I know the other guys can be pretty aggressive or passionate about their opinions (Tac, Pete, SRC) but they are intelligent and genuine fans of the sport. And speak of pessimism at times but if you watch them, they are very optimistic. They just refused to be manipulated by a federation that pisses on their shoe and tries to convince them its rain. We have all been screwed over by the USSF, especially the players, and we need to expect nothing less than a dramatic change, in the very least, the coaching and management.

You could argue, as the game played out that it was the referee/officiating crew that was the reason that we LOST the game - they did award Uruguay a phantom goal that was the only goal of the game. However, it was not their fault that we did not WIN the game, which was what we needed to do. The failure to score is on us, and the failure to advance is on us.

He was AWED by Uruguay as if he was a u12 player. There were two chances with a right-foot player coming in from the left who should have shot but instead passed but none of them here Pulisic because he was stranded on the right.

True. But, on the other hand, this is exactly what I felt about the team pretty much the entire period from 2011 to 2017 when the program finally collapsed. I've felt mostly good about the last six years compared to the prior period. Berhalter for the first time in the job failed to meet the minimum required expectations. He deserves to be dismissed. But I figure its only about 50% chance that it will get better once he's fired or resigns. There is some lucky MLS team that will pick Gregg up. But there just aren't a lot of great choices for a coach that are realistic and available right now. I don't foresee the team even having a coach until early next year if they release him now.

Uruguay population 3.4 mil - TWO world cup wins. US population 342 mil. Estimated total number of youth in soccer development academies in Uruguay at U14 -- 105K; for USA at U14 -- 2.4Mil. It's the quality of training, not the number of youth being trained. We need to focus on recruiting socioeconomically disadvantaged youth--we owe it to them and these youth have much more ambition/drive. MSL/USSF needs to comply with FIFA RSTP solidarity payment guidelines, so that US youth soccer development can shift from the short-term goal of extracting fees from parents to the long-term goal of actually developing youth skills/knowledge (This actually will make $$$$$$$$$ in the long term). USSF can also get a real manager for the men's team. Jurgen Klopp is out there!

This is another problem with not having players at the top clubs in the world that actually win things of significance. Besides not having the top competitive experience, they know no one will take them seriously if they talk about hating losing. I wouldn't. So they don't bother talking about it, and they shouldn't.

As a law student, the recent SCOTUS decisions have left me with little hope, and, like you, soccer/football is all I have to look forward to. Let’s hope we can turn this around! And great work on this video, we appreciate all that you do!

Big up and well said on the state of the world side comment. Soccer or Football are one of the few escapes we get from the rigors of the world and even that is in flux. Also I would add that it's not only shameful, it is embarrassing the direction we put forth in this game. The US Soccer Federation is in a very similar place as our nation. It is not in a good place and certainly plays a part in this debacle we are faced with in finding some stability. Onwards and Upwards to my fellow USMNT supporters and I wish you well.

I'm totally with you Jake! On the rest of it too ❤️‍🔥 I feel *exactly* as you do and I'm glad you said it using your full range of expression 😉 The worst betrayal for me is that over say the last 2 international windows we've seen these *glimpses* of what this team *could* be. The chemistry between Gio and Haji. Puli's individual brilliance. Ream's stone cold defensive confidence. Our fire in the midfield. But even after some of the best moments I was never able to trust that we wouldn't get embarrassed again by Greggg's incompetence. Berhalter's superpower is blame deflection, so your choice of the term "gaslit" is perfect. He *is* a narcissist. But I could accept that if he were actually any good. He's not. This generation... our best generation so far... will never get an opportunity like the 2026 WC again. Berhalter out!

As a Canadian fan this is what I've learned about international soccer. Expect a clown show when it comes to officiating and tournament organizing. Expect to be disrespected by every country you play against and even the ones you don't play against. Expect the worse possible conditions, accommodations, schedule, and anything else that could give you a disadvantage thats in someone else's hands. Then when you overcome all of that you get to watch youtube videos where everyone says you're still no good.

