The same guy blames Southgate for England looking awful but then turns around and said it's not Greg's fault this team is regressing. Some of the most ridiculous stuff I've ever heard

Stevie, not sure what you've been watching, but Berhalter's been trash for 5.5 years. Seb's right, he pulls the fire alarm at half-time, goes to some ridiculous 5-in-the-back setup, taking Gio off for CCV. Berhalter's been rigidly playing a 4-3-3 against all-comers for 5.5years, so the players have no experience playing this 5-in-the back. That's on Berhalter, not the players. GGG was fired from the Swedish 2nd Division for lack of offense. What have we seen from the USMNT under him - lack of offense. He was a middling MLS coach. The players and the fans deserve better.

"It's not Berhalter's fault!" I guess analysts and the USSF are content with mediocrity.

The second Stevie said its not Berhalter’s fault Sebastian went off 😅

Berhalter is a trash manager and should be sacked but we couldn’t make 8 yard passes in that game

Not Belharter's fault? A read card is not the reason they are out... they are out because they were not ruthless against Bolivia, and Gregg's poor game management vs. Panama.

United States need a new coach fr 😭

Under Greg, only 2 wins against top 30 teams not named Mexico. ITS GREGGS FAULT.

Berhalter needs to go!!!

It amazes me that the USA has never had a South American coach. They have gone for Europeans or locals Anglo coaches. Considering they play against Latin teams, you’d think that at one stage they would have thought about having an Argentinian or Brazilian coach. The whole world values their knowledge on the game yet the USA just ignores them. I’m thinking it’s a kind of bias against Latin American coaches.

USA is overrated. I think they are ranked in the top 15 according to fifa rankings. I would slot them 30 and this is before the COPA debacle.

The reality is the US board would've already fired Berhalter and the fact that they need to evaluate before they make a decision doesn't make sense.

No excuses, leadership is the issue.

The loss to Panama is inexcusable. Idgaf if we went down to 10. We had enough talent to win that game. Berkhalter made a critical error in taking off Balogun. That was it.

Against Panama, Berhalter decided to play a low-block for the entire second half, taking off Gio Reyna -- the one really creative and best passing player on the team -- for an extra center back at home against Panama, inviting Panama to attack. He also took off Balogun for Pepi, further limiting our counter-attacking threat that would have kept Panama honest, who after losing against Uruguay might have not been so eager to push numbers forward to win and risk getting burned on a counter-attack, losing, and thus being eliminated from the tournament altogether. That tactical idiocy and cowardice has defined Berhalter's 5 years in charge. So absolutely Berhalter is culpable. I know the non-Americans of ESPN FC hate the hype for the USMNT, but this squad's potential is unknown, but under Berhalter, they are definitely far less than the sum of the parts. That has been clear for years. If we were a serious footballing nation, we would have never hired him in the first place, never rehired him, and immediately fired him after getting grouped and not be debating it now.

This team would've been better under Klinsmann. We have regressed immensely, the team lacks leadership and character. Yes the talent and potential is there but you will need the right coach to get the best out of them. Competing in Gold cup and winning it means nothing when you can't barely make some noise at the copa america

Funny how Canada has an American coach who is now in quarterfinals.

Supposedly was a golden generation 😂

Even with the US not being great Berhalter is still under performing and needs to go. Even with a man down they where a goal up as well. No matter the club minutes. Lot's of national teams have squad players as starters and they don't fail. Greg is not the only problem but he is definitely part of the problem.

Same old story like 7 years ago

"Not as good as they think they are" Yah, it was you guys going on and on and on about the golden generation. And how even a man down that US should've still done well against Panama. "We think they're better than Panama and Bolivia" Well, you didn't even tie against Panama. So what does that actually say?

America needs Sean Strickland in the team

How can America loose when they have the best player of all time. Pulisic

Classic American, can't shut his mouth and listen.

Hes nuts if he doesnt think Panama has individuals who cant break US roster

Stevie defending US manager sums up his pundit career

The real issue is when you look at and hear Berhalter talk, does he instill Confidence of a Leader of Men, not your Buddy but your LEADER. Whatever answer you get, is the Reality.

