national media jokes getting paid millions to talk and hear themselfs talk. Thats about it. They don't do there work becuz they dont have to they have the money in the bank. Its a great hire.
Reason why USMT will never be successful is because the whole organization from top to bottom is filled with people like Lala who are full of them selves.
The quintessential yank "soccer" segment. The bloke literally worked in England doing press conferences less than 2 months ago and he says he doesnt speak English 😂😂😂😂😂
I also love them talking about how much pressure he's under, as though managing teams at the top end of the EPL isn't more pressure. 😂😂 Also, he's now extremely rich, still being paid by Chelsea, he's under little pressure imo.
@@mikeyuille9025He is a great player by US standards. Arguably the best they’ve ever produced and has played in three top leagues. By the rest of the world standards he’s decent, but isn’t going to win them games against stronger opposition on his own and the US just doesn’t have great strength in depth. If he’s injured who replaces him? The drop off is significant.
USMT are lucky to get him. One area that US are weak is the defensive side. He was considered for england job. US will be very attractive with their style of gegenpress style..
England vs Scotland, England vs Wales, England vs Germany. Italy vs France, Serbia vs Croatia, Germany vs Netherlands, Brazil vs Argentina, El Salviador vs Honduras. I would put above Mexico and the US. The US nation doesn’t care about football enough.
We do have more talented players on the USMNT than we did 20 years ago, but that doesn't mean we have the talent to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Spain, France, Argentina, etc. We still have to play pragmatically and show some grit. We can be more tactically complex, but we don't have "world class" players we have really good players that can play a supporting role on big name teams in Europe. None of our players that play in the top 5 leagues are the "star" of their team. You can still create a great team out of lesser parts, but it requires pragmatic, tactical coaching. It doesn't have to look pretty, just do whatever it takes to get a win.
Exactly. I’ve seen past USMNT with nobody in Europe play better than the team now. I think the USMNT federation thought they cracked the code by sending all these players to Europe but what they don’t realize is there’s way more to winning at the international level than just having a European line up.
I agree, the best hope the US has of progressing in 2026 is playing a more pragmatic style with the emphasis being on being tough to break down and hitting teams on the counter. Its a proven style in tournament football, especially for smaller nations that don’t have great quality in depth. He definitely won’t be playing out from the back with this team.
@@primer3458The first thing he needs to do is make the team a lot tougher to break down. If you concede early against better teams they’ll just pick you off as you’re chasing the game.
@@Wil-kn8woIt wasn’t t as talented, just a lot more physical. They understood their weaknesses and played to their strengths better which was basically having everyone behind the ball and playing counter attacking football. Its how this team should be playing and it should arguably be better at it with more quality up front.
He loves players that can run so he should fit great with this group plus he runs a 4-2-3-1 and he'll command respect from the players and get the most out of the usmnt
Lalas has never accomplished a damn thing internationally. He had a quirky name and interesting look in the mid-90s and we've been pretending he was important ever since.
Lalas is given a platform because he was part of the first modern USMNT generation. I would much rather listen to Landon Donovan or even Clint Dempsey who have accomplished more
As an Englishman I’m delighted that an American show listed the “notable players” who played for Poch and included Cole Palmer. The kid is doing it again this season with 3 assists at the weekend. He’s gonna be a star.
One problem with the people in charge of the USMNT, and those who cover it, is that they refuse to acknowledge just how far behind European countries they are in talent.
Copa should have been a wake up call as the wc will be even tougher to get through the group stages and theres an extra knockout round. If they get to the last 16 they’ll have done extremely well considering the team doesn’t have a lot of strength in depth. Who replaces Pulisic if he’s injured for example? The drop off is steep.
We don't need a coach that is going to inspire the country for the world cup or one that's going to change the soccer "culture" of america. We need one that's going to win, plain and simple. WIN and punch above your weight, and the rest will follow. The story is already written and needs no other details. Amongst american soccer fans most don't really care about the men's team, the world certainly doesn't care about the US men's team, and general american sports fans abhor soccer as a whole. The only thing to do is win. Win despite everything and everyone is against you. A great story arch that will only be propelled through winning.
