It was obvious after the T&T game there were massive, huge, serious, growing problems with this team tactically, mentally and the lack of focus, preparation.and execution was obvious!!!!

The money constraint argument is always interesting to me. There is likely no shortage of American soccer benefactors willing to bankroll a top-tier USMNT coach for the 2026 World Cup in the USA. If money is used as an excuse, it is because the US Soccer Federation has failed to be creative.

There is nothing to be excited about the US team. The system is broken. We need the game to be affordable to everyone and kids able to play from youth all the way through college. That's not happening here.
Completely agree. It is a money game in the US. You will never get the kids who will have that sense of desperation that in many cases make great players. As an outsider observer once remarked to me about his impressions of the US team: "They seem like a bunch of nice boys doing a good job." That about sums it up.
As a Panamanian, I get a degree of satisfaction knowing that my team of Panama 🇵🇦 was largely responsible for the dismissal of Gregg Berhalter as U.S. head coach. The United States looked down on us and considered the game against Panama as a forgone victory for them 🤣. I love it that the arrogant have been brought down to earth by a weaker team with no soccer culture or infrastructure.
This is exactly what happened. Not Berhalters fault, the players went out thinking they won the game already. People keep forgetting that MLS did something for USMNT players but it did a tremendous job giving the Central American teams another step up in quality. A lot of really good Panamanian, Costa Rican, El Salvadorian and Guatemalan players are playing in MLS and playing well.
The lesson here everyone is, if you play for the national team there is a clause in the contract, which states, "Upon reaching retirement you must agree to promote the USSF, no matter how rediculous our direction is, and we own your *esticles now!

Altidore scoring goals in MLS .. he is thinking I am good.. but in truth his plays very one dimensional, just using his brawn without using his brain..
Jurgen Klinnsmann should never have been hired in the first place. He was a world class striker in his days but as a manager he has done nothing but fail and that includes the USMNT.
Kilnnsmann is a bad coach. Not good at tactics. He's been fired from the Bundesliga and from the South Korea NT. He is a big picture guy and would make a good technical director, but he just can't coach.
Whoever they hire, the "man" has to have a legitimate resume, can recognize talent, demands effort from everyone on the team and has the balls to unselect players not cutting it.
Thank goodness. US men’s soccer is , and has been, the most frustrating watch over the last two decades. I hate to admit to this but I will; I have enjoyed the World Cup without the USA more because it is an enjoyable watch, which happens without my expectation of a frustrating collapse.
I just can't see the USMNT getting Klopp at all. He would have the opportunity to manage almost any team he wanted at domestic or International level, and by that I mean with out being rude a team that could possibly win the World Cup tournament. If you want someone who can build a team environment, create a bond between players & fans & who would be possibly be in it for the long term, then someone like Gareth Southgate is not as silly as it may sound. He could well be a European champion by next week & will probably leave the England national team no matter what. However would he want another job right away though ? Maybe not. I'd say the best manager you should try and go for is Mauricio Pochettino as I think you would have a chance of getting him. He works well with young players and players always seem to like him, He plays attractive football and he is available. I could easily see someone like him doing well with the team.
"We cheer for our other country, but if the US wins, then we will cheer for you" ...good lord...don't bother. The whole reason of being a fan of your national team is to support them win or lose.

The U.S. defense needs to focus on stopping goals and not raising their hand for offsides. They're too sophisticated and want to follow the rules with a participation trophy for on field referring. Colombia and Uruguay aren't scared to break the law as we saw after the game. Also, why would the U.S. want to learn how to handle fights like Colombia and Uruguay when they can just blame their coach and fire him after every major tournament.
Too bad the USMNT head coach is fired because all of his players underachieved in the big stage and made huge mistakes on the pitch. Let's be honest, regardless who they hire as next head coach, if their scouting and program does not improve in less than two years, they will be an early group exit at the 2026 World Cup in front of the home fans.
