Bergholter has created a toxic culture of mediocrity with the team. This is the third stupid red card this year . The players are best friends with the coach rather than respecting the coach and at fear of being bench if they do not deliver. They will never be pushed to be better under this moron. Moreover tonight, Bergholter deciding pulling the only creative play makers out and park the bus to get a draw was so disheartening. #FireBergholter

Uruguay just whooped Bolivia 5-0 we’re getting cooked😂

Bruce tied World Cup champion Italy with 9 men. Gregg has no excuses

5-0 Uruguay currently, and Max said 2-0 was acceptable 😂

Uruguay struggles in the heat he said does he know geography at all 😂😂

This is a disaster. Theres no way the US beats Uruguay. They will be knocked out in the group stage and Gregg should be fired as a result. I just hope and pray they hire a top class foreign manager.

Just remember that Jurgen Klinsmann got an aging USMNT beating a stronger Paraguayan side 1-0, who beat Brazil and got 4th place in the 2015 Copa America edition with just 10 men!!!

Please Max, no dedicated fan wanted Gregg a year ago even

Sounds like another cover up for gb

Good luck beating Uruguay who just destroyed Bolivia 🤣

Wow Max in FULL GGG defense mode. WHY do these players think they can get red cards from lack of discipline and not face repercussions. Because Gregg wants to be their buddy and not their leader.

It makes me happy that this people are slowly turning into Mexican press🤣

I doubt we beat or tie Uruguay. We are done. Let’s get real.

This is the worst take on that game. Go to 11 yanks, tactical manager and the straight red card pods.

I agree in large part this is on Tim Weah but doesn't a good coach prepare players for situations like this? For this to happen twice so close together. Sergino Dest okay, isolated incident. But now, just a few months later?! Every team meeting since the last match should've been bookended by: "guys I can't stress this enough: They are going to attempt everything to get someone sent off. You will be letting the entire team down if you take the bait. DO NOT take the bait!" I mean maaaaaaaybe that happened or, maybe Gregg was best-friend-manager and mentioned it once as a "hey guys you're all professionals, I trust you.". Or, maybe he didn't mention it at all. Maybe if Weah and Dest didn't feel so secure with their spot it doesn't happen. Few people know the answers to these questions but Im pretty confident where to put my money.

Thanks Max, measured take. Hopefully this sets up a miracle and we continue on.

And this is why we needed Vazquez in the team. straight-up target man, good form in Liga MX. 4-4-1, he gives us a different look. Flo's good, but Vazquez could pound the opponent as a needed sub. Pepi couldn't do it.

Fox was giddy about the players dancing during warm up. That’s all you need to know about the problems with this team. Time to get serious, and time to establish consequences for poor performances.

Sad GGG has this team playing like this and substitutes show he has no idea what he is doing. He had no choice to sub Turner but…Fire him. We have 2 years to get ready for WC.

Unexcusable. GGG has got to go.

Max, your anger and frustration was justified. I, too, was shocked to hear Panama upset the U.S. I was equally shocked to see Tim Weah's moment of madness that resulted in a red card that would cost his team and country to go to the quarterfinal round. In all honesty, I can't see the Americans getting past Uruguay, a traditional South American power. The Uruguayans look really strong both in offense and defense against both Panama and Bolivia. It's going to take a Herculean effort for the U.S. to beat them. Canadians soccer fans like me want to see our boys make history tonight.. A win or draw against Chile would put Canada into the quarterfinals for the first time ever in this tournament where they would face Venezuela who upset Mexico. VAMOS CANADA!!! LET'S GO!!!

That stupidity has cost USA the classification being local, because Uruguay is top 2 on this tournament. That is a player where you need to buy him a ticket and say "never come back".

BS. You can bunker without putting in extra defenders, especially if you have to play 1 down for 70 minutes. Yes you have to get players behind the ball, but you put players in that can defend and counter attack, which makes taking Balogun off inexplicable. As does taking off Gio for CCV. Gio should have stayed on, or brought in Musah so he could counter. Putting in Pepi when you have Haji and Sargent both better at counter attacking is inexplicable. So defending Berhalter by saying every coach would bunker doesn’t excuse Berhalter looking like he’s never managed a team down a player.

Max it’s not just this one game it’s poor performance after poor perfomance going back to the Trinidad game. It’s lack of a plan B going back to World Cup qualifying. Out coached in round of 16, etc…… If the majority of the players are underperforming it’s on the manager

Fire Berhalter

How this man is not calling out Belhalter baffles me.