I think that what the US national team lacks compared to countries with a rich football (soccer) history is that they don´t have an identity yet. You know how Germany, Spain, England, Brazil, Argentina, etc. play. They can even play with a different shirt and you would still know which team they are. It’s logical when you consider that the MLS is about 30 years old and the English and Argentine leagues are over 130 years old.
Coaching club soccer has to do with budget when choosing players but coaching International soccer is about choosing the correct players and if Pochettino can have free reign to choose his players and not have U.S. Soccer choose his players he will do well!!!!
I’d like to see the team utilize their speed more. Take some chances when the opposition is really agressive. Long passes with almost a dump and chase play in Hockey. Just make sure you’re on-side
The main problem with the US is not having great strength in depth. If Pulisic is injured for example who replaces him? The drop off is significant and the player pool not particularly deep.
Pooch speaks fluent English as far as I’m concerned and also speak Spanish he’s a good candidate is about damn time US Soccer Federation willing to spend big bucks on top tier coach
im from the UK, Poch is a bridesmaid never the bride, name 1 trophy he’s won outside PSG and the French League which is a one team league😂😂he’s a big name but honestly other options would’ve been better
Spurs had next to no money during his time there so that squad wasn't adequately freshened up, and they all got burnt out when they realised that they couldn't win as things were. Chelsea's ideal style of play was almost opposite to what Poch normally does so it's a miracle that he got 6th, League Cup final and FA Cup Semis with a squad who couldn't really play his way.
I think sometimes people like to say this team doesn’t have grit without any evidence. It sounds like it makes sense in explaining the team’s struggles but it just doesn’t match their actual performance.
Chilean follower here. If i can give the US "soccer" team some advice: you dont have to qualify for the world cup, so invest that time you're not playing north-american qualifiers on some hard friendly matches against south-american and european national teams. It doesn't matter if you dominate Concacaf, in the WC you will play against real teams.
South American teams are in the middle of qualifiers, European teams have Nations League and qualifiers eventually. Best thing for them would be to play away from the US against Canada and Panama until other teams are free for friendlies
The US is subpar in the center back category and that would be a problem to play feom thw back likw Poch likes to do bit, kind a Bielsa style, but besides that he have a good set of player going forward to achieve a first playoff knockout stage in the world cup
Not much Poch can do without talent, he may get them a round further than they usually go but that’s the first knockout round 😂, there’s not much hope when your best players are the likes of Pulisic, Adams and Mckennie…. Average at best players
Lalas is awesome. True American legend. If the current players had half his grit and determination and the skills they’ve learned today we’d be a serious contender
Huh?. Please provide even one name of anyone 'en-gorged' at hiring a non-American, non-MLS coach. And as for not speaking English? Again, huh? Has Lalas seen any of Pochettino's press conferences the past 4 years? Please.
How is he holding the game back? He’s just a pundit. I agree he talks rubbish a lot of the time and he wouldn’t get away with it anywhere else, but this is the US and I’m guessing his core audience just accepts most of what he says as fact.
Poch is very good at charming the media and getting a dressing room to bond together. He also had an attacking ethos that will suit the US team. Expect lots of players getting forward. Expect exciting, high scoring games. Expect to concede goals.
Poch likes to play a really direct, fast and energetic High Press. If the players really don't have that dog in them, they're going to find his whole philosophy torture.
Lalas misses again. This dude frequently has ignorant takes and he sets us back as a soccer culture. It’s impressive how wrong and loud he can be. What a quack
if you coached Tottenham, Chelsea, and south Hampton, i think he speak English.... Lalas ignorance of world football...but yes i think its not the right choice for US national team.
United States got stars and this new coach is gonna challenge them cause he's gonna be fair, if a player is not stepping up, he might pull another great player that plays from the MLS or from olympic to give home exactly what he needs.
Lala gives me a small town minded mentality vibe. Aren’t any other commentators with more of a world view vision around to share their opinions about USMNT football?
