Yes exactly what Ali Krieger and Casey Keller are saying. That players have to feel like if they don't perform they are out, and the next person is in. That little bit of fear of the coach. That feels like it is missing with the USMNT. Some of our main players are too comfortable with Berhalter.

It just kills Kasey Keller to say anything that isn’t a press release from the US Soccer Federation.

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.

No, no, no, no and no! The next coach CANNOT be an American.

Klopp, give him as much as he needs. He is known for getting the best out of his teams and speaks English.

marsh is an foreign coach for CANADA

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.

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.

Crocker out!!!!! Berhalter out!!!!

Keller is clearly working for the federation. Same old shit, same old coach. Just the way they like it

Jurgen Klopp👍

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.

Ali seems uncomfortable on the set ... Sebi does a good job of bringing her in .tries to get her engaged

I'd say Hervé Renard is the best solution.

This turned into a conversation about the Women's team and Emma Hayes...

I 100% agree with tab ramos but id be happy if tab got the job too! He coached half these guys before!

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

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.

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!

Some players are ROOTING for Greg to stay they are comfortable af

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??

A manager in the style of Antonio Conte please. Doesn't have to be American. Just someone who demands respect, fitness, discipline, and results.

NO. Please no Americans even under consideration this time. We need the gravitas.

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

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.

To Mr Crocker, With all due respect to you, and with the greatest of pleas…PLEASE…. Fire Coach Berhalter. Go after Klopp with all your powers, and PLEASE…Be the Steward of our Beloved program that you signed up for and have been given tasked to do. I’m also a HUGE Wrexham fan now. I respect your Welsh Roots. Please be here for US in OUR time of need. You signed up for this. I have no doubt…and I actually hope, this is as difficult time for you that it is for Us USMNT Fans. Because it really is. I’m a 48 year old lifer, and the stakes have never been so high coming into the ‘26 World Cup. I thank you very much for any and all consideration you may, I hope you may, give on this matter. Bless you in this difficult time and PLEASE, listen to US, the FANS who love this program so much from the bottom of our hearts.

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.

Sad to hear about Luna if it is all accurate. Hard to not have a big ego especially when you are younger.

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.

I wish Luna would have gone just for a new experience you never know if someone might get injured with how few roster spots that are available

Hervé Rennard,Paulo Bento,Julen Lopetegui,Pellegrino Matarazzo highly unlikely but try it: Klopp,Mourinho

Klinsman took them out of the group of death he also wrote a letter to get out of work to watch the world cup😅

No, only the top footballing nations, that are aiming at winning it all, should require homegrown managers

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.

7:05 Right on the Money. From outside, whether in the stadium or behind a Monitor Screen, it looks exactly that way. In team sports, where competition is the norm, when you start to hear the players say we like our coach, in life I learned to immediately check the results.. if that team is in a blank period you have to conclude that the players are too comfortable and they're basically trying to control the coach to go easy on them. They want the Status of a Star, but without winning it as a right. It's not working between Berhalter the FANS and the Players. And the only permanent thing in this sport is the FANs. So, why are some trying to convince the FANs to accept Failure on the basis that the USMNT Players are STARS and they like the Coach? Normally when that situation happens (the FANS like the Players and make Stars out of them, and the Players in turn say this is the coach we want) when that happens it's for a short time, not Permanently. So how did we get to "thing" where some of the FANs give Players the Status of a Star, and those players become the Controlling element in a Federation? The Problem is there are no results. Normally even if your Germany and you beat Brazil in Brazil 7-1 and you win the World Cup, you still have to respect the FANs as a whole. In National Teams the FANs are the entire Nation. The side responsible about this wacky relationship is the Federation. How did they not understand the lesson of 5-1? It's true it wasn't the moment to fire the coach, but it was a moment to make you DOUBT deeply the coach. When you lose 5-1 even if it's just a friendly, YOU'RE NOT DOING WELL. So why are they still treating Berhalter like he's a GINIUS, even after the contrast with Canada? I mean the level of Clarity is %100 Obvious. You hired the guy (re-hired) who lost a friendly by 5-1 (at home) and got ousted from Copa America (the biggest test for your level and most realistic that you can actually win), but you didn't hire the guy who took Canada to the Semifinal... and you're still playing the Role of a Federation that writes the Bible. They had to immediately turn against Gregg and say nice things about Jesse, within a NY minute from Canada beating Venezuela. BUT THEY DIDN'T at the USSF. So, why is it that it seams the USSF still doesn't understand they hired the wrong guy, and rejected the right guy? Even if they don't believe it, they should act as though they do for now, because the Metrics of the situation lead you strait to: JESSE is better than GREGG. The USSF seams to disrespect Jesse and Idolize Gregg. Something is wrong at the USSF!