I love it because, this is your immediate reaction. We all know Timo does the work of about 2 to 3 players on a regular basis, so in retrospect, it was a huge mistake on his behalf. Not like Weah… we needed him.

mmmm That's cute.. but nope.... The is NO WAY the USMNT beat or draw with Uruguay.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"US still has a shot" NO THEY DON'T!... that smug cocky attitude of many US fans is what makes lots of neutrals root against the USA, because of that brash assumption that the team is much better than what they really are, have you forgotten the recent showings? against T&T, Jamaica with that last minute own-goal miracle, and 2 weeks ago the humiliation against Colombia? Please get off that high horse Mr Bretos, you, who petulantly predicted a final run after defeating Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia!!

Great news

I tried to warn the masses about taking it for granted of advancing

Weah 60% at fault, Berhalter subs terrible and rest of the team are 40% at fault for this loss

Don’t listen to these comments Max, I think you are doing a great job. Keep it up 👍🏻

Panama actually has a coach and it’s crazy Gregg been here for 6 years

Only thing you were wrong about @maxbretos is that we’ll continue to flock here even if USMNT bows out early (which would be deeply soccer-painful).

They were going to lose even without the red card, Ber halter was the only Coach criticized at the world cup by another coach. He's terrible and got lucky against both Scotland and England.

Nepohalter should not be in the hot seat for the match against uruguay. It should already be a foregone conclusion that he will be fired after this tournament no matter what happens.

Weah what were you thinking bro? You can do that in a friendly but not in a major tournament not to mention a match that can seal you a spot at the quarterfinals man You let your country down, your fans down, and most importantly your teammates down dude 😭

Yes it rests on Weah, but the coach has to adjust to the situation and he failed . It is time for a new coach ,he never has a plan for red cards ,he has proven this three times !

Dest had a red, lost to T&T, barely beat Jamaica, get hammered by Colombia and now this. It's great to beat Mexico but where are the signature wins? A tactician and a disciplinarian is needed, not a coach who the players like.

Pepi doesn’t deserve to be on a national team if he can’t score that goal a high school striker could finish that

Dude I can’t even with you anymore..

Hey Hey Ho Ho GGG HAS GOT TO GO!!!!

Assuming we do not advance, the players on clubs in leagues that start in August can focus on their clubs, and the USSF can decide who should coach the Nations League Quarterfinals in November. While be eliminated in the group stage at home is rare (there are exceptions like when South Africa was one of the worst teams in the World Cup they hosted so their elimination was not surprising), we still played or will play Colombia, Brazil, and Uruguay, who are all in the top 14 of the FIFA Rankings. Assuming we do not get a shocking loss in a Nations League aggregate against an opponent who cannot be Mexico, Canada, or Panama, we will have the Nations League Semifinals and Final or Third Place Game in March, followed by the Gold Cup in June. I do not ask for coaches to be fired, but I know that Berhalter was unpopular before this month, and I think a majority of fans will want a coaching change if we get eliminated on Monday. Having players on top clubs can be fun to watch and talk about, but here is a question I want fans including Max to answer. Which would be better, reaching the Quarterfinals of World Cup 2002 when players were on worse clubs (I did not look up what clubs those players were on, and MLS was worse then), or losing in the Round of 16 at home in 2026 when players were on better clubs? Uruguay defeated Bolivia 5-0. Bolivia had more possession tonight than we did, but Bolivia got outshot 17 to 2. We could face double-digit shots on goal for the second time in four games.

Lack of preparedness, lack of discipline, lack of response are all on ggg. The red card is on Weah, but not the entire loss. If ggg doesn’t have this team steeled against CONCACAF CONCACAFing, then that is on him.

Mosse knows his stuff, the other dude in the show, not so much. Clint is a legend.

I thought the third cb did help we cut the crosses down significantly in 2nd half compared to what we saw at end of first. Tough loss but in a way in puts us in a knockout game one game early. I hope to see same line up with Aronson on for Weah and Haji coming in late if we need some north/south running

Remember when everyone hated Klinsmann? I’m sure you’d rather have him now

What are you talking about when you say that Panama might be the only CONCACAF team in the quarterfinals??? Canada is a CONCACAF team & they will be in the quarterfinals when they defeat Chili!!!