I don't see Xavi as a good fit with this team. I don't see these guys implementing Xavi's system, especially with the limited time you have as a national team manager.
How about Chris Coleman, he seems to do well on short time. The Welsh manager who took them to the semis? He seems to do well on short time and looks to be unemployed.
Can someone please tell this woman to get her facts straight before she talks. Panama has 8 players at the moment playing in Europe and more than half of them are playing in the first division of their respective leagues. In fact Michael Amir Murillo plays and starts for Olympique de Marseille. A club that has more history and is better than some clubs that your starting lineup players play for. Put some respect on the Panama team and players, maybe the only concacaf team that could have pulled up that upset.
You want to know who else need to go. Gio Reyna and his entitled little attitude and keep his dad away from anything related to the USMNT.. then they can start reevaluating the rest of the team but is in no way the golden era of US soccer..
Does anyone actually believe that this team could have competed in that game against Colombia and Uruguay. Those South American players are both more talented and COMMITTED to winning. The USMNT has played with intensity once during Berhalter’s tenure and that was the last game against Uruguay and still scored zero goals and literally had zero real opportunities to score.
Anybody who understands that Pulisic can't play on the flank and that hold-up players in front of a 3-man midfield is a prescription for getting beaten by Caribbean Island teams would be just great.
Said before and will say again: If we get a really good coach this time around, it will all have been worth it. The WC is a zillion times more important than Copa America for the future of soccer in this country, so if this is the crooked road to success, great. We are potentially able to get a better coach now than we could have two years ago.
Maybe if US Soccer focused on the game & delivering results, and not on being SJWs, then they'd do better... and more people would care. Until then, who cares... I don't.
US Soccer is showing maturity and growth. Grassroots fans are more demanding. I feel like Nacho Libre in the locker room with Escoleto- 'I wanna WINNNN!!'
A real world class coach someone like Klinsmann used to be, would also need a strong tech team to help with AI simulations, that will help develop strategies against different teams, evaluate skills of players quickly , ai will be able to provide recommendations on wide variety of opportunities to improve including selections....and much more. So a good strong coach + AI to help him with good strategic decisions on various things. AI can recommendations on various topics, coach makes the ultimate decisions.
Matt Betty Crocker needs to demonstrate to the fans that he can bring in a competent head coach who is capable of getting the best out of the USMNT for the 2026 World Cup. I appreciate that he is taking responsibility, unlike Gregg Berhalter, who blames his players. Crocker needs to bring in the best or I'm sure many fans will demand that he leave!
@@jordanarriola9398 Exactly, even if berhalter is in fact a “good coach” like people try and say. I don’t think these players would’ve ever fully respected him. Since most of their club coaches are better coaches. Telling the players “1-1 👀” after panama tied the game & then conceding immediately after was the final straw for me. Embarrassing look for him there
There is an Argentinian coach who I think would be perfect for the US, his name is Antonio Mohamed. I want him to coach the Mexican national team but I think his style better suits the US national team and vice versa
Name an elite manager that Coaches a national Team. IF Klopp OR any PL recent manager takes on the USA to manage, its a darn near rarity. European Coaching is the best way to go, short term. Long term, I think we need to start sending American Coaches overseas to learn. Look even England owes its top talent to foreign Coaching. the long term and short term model needs a switch.
The US need to be more ruthless with these coaches .... Gregg should have been fired a long time ago ... The talent they have is good enough to compete ....
We really don't owe Berhalter any praise. He wasted a lot of resources and time. He got paid to burn the program to the ground. Why are people thinking we owe him anything but a farewell as he does the long walk out of the office?
Kasey Keller said bring in a mercenary. Hiring Klopp and making Klinsmann an assistant coach would be a good mercenary team into 2026. I'm glad Kasey Keller remembers History courses from University of Portland.
When USMNT’s peak is beating Mexico’s worst generation in recent history three times in a row, - with the US’ best generation in history - you are in deep trouble.
MATT CROCKER is the one who needs to get fired along this mediocre below average coach. He doesn’t know anything about soccer or the culture. She’s just a Phone .