I have never heard of Antonee Robinson In the premier league as best fullback

Lol. Who takes Stevie seriously? Lmao. Berhalter isn’t the problem? I turned off the video after just

It is absolutely ridiculous that Mr. Salazar was shouting down Mr. Nicol. Stevie played over 300 matches for Liverpool!! Salazar played NAIA or NCAA D3 soccer?! He needs to be a bit more respectful. On top of that, Mr. Nicol was 100% correct. Weah is not a defender, he was not a midfielder. If you are going to lose a player to a red card, a forward is the most fortunate place to lose a player. As Steve said, the defense was intact and the midfield was intact. There was no need to change or shuffle personnel like if a defender or a central midfielder was ejected. From that perspective, it is absolutely reasonable for Berhalter to hold until half-time and evaluate changes from there. Not that I am endorsing the play under Berhalter, but Salazar's particular point is out in left field. Did he play baseball too at Westminster???

The yelling guy thinks he's talking to the person he is angry with and decided to make stevie his punching bag. So much for a conversation and commentaries. 😂 That'll be all i'd ever watch another video with him on it. 😂

I think Stevie is right about the Panama game with 10 men but I think the USA needs a better manager anyway.

As a Canadian, I love the Americans passion and desire to be the best at pretty much everything, but from time to time you need to take a cold shower, have a look in the mirror, and except reality...As Burley said, yes he should be fired, but they are not nearly as good as they think they are...

they dont have enough players that can actually do something.

But they have an avenger on the field, how can they lose with the mighty unstoppable Goat Pulisic

Adalberto Carrasquilla is one of Panama's best players and incidentally was the guy who got a red card on Pulisic. He is club teammates with Griffin Dorsey both starting on a relatively middling MLS team, and they are roughly equivalent as players at different positions and are the same age. Griffin Dorsey has zero caps for the USMNT. None. The USMNT should beat Panama at home by multiple goals, and, quite frankly if playing well, should already be ahead by the time Weah picked up his red card. The talent gap is roughly equivalent of Newcastle vs Plymouth Argyle. At home. GGG has lost to this team three different times now.

The USMT is weak af

Stevie showing his classic outdated 1970’s view of football

Someone needs to teach the USMNT how to weigh a ball because the amount of force they put on pass is so bad no one can control it.

Stevie overriding point is the USA players do not take enough responsibility. That's a sign of overage overall quality, blaming a guy in the sideline when they're the ones on the pitch.

This is the problem with the USMNT. Pundits like Sebastián keep making excuses for the USMNT. This team isn’t very good! Period!! The fact that these players play aboard doesn’t mean they have what it takes to beat good teams. If you want proof, look at what happened against Uruguay. Every time the USMNT loses, pundits like Sebastian look for excuses because they can’t accept the USMNT isn’t very good. They get the odd good result, but aren’t very good.

They were up 1-0 with a man down

The U.S. football team is not experienced enough to play against countries who have football tradition. The manager is not that familiar of what to do when the team is struggling.

If you need to yell to get your point across, you have a weak argument.

Seb guy got anger problems, shouting like an idiot. USA team is basic at best enough with the hype.

the issue they don't get into is that its not just this tournament...remember the gold cup where they were lucky to get by jam

Bro talked like pulisic carried Chelsea to the champions league 😂. Billy and Cho and Tammy has 1 too

02:28 I'd like to point out to Seb. The captain and the top striker for Uruguay team are not guaranteed starter for their respective club teams. Heck, the top scorer for Uruguay plays for a team in Liga MX. And you freely admitted it's impossible for USA players to beat Uruguay. So it's really not a question of whether they played for their club or not, the fact of the matter is, USMNT players sucked. They played badly. That's it.

seb should stick to hosting shows just bec bro is shouting louder than everyone doesnt mean he has a point 😂

Arguments like this with Stevie is exactly what ESPN FC needs more of and less of Craig bashing Manchester United & less of Dan Thomas being rude to Don & panelists.