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.

Keller trying to be a pawn for the ussf lol

A lot of federations play younger talent, I don’t blame him

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.

Nation of immigrants. Doesn't matter where the coaches come from. Don't limit the program.

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.

Are they really going to demonize Luna? These 🤡. He should’ve been included from the onset. Another typical idiot move by US soccer.

They should have hired Jesse Marsch years ago but as a Canadian fan I'm kind of glad they didn't. 😊🇨🇦

We just need a fresh start and a coach that will grind out a result with these players. Exactly what Kasey said.

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.

An American player being selfish?!?!? Isn’t that their go to position. Sounds like he fits in perfectly with the current national team squad

Fire Berhalter.

My vote 🗳️ is for Hugo Perez USA 1994 Former Player or an Argentinian Coach like Pochetino

Absolutely not. How is this even still a question?

Ted Lasso is what you need. Great soccer game y’all.

Diego Luna refusing the alternate position, opting not to go with the Olympic USMNT tells me there is a problem of too much stardom in US Soccer. Example, probably never hear such things from the Bundesliga Players in Germany. It's a Team Sport, you should be raised in a culture of Selflessness. I sense similar things from Gregg's USMNT. And, to a lesser degree from USWMNT (but not after hiring Emma Hayes) Usually the Head Coach keeps things in check as far as individual Players who don't have proper Soccer Culture. If you're a good Coach you will not fall for B.S. such as we like our coach while the Team just got whipped 5-1 in a friendly and lost in Copa America, on your home turf. These things should be the most important principals of a USMNT Player. You can't afford to have one arrogant player. So the Olympic USMNT will be better off without Diego Luna. Team before Player !

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.

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

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.

Ridiculous that Luna is not on the Olympic team. The whole program is broken.

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.

God no! Our next coach needs to be German and goes by the name Jurgen Klopp!

Ali Krieger is such a good add on the show

Describing quarter finals as great success is a joke…

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

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.

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

I would always take any comment from an MLS/USSF advocate with a grain of salt... 😂😂😂

Klopp or Tuchel

It's gonna be Klopp

Please stop hiring US coaches. It's never worked

Jurgen Klopp! Please!

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!

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

We need the Ime Udoka of soccer. Someone who will be an asshole to these entitled players

Marcelo Gallardo would be a good choice on the cheap

"great success" the delusion of some people..

By a coin toss 😂

Kasey ❤ Gregg.

I like Jurgen Klopp or Thomas Frank

No and that is a huge NO

Klopp or no one

Anyone but GGG!!!!

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.

Hervé Renard or Wilfred Nancy....

You should do your own podcast style, I'd very much prefer to hear your own rant rather than on a show

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 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.

He must a persona to Know pretty good the USA Soccer league

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 get it to a point but in MLS if you do nothing for a full month and someone gets hot there goes your time. If I was him I'd stay home. Play. Make them realise why they were stupid. His commitment is to his career. Idiot coaches aren't his problem.

Bring Back Bruce #bbb

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

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

Who else will it me? What else are you getting for $2mil salary other than an American MLS coach lol

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.

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

What has Tab Ramos done for the program?

The USWNT and USMNT are not analogous. The UsWNT is the best job in womens soccer. The best coach in Women's international soccer. The USMNT is not remotely that the best job and the best coaches don't coach in international men's soccer. The best are club coaches.

KLOPP IN!

fabian hurzeler

I'm sorry i don't think other coaches from different nations should coach different teams.