God stop giving Gregggggg plaudits for WC qualifying. CONCACAF is worse than it's ever been and this is the most talented roster the US has ever had. A slobbering drunk could have qualified for the WC. Everyone involved in Gregg's original hiring shouldn't have a job.
Right? Didn't exactly crush it in qualifying. Costa Rica was way down- aging out, Mexico bad as they've ever been and we still finished 3rd- made it by the skin of our teeth going down to goal differential.
A common problem I keep seeing with US soccer analysts and fans is that they are falling into the mistake that Mexicans have been falling into for years: thinking their team is actually better than it is. It sets the wrong expectations, it gaslights the players. Saying that the US team can be at the level of Colombia or Uruguay is non sense. There's decades and a long history of soccer ingrained in those nations, a history of paying dues and developing a culture and a mentality. Anything can happen in a tournament, and the US having had a good tournament at some point doesn't mean they should expect to magically be at that next level consistently. Keep taking steps forward, not making the nepo hirings, instead getting the winning mentality coaches, and the good tournament performances will become more common until they actually do reach another level. The fact is that if the US played in conmebol, they would have missed most world cups since 1994. Chile and Colombia missed it the last time and they were far better national teams. Those delusional expectations are what have kept the Mexican national team on a downward spiral, getting players burnt out, coaches getting fired so often, and on a trend to not even have the level to qualify for the 2030 world cup. Hopefully the US team doesn't follow them there.
I'm a dual nat. I don't need the USMNT to win. What I need is the USSF to show that they're committed to building a winning program and growing the game in this country by virtue of winning. As of now, I view them as being more committed to lining their pockets and appeasing/growing MLS.
But as part of that growth, we need to stop making the goal of getting out of the group stage. Look, I get that winning a world cup is like sending man to the nearest solar system to our own, but my philosophy is why play in the tournament if your not going to try and win it. Stop setting mediocre goals and shoot for the stars.
Why listen to Lalas? What team has he successfully coached? It's easy to be critical. It's hard to find legitimate solutions. This dude's expectations of American football on the international stage are so inflated and ridiculous...it seems that's what happens when you are in love with the sound of your own voice. Clint Dempsey over this guy any day.
Honestly Lalas' absolutely embarrassing comments on pay to play said so much about him in never going to listen to another word out of his ignorant mouth. I know he's always said stuff to get a reaction, that was true 20 years ago and it's true today. But you have to hold people accountable, and him thinking only is with money playing soccer is more than enough to remove this dude from my life competely. Is recommend you do the same. He's adding nothing to the conversation.
Why is he getting any credit? Did he develop these players? Did they get better under his tenure or stagnate/worsen? He took a talented team and wasted it. Good riddance
Results wise: 44-17-13 is not a bad record, just couldn't win the big games when it really counted. Also, the US team is not quite as talented as pundits keep saying. There are good players but not world best and no one close to a star. Team needs another Dempsey or Donovan.
USA couldn’t pull a result against 10 man panama ??? Or panama couldn’t pull result against 11 man Uruguay? Duh, neither could Brazil! I think she confused herself on that last point, I’m still not following what point she was trying to make.
I don't think GGGs friends of thirty years like Keller, Lalas and McBride are actually all in on his departure. Already getting the "careful what you wished for!" vibe from most of these guys. Especially Keller.
Who do you want to be USMNT's next Head Coach?

Crocker's job needs to be in the balance along with Batson's and Cone's depending on the outcome of the search.
Did she say Panama had 10 men in that game??
They did have ten men.
@@HammersWallsFor the last 2 minutes of stoppage time, right?
@@mohabugha Last two minutes of normal time plus stoppage time yes.
The U.S. defense needs to focus on stopping goals and not raising their hand for offsides. They're too sophisticated and want to follow the rules with a participation trophy for on field referring. Colombia and Uruguay aren't scared to break the law as we saw after the game. Also, why would the U.S. want to learn how to handle fights like Colombia and Uruguay when they can just blame their coach and fire him after every major tournament.