I agree with Stevie here, sorry. Not a GGGB fan at all but this failure is on Weah. Panama was the game they had to win and they were down a player early. If USA had won with 10 men then GGG would be hailed as a genius and you wouldn’t want that either.

Like Frank said months ago on the show. “In the US, football is for the rich. In other countries, football is for the poor.”

This man is on crack ! Best Left back in the Pem 🤣🤣 that is definitely not true

Fire berhalter

How many people wish that Jesse Marsch was the coach.

It is ABSOLUTELY Berhalter fault with a dash of fault from the Reyna family as well. Berhalter is playing tactics and formations that don’t apply to the talent on the roster. This should be an attacking forward team that doesn’t adjust until too late yet we have a team relying on the long ball and adjusting in the final 15-20. This is a better squad than the Dempsey/Altidore/Donovan era but they are coached far worse

Here hust to remind the result against Panama: Panama 2 x 1 US. It is not obvious that the US is superior to Panama. Pure arrogance from these so-called commentator Sebastian Salazar. He is clueless.

This Seb dude just talk BS with limited idea of Football (not soccer). Ranting ranting ranting without saying the reality, A bunch of these US men football players suck big time.

Berhalter, is NOT a winner! He was more concerned with Panama v Bolivia rather than gunning for a win against an Uruguay team that already qualified first in the group. His subs were absolutely abominable in both losses. His offensive desperation subs against Uruguay led to Adams McKinnie and Reyna playing the back line! Sacrificing our creative players for mediocre attackers. Yes, Weah’s red card hurt, but a good coach will update the game plan and formation.

I love Steve Nicol . I wish he’d coach the USMNT or was and assisting coach he def wouldn’t cradle these players

Seb’s wrong Cordoba for Panama would absolutely get in the USMNT starting 11

This is the problem, when a team does great it's because how great the team played and the coach was amazing, when they do poor it's only because the coach did poor not the players.

Younger guy forgot his Midol.

Its weird how everyone is avoiding the obvious aspect of the average American player verse an average player of another country. Look at their touches. When they get the ball, when they pass the ball, when they shoot the ball. Their touches are abhooooorent! Every time a US player touches the ball, it moves at least 2 meters away from the player. So then what do they do? Lunge kick the ball to the moon hoping one of their teammates is at the end of their hail-mary. I think what needs to change is the football (soccer) philosophy/culture/education. Because when I see the USMNT play, the first word that comes to mind is "flailing".

The yanks clueless

From reading the comments I can understand both sides of the argument. But all I will say is that we won’t truly know how good or bad the players are until we see the team hire a different coach in a different system then I think we will truly find the answer.

It's fairly common to move to a 531 when down to 10 men. It depends on whether you have better defenders and fullbacks or midfielders. If the midfield is better, you play a 441. Regardless, an attacking player is taken out You pack it in and play counter attacks. I agree that you cannot judge a manager in a game where his team goes down to 10 mean after 18 minutes.

Sorry Stevie not with you. As an American and someone that's played and watched for years berhalter cannot coach this team. When times get tough he can't make tough choices

Dude stop yelling at Stevie

One ESPN sports pundit is blaming the players and the other pundit is arguing and blaming the manager, don't blame the managers or the players, it's nobody's fault just blame the game! 😂😄👍

Seb lack of football knowledge is scary. He never analysis games. Does not break the game down. Just arrogance thinking USA has to be the best

Salazar absolutely embarrassing himself😂😂😂

Typical American getting angry when someone has a different opinion

Due respect to Seb but a bit of areogance there on his take of Panama and the competition. Panama are typically physical and tough and honestly a bit dirty. But the US should be used to them. Meanwhile i also disagree with Nichol - The US have a terrific young core but the manager is WELL out of his depth and its beyond obvious.