Hi Max! I would like to extend an invitation to you to come join the Canadian bandwagon as Canada made history last night by becoming only the third CONCACAF side to make it to the quarterfinals as debutants in Copa America. The first was Mexico in 1993, and the second was Honduras in 2001. Canada drew Chile 0-0 which was enough since Argentina beat Peru (2-0) the same night. This is HUGE for Canadian soccer as a whole. Man, wouldn't it be shocking if both the U.S. and Mexico not qualify for the quarterfinals while Canada remain the lone CONCACAF side whom nobody gave a chance? We shall see what will happen in the next couple of days. If that possibility do become a reality, you're always welcome to join the Canadian bandwagon as our boys hopefully will take us on an unforgettable ride as they make more history. We would love to have you aboard. VAMOS CANADA!!! LET'S GO!!!

Brutal

You can’t bunker for 70 minutes and expect to not concede my friend. They had momentum, should’ve kept up the pressure, after the first goal by Flo.

The blame is split between Weah and Berhalter. It’s not entirely Weah’s fault because the USMNT still scored first and were ahead, and then Berhalter never showed he had a plan for any situation other than an ideal one… plus his substitutions telegraphed his panic, essentially invited Panamá to attack even more… which of course they eventually did. PS. Pete Douthit from 11 Yanks clarified what he said about you… basically that he thinks you’re a great person with a fantastic sense of humor, but he disagrees on many soccer points with you… and wanted to invite you to discuss the issues on a program.

Weah was never red-carded playing for Allegri, nor Dest for Bosz, in many more games. It's just human nature. Champions League players can not respect an MLS-tier coach. #NotRocketScience

Blame Panama. They scored more goals. Panama who? Americans think only about Americans. Do we even know the names and strengths and weaknesses of Panama players.

November 27, 2023 seven games ago, Sergino Dest lost his mental composure that cost USMNT a lose vs Trinidad and Tabago. Since that time USMNT Gregg Berhalter records is 3 wins, 4 loses and 1 tie since The question we need to ask ourselves as fans are we better off the last year with Gregg Berhalter?

Bro we are getting grouped. Probably going to have to beat Uruguay by multiple goals and that ain't happenin...US Soccer better fire him when we get knocked out on Monday. I don't even know why I follow this team anymore. Nothing has changed since TNT

Usmnt too worried about future music careers and bringing boom boxes to training...

Weah had a huge part, no doubt, but why do the players deel that they can act this way. They dont do it in their clubs. The in-game management by GGG was bad. Why start adams when you know he can only give you 45 min? Red cards are part if the gane, you muat be prepared for such possibilities. The fact that it's not 100% certain that GGG won't be fired if grouped is whats wronf withe the federation.

1) There was ZERO USMNT Momentum. 2) Max calling Weah “average” is his showing his anger, but bringing in Wright on the left and moving Pulisic to the right will likely be a step up from what we’ve seen recently. 3) Agree that the collision with Turner was not a foul. 4) Gregg’s lack of proper reactions to the goal following Weah’s red card was as bad as Weah’s card. 5) Panama AND Canada should reach the quarterfinals, but we shall see. 6) Gregg is not good. I am not being paid to cover soccer, so I can say it. Gregg has never been a good manager. Yes, Gregg has trophies, but Gregg is not good.

Okay with withdrawing, but not a 5-3-1. 4-4-1 would have been better.

Idk but i feel like reyna should be playing a center forward, dont think he should be a 7, maybe that's just me and pepi i feel would be more effective in the midfield

I'm tired of everyone putting the full blame on Weah. If the USMNT was as good as everyone seems to think they are, they should have beaten Panama with 10 players. They took the lead with only 10 players. GGG's "play for the tie" tactics and horrible substitutions, and the players lack poor performances (except for Balogun) are just as much to blame. Don't go touting how good this USMNT is then blame one player for the loss.

Tonight isn't totally on Berhalter it's probably about 70/30 on Tim Weah, but this is the 2nd time in recent times where you've gone down to 10 men and Berhalter had no real plan (its why i say 70/30), yes its mostly on Tim Weah, you could argue other players were poor too, it was a dreadful performance all around

Hi, Max... first time that I happen to run into your channel. I'm a Panamanian football fan and I'm just drinking YouTubber tears after our win today. Your channel has provided plenty and I'm hardly thirsty after watching and listening to your analysis. I want to tell you right off the bat that I strongly disagreed with your decision to whack Tony Montana. I think it was worthy that you both had a sitdown and figured out a way to broaden the drug empire from Bolivia with Tony's assistance. Anyhow, I doubt that the best strategy for the U.S. was to bunker on their own side of the pitch, hoping to at least get a point. The U.S. is simply not used to having to play that way (like the Paraguay 1998 World Cup team, for example). Yeah, Weah chose the wrong time to act like an idiot but Concacaf's "stud" had to find a way to pick him up.