Yup
The US players and coaches need to learn from Colombia on how to play when one man down.
My advice would be to listen closely to Alexi - and then do the complete opposite of what he suggests.
The man is a fool.
Alexi equals word diarrhea.
Not saying you're wrong, but what does it say about you that apparently cares enough to post on his channel? 🤔
@@re1v3r Wanted a good laugh. Wasn't disappointed.
Too bad the USMNT head coach is fired because all of his players underachieved in the big stage and made huge mistakes on the pitch. Let's be honest, regardless who they hire as next head coach, if their scouting and program does not improve in less than two years, they will be an early group exit at the 2026 World Cup in front of the home fans.
Now make the team based on merit.
All the concacaf rivals are happy now.
then why did you play for Colombia
Carlos Tevez?
Graham Potter would be a good shout
Too bad nobody considered Xavi Hernandez.
That’s an excellent choice
No, you're wrong. Carli Lloyd
I don't see Xavi as a good fit with this team. I don't see these guys implementing Xavi's system, especially with the limited time you have as a national team manager.
Xavi tic tik a football manager to coach a dumb boot it up the field and let the lone striker make something happen team....
@@FrankieBlueEyes If they can't learn tiki-taka in 2 years then they don't deserve to even be professionals let alone national team players.
Bring Melissa more often. She is very articulate.
Lala should try to bring Ale Moreno. He’s passionate and articulate in the world in football.
David Moyes isn't a bad option. Tuchel or some Dutch guy.
Tuchel can manage top european sides, why would he go for a second rate national team job?
How about Chris Coleman, he seems to do well on short time. The Welsh manager who took them to the semis? He seems to do well on short time and looks to be unemployed.
Can someone please tell this woman to get her facts straight before she talks. Panama has 8 players at the moment playing in Europe and more than half of them are playing in the first division of their respective leagues. In fact Michael Amir Murillo plays and starts for Olympique de Marseille. A club that has more history and is better than some clubs that your starting lineup players play for. Put some respect on the Panama team and players, maybe the only concacaf team that could have pulled up that upset.
You want to know who else need to go. Gio Reyna and his entitled little attitude and keep his dad away from anything related to the USMNT.. then they can start reevaluating the rest of the team but is in no way the golden era of US soccer..
Does anyone actually believe that this team could have competed in that game against Colombia and Uruguay. Those South American players are both more talented and COMMITTED to winning. The USMNT has played with intensity once during Berhalter’s tenure and that was the last game against Uruguay and still scored zero goals and literally had zero real opportunities to score.
Our team has some talent but they're soft af. A bunch of rich kids with no passion for the game.
I wonder if Berhalter is eligible to be rehired as the next coach 🤣
The process says he's the right guy this time!
So does GGG still get paid his full salary for the remainder of his contract?
Yep.
Man got his bag and said f it
Anybody who understands that Pulisic can't play on the flank and that hold-up players in front of a 3-man midfield is a prescription for getting beaten by Caribbean Island teams would be just great.
Said before and will say again: If we get a really good coach this time around, it will all have been worth it. The WC is a zillion times more important than Copa America for the future of soccer in this country, so if this is the crooked road to success, great. We are potentially able to get a better coach now than we could have two years ago.
This show is basically "yap about something you don't have a clue about"
Maybe if US Soccer focused on the game & delivering results, and not on being SJWs, then they'd do better... and more people would care. Until then, who cares... I don't.
Stop mentioning Cherundolo. He is not ready, and would probably end up being Berhalter 2.0
Can somebody get rid of Alexis Lalas? knows nothing about football.
US Soccer is showing maturity and growth. Grassroots fans are more demanding. I feel like Nacho Libre in the locker room with Escoleto- 'I wanna WINNNN!!'