Colin: I only talk about topics people care about. Like NFL and CFB. Colin: Here's a segment on the 5th most popular sport in the US and MMA might take that spot.... Not hating just laughing.
I'm not sure Pulisic has improved. He just wasn't good enough for the Premier League, so moved to lower quality league in Serie A, where it is was easier play and look good.
This guy has 0 pressure on him. This is like belichick coaching a bad college team. He’s calling the shots…that’s why your paying him to coach your average team
The problem is they don't think they're "average," they've contracted the English delusion disease of massively overrating their players and having unrealistic expectations
I would hope, like other commenters are saying, that the new coach speaks English well. Not sure how it would work out if he didn't and he had little time to convey a lot of information.
Idk how Tyler Adams makes our core 4. He’s always injured and hasn’t progressed as a player in 3 years. Honestly Johnny Cardoso will probably take his spot. And if Wes can’t be more committed to his fitness he might out too. And lol regarding Tim Ream. He’s not making the 2024 World Cup. Our job in Poch’s first window is to find Chris Richard’s CB partner. Lalas continues with the lazy analysis that it’s getting embarrassing at this point
Lalas ‘core 4’: Pulisic, Weston, Adams, Weah The fans who know more than American analysts would all agree Gio, Flo/Pepi, Dest, and whoever the pivot is are way more important to develop
@@mixmasterbdt Id go as far to say that, there shouldn't be a core. These players have to earn their spot and differentiate themselves, these guys were Gregg's core and that was the biggest problem
This guy literally knows nothing Poch coached in England for 10 yrs hes English is pretty good. Also he does adapt the way pochs Tottenham team played was very different to his PSG side.
None of these players are anywhere near the level of Pulisic. The rest are overrated. The gk position, which has always been a huge asset for the NT, has never been worse. Turner and Horbath couldn’t lace Guzan’s, Howard’s, keller’s, etc, boots. Weston is hit or miss every other game and Tyler adams is rarely fit and when he is fit does absolutely nothing…ever.
@@chuch723 Wtf are you talking about.. He was one of the best if not the best player in Siere A and he literally the best player in CONCACAF games historically.
Pochettino is gonna get in there and notice very quickly what the rest of us know, that the usa dont know how to actually play football cuz theyre too busy playing afternoon saturday soccer, might know the theory but not good in practice 😂
Lalas, no one will ever be enough for you…. Wtf does speaking fluent English has to do with winning? This dude has been in England for 10+ years… you can’t get more English than that. 😂
USA will be lucky to advance out of group phase in 2026 I don't care who the coach is we are just not that good compared to other countries It's just a fact some of these players while good for Americans are 3rd or 4th options overseas
As long as soccer is not a top 3 sport in US we dont gonna have great results. USA is too big to pretend to play someone elses style. Sure we can get ingredients from other soccer cultures but until we don't developed our own culture and bring the best athletes to soccer we are going to be in the bottom of the top 20
It is hilarious how much they want to sell USMNT, Colin to put it in terms you can understand Argentina and Spain are like the Chiefs, the USMNT is like Colorado Buffalos not even close to go toe to toe. Obviously you didn't watch copa America and the Euro. You looked pathetic against Uruguay that is not even a top 10
Argentina está con ustedes USA ojalá mauricio le de ese aire de guerreros a su selección... Los Argentinos solo queremos ganar o ganar perder no está en los planes y si pierdes te levantas rápido y sales más loco! Para ganar! Canada también es muy bueña selección .... Tienen que hacer desaparecer deuna vez por todas a los Aztecas son mala gente tienen mucho complejo de inferioridad , resentimiento, envidia ... Y el deporte no es para gente con odio a los demás...el deporte es noble nos hace mejores personas y nos enseña a tener disciplina conducta y los niños merecen tener ídolos q los inspire .... Suerte USA suerte Canada es la hora de despertar !!! Se viene el mundial en casaaaaa❤

Pochettino speaks fluent English and Spanish, making him the perfect for the USMNT hire.
Perfect style too. USA is better off with a possesion style and fast style of play. Its perfect !