Panama played a physical but the referee, killed the United States tho.

You are wrong Breto! Where is the improvement in 5 years?

So tired of having a shit coach. Gregg out now!!

3G has to go.

Gregg DOES have a share of thr blame! Dumb subs, bunker down for a draw at home vs. Panama 🇵🇦? Take out Gio? Use a hold-up forward (Pepi) when transition offense was needed?

You’re right to be angry at Weah for the red card and he is at fault for this game. but it’s 100 percent wrong and revisionist history to act like he hasn’t been one of our most consistent performers over the past 3 years. Much more consistently than two of the other guys you named(Balo, Gio)

Put it this way Panama sucks so bad I would expect any other top team in concembol being down 1-2 men to still beat them. This shows poor coaching and poor talent from the us I mean Panama is a concaf bottom feeder

This falls on Tim’s idiocy, but let’s not forget who is at the helm. You think he does this crap with a disciplinarian in charge? By the way, been awhile since I said you look just like Rob Dickinson of Catherine Wheel. Don’t you agree?? Mention me please in your podcasts!!

Few months ago I explained you in details why ALL CONCACAF TEAMS ARE CRAP and what you have done? You didn't delete my comment. You deleted the whole video! And uploaded it again 5 minutes later. Anyways, you are right. Canada will get grouped as well, just like Mexico and USA. And of course Costa Rica don't have a chance.

Fire Gregg

I love you guys, but you have all, from Tac to Max to 11 to BroccoliKids, all been praising McKennie and Weah and Reynolds and Richards and Scally and these BUMS. Reyna. Pulisic Aronson Aronson De le Torre Cowell 4 defenders and a keeper. That 4 4 2 is better than all the crap of GGG. It was not hard. No losing at home in the group to Panama is not how Bad We Were. We were far better Then. The other countries also modernized and coalesced to money chance of careers in football.

I think 11Yanks was right about u lol.. I’m sorry man been long time subscriber but that’s a horrible take.. how are u still defending Berhalter?

I know you are trying to be optimistic about the situation but reality we are screwed. This was a must win game and US fell short. There is no evidence this team will beat Uruguay nor tie them. Let be real this team in last five years is not good enough. Yes, these players in Europe and play well with their clubs. Hell we have a Champion league winner on this squad. But when it comes to country, these is mid at best. It’s time to fire the coach and get break this group of players up. This is not good enough. How long do you fans to keep spend their hard earn money and value time watching this mess? If Greg still have a job on Monday night after Uruguay beat the mess out of us, I am done supporting USMNT.

I have it on good advice that you shouldn’t listen to this guy.😊😊😊

Max the players are a fault yes. But who holds them accountable? The answer is the coach. The team has played worse not better in the past 2 years

It’s also on Berhalter, not just Weah. You’re delusional of you think he’s solely to blame.

Lol y wen usa lose lose people get surprised no usa people say this

Dude, I’ve tried watching you several times, but your analyses kind of suck.

Uruguay very "beatable", WTF are you talking about?! Do you even know their players? Did you know that Bielsa, their couch, could be, easily, one the top 3 best managers/strategists in the world. I am sorry, but you have no f... clue about football! Come one, go ahead and analyze some NFL and shit like that...

All I've got to say: play dumb games, win dumb prizes. The US is 100% getting grouped. I've been warning people about it for 6 months and have been treated as a joke for saying it. I have no sympathy for the state of the US. In 2030 or 2034, when you get your wish and the core is back in MLS, the US will not qualify again for the World Cup and it'll be back to square 1. I'll be treated like a joke for that but in 6 or 10 years when people like you are still blaming players for results and not the coaching and the system itself, I'll be on here to tell you 4 words: I told you so.

You spoke to coaches…who also suck. GGG is terrible and everybody knows it, OG status removed from your name. OG to you means ONLY GREGG. You my friend are wasting your time trying to intellectualize what you can clearly see if you watch the games. Yes Weah fucked up but we still go up 1-0. Obviously we CAN attack with 10 men. Watch the game and report on that

Is it not Gregg's job to coach players not to make stupid rash decisions? Is it not his job to have effective tactics when going down to 10 men? Obfuscation and lack of taking responsibility

Great news

Fox was giddy about the players dancing during warm up. That’s all you need to know about the problems with this team. Time to get serious, and time to establish consequences for poor performances.