Patrick Viera is the move
A real world class coach someone like Klinsmann used to be, would also need a strong tech team to help with AI simulations, that will help develop strategies against different teams, evaluate skills of players quickly , ai will be able to provide recommendations on wide variety of opportunities to improve including selections....and much more. So a good strong coach + AI to help him with good strategic decisions on various things. AI can recommendations on various topics, coach makes the ultimate decisions.
Matt Betty Crocker needs to demonstrate to the fans that he can bring in a competent head coach who is capable of getting the best out of the USMNT for the 2026 World Cup. I appreciate that he is taking responsibility, unlike Gregg Berhalter, who blames his players. Crocker needs to bring in the best or I'm sure many fans will demand that he leave!
They need to fire Jay Berhalter and anyone else who was involved with hiring his brother twice.
Tim Weah got his coach fired basically
And I thank him so much for that
This was the silver lining that we couldn’t see at the time lol also Jesse Marsch success with Canada did wonders towards Berhalters exit
@@jordanarriola9398 Exactly, even if berhalter is in fact a “good coach” like people try and say. I don’t think these players would’ve ever fully respected him. Since most of their club coaches are better coaches. Telling the players “1-1 👀” after panama tied the game & then conceding immediately after was the final straw for me. Embarrassing look for him there
There is an Argentinian coach who I think would be perfect for the US, his name is Antonio Mohamed. I want him to coach the Mexican national team but I think his style better suits the US national team and vice versa
Name an elite manager that Coaches a national Team.
IF Klopp OR any PL recent manager takes on the USA to manage, its a darn near rarity.
European Coaching is the best way to go, short term.
Long term, I think we need to start sending American Coaches overseas to learn.
Look even England owes its top talent to foreign Coaching.
the long term and short term model needs a switch.
Are you kidding me? Advocaat, Bielsa, Nagelsmann, Rangnick, Deschamps are all current inrernational managers.
Ancelotti, Benitez, Guardiola, Klopp, Lowe. One of those names I would love to hear.
Keep dreaming😂😂😂
Tuchel
The next coach needs to be Argentinian❤❤❤❤
No, Bolivian
😂😂😂😂 im sorry i need to laugh
The only MLS coach that should be considered is the Columbus coach.
The US need to be more ruthless with these coaches .... Gregg should have been fired a long time ago ... The talent they have is good enough to compete ....
Pffft no sorry its not. We are average at best.
We really don't owe Berhalter any praise. He wasted a lot of resources and time. He got paid to burn the program to the ground. Why are people thinking we owe him anything but a farewell as he does the long walk out of the office?
Kasey Keller said bring in a mercenary. Hiring Klopp and making Klinsmann an assistant coach would be a good mercenary team into 2026. I'm glad Kasey Keller remembers History courses from University of Portland.
When USMNT’s peak is beating Mexico’s worst generation in recent history three times in a row, - with the US’ best generation in history - you are in deep trouble.
MATT CROCKER is the one who needs to get fired along this mediocre below average coach. He doesn’t know anything about soccer or the culture. She’s just a Phone .
Results come with pressure. Usa is nowhere near the pressure needed
When player who never accomplish anything give us a wisdom ? Like we don’t have enough of this for last 4 years ?
Just not a lot of analysis at all here, frankly
God stop giving Gregggggg plaudits for WC qualifying. CONCACAF is worse than it's ever been and this is the most talented roster the US has ever had. A slobbering drunk could have qualified for the WC. Everyone involved in Gregg's original hiring shouldn't have a job.
Right? Didn't exactly crush it in qualifying. Costa Rica was way down- aging out, Mexico bad as they've ever been and we still finished 3rd- made it by the skin of our teeth going down to goal differential.
Canada made the last world cup. CONCACAF and FIFA gifts the U.S the easiest qualification process they possibly can.
Marcelo Gallardo is the appropriate answer, and no other.
