Why are you guys not covering how the technical director of US Soccer does not live in the United States and has been attending the Euros and not Copa America? That is insane. No one has looked into this.
He’s a club manager with zero experience of managing at international level. You need someone who’s managed at international level and ideally tournament football as you only have two years to prepare. Klopp might be a good long term option, but you need someone who could make a difference in the short term. Plus, he’d cost you an absolute fortune and you’d have to pay the women’s coach exactly the same and I don’t see that happening.
I find it odd that Diego Luna is being called selfish and having his feelings hurt and then the implication is that he may not get called up in the future, regardless of his performance at club because.... the national team program had their feelings hurt? The Olympic roster shouldn't be so small with a few alternates that need to be on sight "hoping" one of their teammates gets hurt so bad that they have to leave the tournament. That's just a ridiculous system.
I’d rather see younger potential talent that have the skills and potential growth to push for roster spots in the future. Luna will be 21 in two months! 😮. He is NOT senior team talent and unless some serious progression happens I don’t see him ever putting on a USMNT jersey. He’s an adult playing against youth players and he’s been that for like two years!
This is why USSF is corrupted. It's not about bringing the best talent in. It's about who they can control. Interesting as I've seen some interviews of former players where they speak to this.
We need a coach that not only has a vision for the team, but will enroll the players in it. And go after it this vision tooth and nail. Maybe go across sports and look for this coach, because anyone with a strong vision and capable of enrolling players in this vision can coach any sport, especially soccer. Soccer is a very easy sport to learn.
Diego Luna deserved to be one of the first names that was penciled in. I don’t blame him at all. He is one of the only ones that is a creative midfielders in the pool youth or senior level.
He’s NoT a senior level caliber player and never will be. Creative….against who? 17 year old B players that also won’t make it to their senior roster anytime soon? Because that’s who he’s been playing against, and he’s already 20 years old! TWENTY!!! A few Months younger than Reyna, Musah and Pepi !!!!
Would Klopp be great? Absolutely. Unlikely no matter what is offered, but USSF/USMNT should pull out all the stops to try. That said, there are American coaches to look at. Top of my list is Pellegrino Matarazzo, who has coached club youth and first team sides to good effect in Germany. He's no BS, doesn't play favorites, tactically sound, and knows how to build belief and identity in a side in a relatively short time.
Whatever you pay the mens coach you have to pay the womens which is crazy in itself, but thats what you guys have agreed to and basically means you’re not getting anyone of Klopps calibre. There are still plenty of other good coaches out there who would be a huge improvement on what you currently have. You just have to be realistic and ideally go for someone thats good at getting the best out of what he has and that probably means playing a more pragmatic style which won’t be great to watch, but might get you better results in tournament football which is very different to club football.
Keller says,” The best manager that fits the parameters they have.” The parameters are that they must be Jay Berhalter brother, kick women and has no hair.
Luna is an excellent player, the US Olympic team needs him. I watched them play against Japan without Luna and their attack looked disjointed and unskilled
Meh. He’s 20! Will be 21 in Sept. he’s the same age as Reyna, Musah and Pepi. He’s Been playing against kids 2 or 3 years younger than him and those kids in youth teams needing to progress and probably aren’t even senior team caliber for their county’s…ever . Literally an adult still playing in youth development..
He’s accomplished nothing. Wow…our bar is so low. I suppose anyone is better than Greg…but wow, he would be a disappointment for 90% of national teams in the world. We should expect better.
They will not only lose potential fans….but the fans like me who have been watching fanatically since 1990 or longer will stop supporting! . When there are no ratings, no audience to listen to your drivel , and no one in the seats for games and the networks will stop showing games because advertisers see no incentive …..maybe they’ll care! Seriously, it’s heading that way quick. And I speak for a lot of people when I say “I’m done” if Greg continues to coach this team! Good luck with that. Keller and everyone else “covering” US soccer and “analysts” for these networks (Fox, ESPN etc etc ) will soon be out of a job too! And they’ll look back and think…”I should have done something! 😮😂😅. You won’t miss ya!!!
Casey hitting the nail on the head. The women's team got complacent and entitled, and it showed on the pitch getting outplayed by teams they should have been destroying. Manager is not there to be friends with players, their job is to make the players understand they have to be their best at all times.

You can't manage Champions League players with weak MLS coaches. This is why we have a habit of petulant red cards. The coach must be bigger than the players and nobody coaching in MLS fits that description. #NotRocketScience
Champions League players?? Who the fuck are you referring to? This is once again one of the dumbest discussions I’ve ever heard our players are not good our plus athletes do not play soccer.
tbh i think that there is too much weight on the "honor" of being named an alternate, sure it's necessary but i don't think that it is that deep of a character thing towards luna.