Even you Canadians don't understand the level of hate and pressure we experience, because the sabotage against the US is not just sporting- inspired, it's also political. Canadians only experience disrespect in regards to the sport. It goes way deeper for Americans. That being said, your points are still perfectly valid 👍

The pulisic handshake is the only disagreement I have with you. Just before pulisic wnt for the handshake he had motioned to the ref that he should celebrate with the Uruguayan players. So honestly I wouldn’t shake his hand either. That doesn’t change tbd fact that Berhalter has to go.

Jake - what's the deal with McKennie, Adams, and Reyna? Are they a good midfield trio? Do they understand each other's roles and do they have good interplay together? It seems like we have 3 guys with great individual attributes but they don't combine well. Every time I see McKennie on the ball I'm hoping his tenacity and athleticism will lead to something good. I'm never thinking he's going to orchestrate a 3-pass combo that will release Pulisic down the wing for a 1v1 opportunity. A lot of pundits are saying we need to score more goals/score more often. Do we have midfielders who can do their part to create frequent scoring chances? I don't think Adams or McKennie are expected to do that at their clubs. And Reyna trains in a club environment, but doesn't play, so he certainly isn't expected to carry an offensive load. If this is our midfield trio in 2026, will we be able to score goals?

@celebrim1 8 күн бұрын
What makes you think they have great individual attributes ass opposed to merely OK? McKennie in particular is almost impossible to fit into any team in a productive manner. He's not a reliable defender, but at the same time he can't score with his feet. You don't want him as a box to box because he can't score from outside the box, and you don't want him as a six because his judgement is poor. And he's not great as a #10 because his distribution isn't great. Also he's prone to getting out of shape. Adams is the best of the three, but he's injury prone and neither fast nor strong. Plus sometimes he gets over committed and doesn't track back quick enough. And Reyna has tons of skills but the mental capacity of a 10 year old. I am resigned to the fact that at this point he will always be no more than just wasted potential. I think you are starting to understand the problem with the team when you ask, "who can do their part to create frequent scoring chances?" You really need to ask that question about the whole team. We don't have a reliable international quality #9. Both Balogun and Pulisic are players that are really only as good as the players around them. They aren't players that frequently create chances on their own. And Weah is so unreliable at finishing that he's now relegated to fullback duties for his club. He only sparkles on the USMNT because we are overall so unathletic and Weah is at least a decent athlete. Berhalter deserves to be dismissed for this performance, but a coaching change isn't going to fix the fundamental problems.

I was at work during the match, and it’s all I could think about. I hurried to break to check my phone…and I saw the 1-0 score line and then the 2-1 score line for the other match. I knew we were done, and I’ve been ranting since last summer that rehiring Berhalter was the worst idea. Who could even think he is the right choice is an effing idiot, because he keeps proving every window he is not the guy.

Offside take: The VAR team looks at all camera angles and frames, not just the one used by the broadcast. They have a tool that draws the lines based on the dimensions of the view (the "not parallel" argument is ridiculous as this is factored in by the software) There are limitations with certain angles and quality, but because of those limitations VAR needs to consider the complete range of frames where the header may be in contact, in this case, it is likely the first frame of the header The presented "Frame" shows (1) contact with the ball, (2) the backmost US player, and (3) the foremost Uruguayan player. when a line drawn between 2 & 3 does not show any part of the Uruguayan past the line - VAR does not have a "clear and obvious" argument to challenge the call on the field. Even If the following 2/3 frames demonstrate a clear offside, it doesn't override the fact that there was at least one frame, from one camera angle that demonstrates onside. That's how "clear and obvious" works: American's can stop crying about it.

I agree with Berhalter not being the guy we can trust moving forward because it appears the players are too comfortable and are delivering on the field. Perhaps they are not as good as we think they actually are. Disagree 100% about the screenshot where it shows Berhalter with the 1-1. We shouldn’t rely on other results but we also have to play it smart. What would it happened IF say Bolivia is tying the game at the end of the game and we push too many players forward and we get caught in transition to lose the game and be eliminated. Everyone would be saying the opposite and complain why Berhalter didn’t inform the players the other result to manage the game. At the of the day, looking the last friendlies results gives me no hope this team is moving on the right direction and while we can point fingers at the referee, Weah and to some players that didn’t lived up to the expectations such as McKennie, Musah, Pepi, Turner, Horvath, Richards and our savior Reyna we should thank Berhalter but we need a breath of fresh air and new ideas moving forward.