I don’t want an MLS coach please. MLS wouldn’t be competitive in any other country, let’s go get a real coach
I think it will be Graham Potter
A common problem I keep seeing with US soccer analysts and fans is that they are falling into the mistake that Mexicans have been falling into for years: thinking their team is actually better than it is. It sets the wrong expectations, it gaslights the players. Saying that the US team can be at the level of Colombia or Uruguay is non sense. There's decades and a long history of soccer ingrained in those nations, a history of paying dues and developing a culture and a mentality. Anything can happen in a tournament, and the US having had a good tournament at some point doesn't mean they should expect to magically be at that next level consistently. Keep taking steps forward, not making the nepo hirings, instead getting the winning mentality coaches, and the good tournament performances will become more common until they actually do reach another level. The fact is that if the US played in conmebol, they would have missed most world cups since 1994. Chile and Colombia missed it the last time and they were far better national teams. Those delusional expectations are what have kept the Mexican national team on a downward spiral, getting players burnt out, coaches getting fired so often, and on a trend to not even have the level to qualify for the 2030 world cup. Hopefully the US team doesn't follow them there.
I'm a dual nat. I don't need the USMNT to win. What I need is the USSF to show that they're committed to building a winning program and growing the game in this country by virtue of winning. As of now, I view them as being more committed to lining their pockets and appeasing/growing MLS.
But as part of that growth, we need to stop making the goal of getting out of the group stage. Look, I get that winning a world cup is like sending man to the nearest solar system to our own, but my philosophy is why play in the tournament if your not going to try and win it. Stop setting mediocre goals and shoot for the stars.
I strongly suspect that this job is attracted to this job.... Klopp can change this team....
They better be listening! 😅
So American. The entitlement that they could get the best coaches in the world or past football legends to coach.
You should bring Caruso Lombardi in.
Wish they would do the same with Southgate
Don't be daft. Rubbish comment.
Why listen to Lalas? What team has he successfully coached? It's easy to be critical. It's hard to find legitimate solutions. This dude's expectations of American football on the international stage are so inflated and ridiculous...it seems that's what happens when you are in love with the sound of your own voice. Clint Dempsey over this guy any day.
How does Matt Crocker still has a job?
Honestly Lalas' absolutely embarrassing comments on pay to play said so much about him in never going to listen to another word out of his ignorant mouth. I know he's always said stuff to get a reaction, that was true 20 years ago and it's true today. But you have to hold people accountable, and him thinking only is with money playing soccer is more than enough to remove this dude from my life competely. Is recommend you do the same. He's adding nothing to the conversation.
He's been a personal friend of GGG for over thirty years. His attempts to be "objective" are high level unintentional comedy.
Poch or Klopp in!!!
Bradley NOPE, Tierry Henry could be interesting...
Why is he getting any credit? Did he develop these players? Did they get better under his tenure or stagnate/worsen? He took a talented team and wasted it. Good riddance
USA will be hosting the WORLD CUP in just two years....Now more than ever we need to swing big and get and pay a great coach!
Results wise: 44-17-13 is not a bad record, just couldn't win the big games when it really counted. Also, the US team is not quite as talented as pundits keep saying. There are good players but not world best and no one close to a star. Team needs another Dempsey or Donovan.
USA couldn’t pull a result against 10 man panama ???
Or panama couldn’t pull result against 11 man Uruguay?
Duh, neither could Brazil!
I think she confused herself on that last point, I’m still not following what point she was trying to make.
MLS coach here we come😂
Lexi should be the next coach 🎉
Melissa is very wise when it comes to soccer
Huh? Are you serious or being facetious?
@@sheldoninstis that cause she’s Colombian and she’s hot
@@Frankieefootballmundial
😂😂 is that you’re defense, racism accusations?
IT’S THE STUPIDITY AND VAPIDITY OF HET COMMENTS THAT’S BEING CRITICIZED!!🤦♂️
Berhalter wins MLS cup in the next four years.
He needed to go, I think we all agree on this, finally.
I don't think GGGs friends of thirty years like Keller, Lalas and McBride are actually all in on his departure. Already getting the "careful what you wished for!" vibe from most of these guys. Especially Keller.