The US doesn’t have the history or pedigree to only have US coaches. There isn’t the strength in depth as there simply aren’t enough with the knowledge and experience of playing tournament football. If you want to maximise and get the best out of these players you really need an experienced foreign coach. Ideally someone who’s managed at that level with an under performing team.
Yes, they need to be international. Someone with experience and can instill discipline and structure, along with a European mindset. Pochettino, Zidane, Henry, Xavi, Terzic, or perhaps even Klopp if he would come out of his rest period earlier. Also, enough with this horseshit that they can't afford a top tier level coach. They can. If the US can't afford a top tier level coach, then how the hell can some of these smaller countries??
It's not all about just the name, it should be about the playing style too. Pochettino, Zidane, and Terzic would be good because of Their free flowing style.
It all depends, do you want win. The best coach is the best coach. If he has to be American, you are limiting yourself unnecessarily. It’s like saying a team from New York has to have a coach from New York.
It’s about time focus starts getting placed on the complacency of the current players. The current players are too spoiled and comfortable and have no consequences to what they do or fail to do. Unless that changes they will not get out of their group in 2026.
Kasey, so you are implying that an international coach won't have a 5 or 10 year plan for the team? Of course you find the BEST possible coach, with a proven record at the top level to give you the best chance to win. That's all that matters! No American coach has ever proven themselves at the top level in the top leagues in the world. Sure, Bob and Bruce had some success, but they also had major failures right after. We need a decorated manager for the best pool of players we have ever had, and with the World Cup coming to our country, period!
No, his point is that you sign a mercenary to a contract running through the 2026 WC. Let's call that mercenary "Klopp" for short. The expectation is that Klopp spends 18 months focusing on one tournament and then you reset after that world cup and begin making new plans for the team. Klopp is not expected to "rebuild US soccer", he is expected to stop us from having a catastrophic result like we just had in Copa America.
The players are comfortable. Our young phenom not working at a World Cup, no real consequence. Our right back booting balls off the field and throwing fits. Nothing. Our wind striking someone in the head off the ball. Nada. You have to question man management when you have these silly issues, particularly when the team isn’t living up to reasonable expectations. The fact that these players are acting out, failing on the field, and supporting their manager is a concern.
Yeah, that's a problem. Their friends first, pros second. It's fine to like and pal around with the coach, but not at the expense of the team and results.
We saw it initially when Brooks was yelling at players to step up and was questioning Gregg’s tactics.. he got blacklisted from the team cuz those aren’t “good” vibes.
Since when it is up to players for who should be coach….in any sport, at any level????. It’s like asking the HS algebra class if they should get rid of the pushover teacher who passes everyone and gives cupcakes every Friday morning and doesn’t grade homework! Of course they love her! 😮😂😅.
@@RickyRicardo84Brooks LMAO. Please. That dude fuckin sucks. Brooks was partly responsible for the failed 2018 qualifying campaign. Enough of that loser.
Whats wrong with Edin Terzic? He just led Borussia Dortmund to UCL 23/24 final. He won't cost as much, and I'm sure he speaks English. Most Germans do. And his teams know different styles of play.
The next usmnt has to be an international coach. If US soccer wants to compete with the world teams we need to play like the world best teams! Not an American coach is needed.
There are multiple coaches with winning pedigree available right now. They do not need to be American thats a dumb requirement. Get someone who can get the job done in 18 months its not hard. But they have to be serious about a search this time not that half ass crap last time
It would only add to the total disaster that is the USA soccer program. A simple change of coach is not the answer. Sadly, it is true the USA has never produced any player who would quality as World Class by any reasonable measuring stick. There have been a heartbreakingly few individuals who have managed to reach the level of "competent professionals", but this is not nearly good enough to allow us to compete successfully at the World Level. And there is unlikely to be no coach of any real reputation who would sully that reputation by taking on this impossible situation. We have to start over at the USSF level. Get rid of the "power seekers" and politicians, and build a ruthless results driven program all the way down to the entry level of the sport. Start there. Work for decades. Prune the dead wood at all levels, and get serious about things the way the rest of the world does it.
Not American! Foreign! Think about the results Klinsman got! Regardless, how it ended, he got results! Also, he wasn’t playing! He left Landon of the squad in 2014….. that’s insane
Are they talking about T.Henry he won the World Cup. He is a foreign coach! Learned at clairfontaine his resume is impressive and the most important for the USSF he is CHEAP!