He is Argentinian so it would be odd if he didn’t speak Spanish.

Yea for real. What a goon.
This is why Lalas is a fool
@@Delboy0 I was howling when he said that 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not been able to take Lalas seriously since he said USA vs Mexico was the biggest international rivalry 😂
I mean I think it’s top 5 for sure that’s not that crazy. He’s not talking about level of play, just in terms of international rivalry between them
I could name up to 10 European one's before I'd even consider USA vs Mexico.
@@stevenburns2973 10 national team rivalries?? There’s no way. South America and Africa maybe but not Europe
England vs Scotland, England vs Wales, England vs Germany. Italy vs France, Serbia vs Croatia, Germany vs Netherlands, Brazil vs Argentina, El Salviador vs Honduras. I would put above Mexico and the US. The US nation doesn’t care about football enough.
@ammuflahi Poland vs Germany, Russia vs Ukraine, Turkey vs Greece to name a few others.
I can't believe that Alexi Llalas just said that Berhalter handled the Giovanni Reyna situation better than most🤦♂️

Pochettino is gonna get in there and notice very quickly what the rest of us know, that the usa dont know how to actually play football cuz theyre too busy playing afternoon saturday soccer, might know the theory but not good in practice 😂
i find it so funny that a lot of the comments regarding Pochettino’s ability to speak english are poorly written
Lalas, no one will ever be enough for you…. Wtf does speaking fluent English has to do with winning? This dude has been in England for 10+ years… you can’t get more English than that. 😂
little english...EPL begged the differ!
Lets go
Lalas is such a clown, get him off the air!!!!
National Team has made a quarters once. Time to take next step, & get to one of the semifinals matches
That is incorrect, the mes team has finished third in World Cup before
@@Sinklebarn ahhh. I wasn’t aware of that. Still, they seemed to have no hope recently of reaching semis; it’s time to work on changing our fortunes
He is bielsa school
Weston and Tyler are not up to the level send them to mls
What are these blues waffling about
sign me now. lets go i am rready to ball out
Ya era hora que traigan un técnico decente pa la selección..
USA will be lucky to advance out of group phase in 2026 I don't care who the coach is we are just not that good compared to other countries It's just a fact some of these players while good for Americans are 3rd or 4th options overseas
Lalas has lost all credibility
As long as soccer is not a top 3 sport in US we dont gonna have great results. USA is too big to pretend to play someone elses style. Sure we can get ingredients from other soccer cultures but until we don't developed our own culture and bring the best athletes to soccer we are going to be in the bottom of the top 20
It won't matter. The rest of the world is obsessed with football. Simple as that. The competition at international level is brutal.
It is hilarious how much they want to sell USMNT, Colin to put it in terms you can understand Argentina and Spain are like the Chiefs, the USMNT is like Colorado Buffalos not even close to go toe to toe. Obviously you didn't watch copa America and the Euro. You looked pathetic against Uruguay that is not even a top 10
Where Colin was WRONG WRONG.... lol toe to toe
Lalas is not a serious person.
Man soccer is here the fact a show like this is talkkng about this just
Shows how far the game has come
Argentina está con ustedes USA ojalá mauricio le de ese aire de guerreros a su selección... Los Argentinos solo queremos ganar o ganar perder no está en los planes y si pierdes te levantas rápido y sales más loco! Para ganar! Canada también es muy bueña selección .... Tienen que hacer desaparecer deuna vez por todas a los Aztecas son mala gente tienen mucho complejo de inferioridad , resentimiento, envidia ... Y el deporte no es para gente con odio a los demás...el deporte es noble nos hace mejores personas y nos enseña a tener disciplina conducta y los niños merecen tener ídolos q los inspire .... Suerte USA suerte Canada es la hora de despertar !!! Se viene el mundial en casaaaaa❤
Todd's Plan
0 pressure, Pochettino is here to teach the arcane arts to the natives.
Touche.
Pulisic is overrated. He’s a decent player. You boys elevate him too much
I love soccer, this guy makes me hate Soccer
