, he has won a tournament at the club level…
If you follow Conmebol closely you will notice that this Brazil team “can bleed” they are mid table in WC qualification, with that said it is still Brazil
In my lifetime brazil has achieved less than Belgium. What do you mean it’s still Brazil. Thats like saying it’s still Poland.
come on Alexi, be serious.
22:06 It is not that some people think that Berhalter is not the coach for the job no matter what happens, but it is that, when you dig deep into his tenure, he does not have a really good result and a string of very poor performances, last of which appear to become even more frequent recently. Many people say that tying England at the World Cup is a very good result. They just lost to Iceland at home just before the Euros, and they have been very inconsistent and have had a number of poor performances under Gareth Southgate. It is frustrating to someone like me to see that some people don't see this.
With viewership and attendance having a history of being low it’s probably not the best marketing strategy to change the USA crest to pride colors. I have no problem with it, however I would bet a significant portion of the population does.
Honestly and sadly it’s a fair assessment
@@MaximusTheChosenOne no its not. lol Try suppressing your bigotry and you might find yourself to be a good person. but maybe not.
@@wizarddragon lol bro what in the complete opposite of a bigot…
What I am alluding to is what OP said, which in theory isn’t far off. Which is why I even said it was sad. What are you talking about? Learn to read.
Golden generation😂😂😂
The usmnt can compete with ANY TEAM but not playing the way Gregg has been forcing them to for the last 5 years.
So true Lalas. Some people forget who gives them shelter. As once some said. Don't spit the hand that feeds you. Have some respect.....
mute video everytime Alexis has a podcast and just go to the comments and laugh at all the comments at his expense
OMG...THAT COACH OF YOUR IS NOT THE ONE. YOU KNEW IT SO DONT ACT SURPRISED.
Aside from Pulisic and Robinson, rest of the team played like bums…especially Gio Reyna. This late on the timeline, the usmnt must switch exclusively to playing as a counter attacking team. Because they lack the talent and pedigree to go toe to toe with the elite teams of the world. They need to hire an elite Italian coach like Antonio Conte. Italians are the masters of counter attacking football.
Put a dabble of yak in that coffee with those predictions
42:00 Is Alexi idiotic?
Some of the commentary from Lalas here is not aging really well. The USMNT is now in a dire situation, wondering if we will even get out of Group stage. Yikes!
Lalas is soccer’s biggest troll
26:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts tho
Can you please give the microphone to someone who has a clue?
USSF doesn't have the money for that. Bruce Arena would be the most logical money wise.
I find it very hard to place all the blame on the players and it's a little unfair. It's like you criticize the players for not overcoming the underlying problem. Its like blaming a QB for getting sacked when there wasn't anyone blocking for him. Every good coach knows how to beat Gregg's system and he forces the players to play predictable. I find it very frustrating when people who know the sport either don't see the obvious or they refuse to recognize it.
You have absolutely lost your mind dude 🤣
Like Mexico, the US needs to leave Concacaf and join Conmebol to play club and NT games.
Concacaf is holding the US back.
48:30 Also, Lalas’ Copa America picks are a great joke.
Well , if things are the way are now , semifinals are argentina , brazil , colombia , and uruguay . I cannt predict the winner. Football alexis not soccer isnt #1 sport for Americans some logic analisis .
The USMNT should snag Marcelo Gallardo to coach this team. He’s out of a team currently
Like Mexico, the US needs to leave Concacaf and join Conmebol to play club and NT games.
Concacaf is holding the US back
First time I agree with Alexis, everybody’s been arguing and blaming Gregg but this has a lot to do with the players want/need to be great.
We have to accept that the players just are not great. There's never any significant improvement. It's just the same old same old stuff.
Lol... worst predictions ever.....must be drunk
Homers!!!
I prefer to support USA FOOTBALL national team over my country of origin.
Btw why is Wilfried Nancy a better coach than Gregg? UH.... MAYBE BC HE WON MLS???? MAYBE BC THIS IS THE BEST THE CREW HAVE EVER LOOKED????
Team USA wasn't on the field alexi, it was Pride FC. When the US federation wants to reprioritize their agenda and insult the country and that shield in the process there is zero reason to support that team. Stop guilting people in supporting this team for the sake of the country when they are disrespecting the country themselves. They clearly didn't learn from the women's world cup, where the arrogant players didn't respect the country that was on their shirt, now this federation wants to impose the same things to the men's team, which I'm sure do not want to push to the extent they are doing. I hope the u.s. loses this tournament the same way the women lost their wc. Mic drop!
Argentina vs Colombia in final with Colombia winning the cup.
THIS 👆
😂 = 🤡
Your more critical of Gregg than ever before is meaningless because he's your bf
I can't watch this channel for soccer takes!
US A team will not beat Brazil.
Winning a world cup..lol youre not even close to win copa america..you think you can beat south america in copa america, then europe and south america to win the world cup? Talking about dellusions
If the US plays with those stupid rainbow colors, I'm going to root for their opponents.
People like Alexi Lalas shouldn’t speak on the sport
People like you shouldn’t speak on anything not related to leaf blowers. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So are you implying that every Colombian in that stadium was in the us working or illegally working? What about the people that came on vacations or are expats professionally working and are actually giving their part and not only taking from the country? What a way to loose subscribers
@@manoloaiza I’m talking about his Copa picks
@@Durag2007 I know, I wast talking about the stupid comments from the video owner, or basically Alexis, it´s a stupid comment that one...he doesnt know what´s competitions and how fans follow soccer in the stadiums and arenas in LAT
Embarrassing it's rlyhe Clown show decorations and they colorful uniforms looking like happy man😅 they were the joke in Colombia
I can see Colombia winning group D. We all know soccer can be unpredictable at times and they’re on a run right now. I believe the 🇺🇸 will finish 2nd and play Colombia the first round of knockouts. (So Berhalter and the players better go to bed watching film from Saturday’s game). Needs to be 1000% better on both sides of the ball, tomorrow vs Brazil.
Many Colombians proud to live in the US but root for their home team. What a goofy take.
Sounds like insurrectionists to me. The literal definition.
So if you took a job in Korea and lived there for 10 years you’d start rooting for Korea over USA? 🤡
3rd generations of italians do the same
I have USA or Peru winning the cup of AMERICAAA!!!!

Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 🏴🇺🇸
Regardless of who wins this silly tournament there will be at least six or seven European teams better than the winner.
Shows your lack of knowledge and/or ignorance of the quality of footballers found in South America. Name 7 European teams BETTER than Argentina at this moment…that’s right NONE they are the world champions. Have some respect for the sport or don’t bother to watch it.
@@petergalvez3930 look how mad this yard man is. With the referees cheating as hard as they could Argentina could only beat Poland and Croatia during the course of play two 3rd rate European teams. Bunkering to win on penalties like a Concacaaf team. Lmao only two COMEBOL teams even made the knock out rounds. Less than AFC. 🤣 😆 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seems that you don´t know anything about football.. "silly tournament" smh, just take your loss and go on child
I saw your stupid comments in at least 4 videos about Copa America. It's called eutrocentrism right? lol
Get real. Right now all Europe have is France and Spain to a degree, everyone else is underperforming.
Come on Alexis. Get off Greg's nuts. He is to blame. Get a clue.
Alexis is still dreaming that his podcast will land him his coveted USMNT coach job which is why he continues to praise Beerholder
Keep starting the same players, look how well it works. The starting 11 only look good when they play with Great players in Europe.
Players ain't the problem. Horrible coach