Too late now. Hope Canada keeps Marsch until the WC at least. Canada has over performed so far in the Copa. If you can put up a fight against Argentina that would be impressive too.
They are off base with the Luna conversation… none of them were anything close to a game changer like him in their prime. All the issues have to do with the coach, being offered to join as an alternate is a slap in the face when he has elevated each national team he has been apart of till now. We wouldn’t force any other player like that in any other sport to be a roster alternate; it doesn’t happen with our basketball team, our track and field team, our gymnastics teams; so why should a guy that has never had an issue getting on the field for America before now, and being the best creative player no less, have to beg for a spot and sit with being an alternate? I don’t see it as selfish, I see it as knowing he won’t get on the field as an alternate, especially cause that team will not go far without him anyways, they struggled and have struggled without him. USSF is in deep trouble with how their coaches work, and how the system works, because the reality is that it does not if they refuse to find the best coaches for the best crop of players that we have had.
I love how Herc pointed out it does not matter where the coach is from just because the likes of Mexico are purely obsessed with hiring a Mexican coach. Especialy now that most USA players are based in Europe so a European coach would not need to focus on the MLS because that is not where the roster plays in. The reASON Mexico needs a Mexican coach is because all those bums mostly play in Mexico so it makes total sense but for the USA they need someone different. These players play in Europe and different leagues so they can adapt to a new playing style
Golden generation and still hasn’t done shit tho 🤣🤣🤣😭 how sum mostly mls guys from 2000-10 had the best years and not these guys wonder maybe individual talents better but the team isn’t better 😂
For the record, Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley did nothing for US Soccer. They actually raised the embarrassment and joke level of US soccer. The Reyna saga highlights what a joke those involved are. Now Gio is the next Michael Bradley, useless like his father.r
Ramos- I don’t know. I can say this - he was the first American player who commanded respect internationally. Having said that he also said he thought the Gio was going to be the next Zidane. That really blew my mind. Growing up in upper middle class NJ is no preparation for a genius who grew up on the rough streets of Marseille . Gio has no get stuck in gravitas. It is quite simple to see why he can’t breakthrough at the club level. He is just not tough enough…..
Emma Hayes will bring in the British taskmistress mentality or the Nurse Ratchet thought process for the women. No. The next USMNT coach does not need to be American. They need to demand attention and respect. Players, because they are human too, need to be on point with that. Otherwise, they should lose their spot to the person who wants it more. Alexi Lalas has said it before and it sounds like you guys agree, that a coach really should not extend beyond 1 cycle.
Would it be, if they wanted an American again, and someone who won a World Cup, hire the coach who took the women to the last World Cup? Even if it is a woman?
Usa team shpuld hired EL PUOJO HERRERA. Mexican natoonal team x coach. He loves Lime light. And work cheap. And plenty of Restaurants to rat in USA. OR HIRED TATA martinez Messi current coach. He lovez the spotlight. Both would be way cheaper than european coach. Znd still get same result.
I am Mexican, I mean You Need in the next procesos at the Best Coach of USA because if you rise you level all CONCACAF teams Too and ist importante because the next World Cup will be in HOME
I will give you the same recommendation I am giving to all the talking Pundits/heads show: GET THE MLS OWNERS TO PONY UP $100,000 per franchise to pay for a top quality manager and bypass the sponsors and the Federations financial restrictions. THIS IS SUCH A SIMPLE SOLUTION I CANNOT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS COME UP WITH IT! If 2026 is a failure they, as owners, are permanently fixed as the 5th biggest league fighting the WNBA for a peanuts TV contact for the foreseeable future if not forever! I am disappointed in your approach to to this whole GB fiasco. Been following religiously since 1989 watching the T&T miracle with my 2 Italian & Argentinian roommates . I will be dead before the USA hosts another WC. 2026 is it. USE YOUR PLATFORMS TO STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE ACTUAL IDEAS!!!
All the talk about equality with the women's team... they can go out and get the best coach, so why shouldn't the men be able to go out and get the best coach? Pay is NOT an issue.

The players are comfortable. Our young phenom not working at a World Cup, no real consequence. Our right back booting balls off the field and throwing fits. Nothing. Our wind striking someone in the head off the ball. Nada. You have to question man management when you have these silly issues, particularly when the team isn’t living up to reasonable expectations. The fact that these players are acting out, failing on the field, and supporting their manager is a concern.
Describing quarter finals as great success is a joke…
Marcelo Gallardo would be a good choice on the cheap
Some players are ROOTING for Greg to stay they are comfortable af
Yeah, that's a problem. Their friends first, pros second. It's fine to like and pal around with the coach, but not at the expense of the team and results.