I get what Stevie is trying to say (but he is missing the point), yes these players have been mid...but whose fault is it? Chicken (Berhalter) or the Egg (Players) type argument. However, player underperformance or inability to meet expectations still results in managers getting fired. No matter what, it should all come back to the manager being unable to develop, unable to bring out the best in the players he has, get rid of Berhalter.

Leave Gregggggy aloooooone!!!!11!11!!

Overhyped players

At least Berhalter has tried something other than a 4-3-3 during his second go-round, which gave me some hope. But I think that Weah cost us this Copa more so than GGG. There is really little time to prepare for the World Cup now, so if Berhalter is to be replaced, that needs to happen ASAP, please, but I think it won't. Who would replace him, anyway? There is still heaps of talent here, folks, so let's not lose faith. Finally, some positives to take away from this Copa: Scally is a capable RB and held his own. Balogun is awesome. Pulisic is better than ever and now even gets angry. I actually was missing Zimmerman here, meanwhile, as the center back pairing looked shaky at times, though I have high hopes for Richards, but God bless Ream... Can he start in 2026? I don't think so. Robinson should have gotten minutes at this Copa. Happy Fourth of July, everyone. And GO CANADA!!!!

Yes there were defenders but when switching to a back 5, which the team hasn’t played, you not only concede the midfield, but it changes defensive assignments. It was lack of midfield pressure and those different assignments that led to the winning goal.

The reality is that the USMNT is NOT better than Panama. Look at the group standings.

Seb is delusional, child like and incredibly annoying

Lol not Greg’s fault, then Whose? He’s the manager is he not?

Steve is so right they blame everybody except them selves in the usmnt haha😂

Oh Seb! Why do all American talking heads SHOUT?

ok this is getting old, Berhalter is done

It’s the country’s fault itself. As a former college player in the States I know that every roster is full of foreign internationals. The USA don’t want players purely from America. They also don’t find people off the street that don’t have anything and are poor. They have academies for the rich to get their sons in. That’s why they suck. Every country they play against would die for that opportunity to play for their country. It’s means everything to them. There is nothing authentic about US football. They just try to copy and paste everyone else’s culture.

It’s definitely Berhalters fault. All one has to do is not be lazy and actually look at his results against any decent team. He’s terrible, why we haven’t replaced him yet is beyond me.

Seb is what happens when you are too emotionally attached to a point or stance and refuse to acknowledge any truths that refutes his bias. Children do this.

Seb and Herc need to move to Fox.. The relentless talking over without respect for Stevie to have his say and the idea that if you say it loud enough, long enough and only his opinion is worth listening to would fit right in with Fox and Alexi.

Maybe is not Gregg fault who knows but the big picture is the same course is not working for the team so question is it time For a change ? Why not boxers, and athletes in general do it when things don’t work and a change is needed think after 6 years and expectations are not fulfilled as of this moment a change is needed nothing personal

Canada 🇨🇦

Uruguay is an amazing team right now.. They're the only ones i fear for Argentina..But Messi will win it

Bro cited Pulisic winning the 2021 champions league when he was the worst player on the pitch when subbed on late in the match 😂

USA peaked in 1930 Got to the WC semis Going downhill ever since

absolutely Berhalter's fault!

Seb giving Stevie the American media treatment by yelling into the mic. Hey guy, it's ok to let someone talk.

The US thinks that pulisic is the next Messi and he hasn't done anything in Europe only to piggy back Chelsea for a CL but nothing in Dortmund or AC Milan.. So he's not a guy that can take you far for club or country. Facts

Unrealistic expectation by the U.S. fans..!!! ...Most of the talents in the U.S. sport go to baseball, basketball, and what is called as "American football" which is not even played by the foot...!!!..It may take another 10 years before the U.S. team becomes competitive in Copa America.

We didnt score enough goals. The attack is very weak and lacking in GGG system and it cost us in this tournament and in the many games. Nearly in the confederations cup. Its going backwards not progressing. Its time for a change in system and coach

Jesus how bad are Panama and Bolivia if none of these players can get in the us squad. Robinson plays for average fulham and wasnt good enough for the worst milan team in history. Deluded!!!!