@@roshi98 facts! 💯
We saw it initially when Brooks was yelling at players to step up and was questioning Gregg’s tactics.. he got blacklisted from the team cuz those aren’t “good” vibes.
Since when it is up to players for who should be coach….in any sport, at any level????. It’s like asking the HS algebra class if they should get rid of the pushover teacher who passes everyone and gives cupcakes every Friday morning and doesn’t grade homework! Of course they love her! 😮😂😅.
@@RickyRicardo84Brooks LMAO. Please. That dude fuckin sucks. Brooks was partly responsible for the failed 2018 qualifying campaign. Enough of that loser.
Ted Lasso is what you need. Great soccer game y’all.
At this point, I might support Jason Sudeikus over ggg
Klinsman took them out of the group of death he also wrote a letter to get out of work to watch the world cup😅
An American player being selfish?!?!? Isn’t that their go to position. Sounds like he fits in perfectly with the current national team squad
Whats wrong with Edin Terzic? He just led Borussia Dortmund to UCL 23/24 final. He won't cost as much, and I'm sure he speaks English. Most Germans do. And his teams know different styles of play.
Jurgen Klopp! Please!
We just need a fresh start and a coach that will grind out a result with these players. Exactly what Kasey said.
A lot of federations play younger talent, I don’t blame him
The next usmnt has to be an international coach. If US soccer wants to compete with the world teams we need to play like the world best teams! Not an American coach is needed.
God no! Our next coach needs to be German and goes by the name Jurgen Klopp!
There are multiple coaches with winning pedigree available right now. They do not need to be American thats a dumb requirement. Get someone who can get the job done in 18 months its not hard. But they have to be serious about a search this time not that half ass crap last time
Klopp or Tuchel
Absolutely not. How is this even still a question?
Klopp not happening ppl. He is determined to take the year off and the only national team job he will make an exception for is Germany.
It would only add to the total disaster that is the USA soccer program. A simple change of coach is not the answer. Sadly, it is true the USA has never produced any player who would quality as World Class by any reasonable measuring stick. There have been a heartbreakingly few individuals who have managed to reach the level of "competent professionals", but this is not nearly good enough to allow us to compete successfully at the World Level. And there is unlikely to be no coach of any real reputation who would sully that reputation by taking on this impossible situation. We have to start over at the USSF level. Get rid of the "power seekers" and politicians, and build a ruthless results driven program all the way down to the entry level of the sport. Start there. Work for decades. Prune the dead wood at all levels, and get serious about things the way the rest of the world does it.
I would always take any comment from an MLS/USSF advocate with a grain of salt... 😂😂😂
Ridiculous that Luna is not on the Olympic team. The whole program is broken.
Not American! Foreign! Think about the results Klinsman got! Regardless, how it ended, he got results! Also, he wasn’t playing! He left Landon of the squad in 2014….. that’s insane
Are they talking about T.Henry he won the World Cup.
He is a foreign coach!
Learned at clairfontaine his resume is impressive and the most important for the USSF he is CHEAP!
Fire Berhalter.
Keller trying to be a pawn for the ussf lol
They should have hired Jesse Marsch years ago but as a Canadian fan I'm kind of glad they didn't. 😊🇨🇦
Too late now. Hope Canada keeps Marsch until the WC at least. Canada has over performed so far in the Copa. If you can put up a fight against Argentina that would be impressive too.
He ain’t the answer. But much better than Greg. Hell BJ was better than Greg,
God no we need better tactical management if we want to run line to line then yes but if we need to actually use football brains
They are off base with the Luna conversation… none of them were anything close to a game changer like him in their prime. All the issues have to do with the coach, being offered to join as an alternate is a slap in the face when he has elevated each national team he has been apart of till now. We wouldn’t force any other player like that in any other sport to be a roster alternate; it doesn’t happen with our basketball team, our track and field team, our gymnastics teams; so why should a guy that has never had an issue getting on the field for America before now, and being the best creative player no less, have to beg for a spot and sit with being an alternate? I don’t see it as selfish, I see it as knowing he won’t get on the field as an alternate, especially cause that team will not go far without him anyways, they struggled and have struggled without him. USSF is in deep trouble with how their coaches work, and how the system works, because the reality is that it does not if they refuse to find the best coaches for the best crop of players that we have had.
NO. Please no Americans even under consideration this time. We need the gravitas.
No Americans OR MLS Guys
Fire Berhalter
I love how Herc pointed out it does not matter where the coach is from just because the likes of Mexico are purely obsessed with hiring a Mexican coach. Especialy now that most USA players are based in Europe so a European coach would not need to focus on the MLS because that is not where the roster plays in. The reASON Mexico needs a Mexican coach is because all those bums mostly play in Mexico so it makes total sense but for the USA they need someone different. These players play in Europe and different leagues so they can adapt to a new playing style
Golden generation and still hasn’t done shit tho 🤣🤣🤣😭 how sum mostly mls guys from 2000-10 had the best years and not these guys wonder maybe individual talents better but the team isn’t better 😂
@@wereallyrollin6680Coaching and style of play. Most of these players come from clubs who hit hard in transition.
Ali Krieger is such a good add on the show
Amd she's fine... Yes im down bad 🥴
It's gonna be Klopp
Anyone but GGG!!!!
He must a persona to Know pretty good the USA Soccer league
Alexi Lalas might have a problem, unless the coach is of European ancestry.
Kasey ❤ Gregg.
Are they really going to demonize Luna? These 🤡. He should’ve been included from the onset. Another typical idiot move by US soccer.
Nation of immigrants. Doesn't matter where the coaches come from. Don't limit the program.
No and that is a huge NO
For the record, Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley did nothing for US Soccer. They actually raised the embarrassment and joke level of US soccer. The Reyna saga highlights what a joke those involved are. Now Gio is the next Michael Bradley, useless like his father.r
By a coin toss 😂
We need the Ime Udoka of soccer. Someone who will be an asshole to these entitled players
What has Tab Ramos done for the program?
Ramos- I don’t know. I can say this - he was the first American player who commanded respect internationally. Having said that he also said he thought the Gio was going to be the next Zidane. That really blew my mind. Growing up in upper middle class NJ is no preparation for a genius who grew up on the rough streets of Marseille . Gio has no get stuck in gravitas. It is quite simple to see why he can’t breakthrough at the club level. He is just not tough enough…..
"great success" the delusion of some people..
Emma Hayes will bring in the British taskmistress mentality or the Nurse Ratchet thought process for the women. No. The next USMNT coach does not need to be American. They need to demand attention and respect. Players, because they are human too, need to be on point with that. Otherwise, they should lose their spot to the person who wants it more. Alexi Lalas has said it before and it sounds like you guys agree, that a coach really should not extend beyond 1 cycle.
Klopp or no one
Too fucking bad we cant get a great coach bc we are stuck paying coachs from the mens team the exact same as the womans team.
Honestly the coach should specifically not be american. Go after the best coaches available.
There are many good head coaches available e.g. Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino. Or Di Matteo that can do well for the US
Would it be, if they wanted an American again, and someone who won a World Cup, hire the coach who took the women to the last World Cup? Even if it is a woman?
Bring in Mourinho to make men out of this team in 18 months. The situation fits his profile
The question should be “is there any scenario in which the next coach should be American?” The answer is no.
Unrelated, Keller is really bad at this.
Usa team shpuld hired EL PUOJO HERRERA. Mexican natoonal team x coach. He loves Lime light. And work cheap. And plenty of Restaurants to rat in USA. OR HIRED TATA martinez Messi current coach. He lovez the spotlight. Both would be way cheaper than european coach. Znd still get same result.
I am Mexican, I mean You Need in the next procesos at the Best Coach of USA because if you rise you level all CONCACAF teams Too and ist importante because the next World Cup will be in HOME
Process
Important
I'm sorry i don't think other coaches from different nations should coach different teams.
I will give you the same recommendation I am giving to all the talking Pundits/heads show: GET THE MLS OWNERS TO PONY UP $100,000 per franchise to pay for a top quality manager and bypass the sponsors and the Federations financial restrictions. THIS IS SUCH A SIMPLE SOLUTION I CANNOT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS COME UP WITH IT! If 2026 is a failure they, as owners, are permanently fixed as the 5th biggest league fighting the WNBA for a peanuts TV contact for the foreseeable future if not forever! I am disappointed in your approach to to this whole GB fiasco. Been following religiously since 1989 watching the T&T miracle with my 2 Italian & Argentinian roommates . I will be dead before the USA hosts another WC. 2026 is it. USE YOUR PLATFORMS TO STOP COMPLAINING AND GIVE ACTUAL IDEAS!!!
All the talk about equality with the women's team... they can go out and get the best coach, so why shouldn't the men be able to go out and get the best coach? Pay is NOT an issue.
It needs from EUROPE
I was going to say Bruno Metsu but just found out he died years ago, oops!
Please stop hiring US coaches. It's never worked
Bring Back Bruce #bbb
Dempsey for coach!
KLOPP IN!
You should do your own podcast style, I'd very much prefer to hear your own rant rather than on a show
