Caught Offside: USMNT ARE OUT OF COPA AMERICA REACTION POD 

We don’t score in transition but have players that do that at club. Also GGG was fired from hammerby in Sweden for a lack of final third ideas. Players are being blamed but we evidence of the players doing better without him but a lack of proof of GGG producing without them.

did JJ buy his USMNT rainbow kit yet?

Please keep uploading full episodes to YT! I like to listen to the pod while im smoking and working out, and then I like to watch the pod when Im at home just relaxing. The best of both worlds!!

It’s always been about the scoring. “We got this young talent Pepi guy!” He doesn’t fix the scoring. “We got Balogun!” He doesn’t fix our issues. Same problems throughout all of GGG’s tenure that we have been trying and wishing to fix.

In a game where we really needed to counter Bielsas’ press, Gregg moved Gio to the Wing. It’s not like McKennie has been playing well at all, so we had no one in the middle that could carry the ball forward or play any line breaking passes. I think the big issue isn’t just that this team can’t score, it’s that the coach actively makes decisions that hurts the team.

McKennie, Musah, and Robison fewer passes than Matt Turner yesterday. Gio only had 29 the same as him! That says it all

We are pathetic

I feel like this generation just lacks that grit we’ve seen from past generations of this squad and that’s on GGG and the players the quality is there but man watching them feels like watching complacent football

I nominate Willy Sagnol. Im a dual national, French American, and im a fan of his style and how he coaches. He also speaks really good english which i believe is the bare minimum requirement for the job.

Carly Loyd is right, these guys are obviously too comfortable, they are ok with mediocrity, they instantly forgive themselves for poor performances and show that they have no one giving them the tutoring in getting better which all falls on the coaching who created and allows that environment. When I was in basic training and all my duty stations I hated my leadership, but I'm am thankful looking back for all those struggles and consequences when we messed up, it taught us to work together, get things right (which was more just trying to avoid what would happen if even one person messed something up), discipline, self motivation, leadership. No one has the any motivation to do better when there are no consequences when it comes to the failures. All of this is just one part of what's wrong with this team right now.... It's not just one thing but you have to fix the biggest problem first and it is blatantly obvious the biggest problem is Berhalter

I’ve never understood the Reyna hype. He plays good occasionally for us but doesn’t play anywhere else.

We completely disagree. The people who watched with me and I agree that the camera angle was great. It's one of the reasons why I enjoy live games. That view to see everything that is going on.

Gregg did NOT earn ANYTHING to get that 2nd contract. Nothing! I’m sure you’re going to champion beating terrible MEXICO…meanwhile Panama has become the giant in Concacaf. If you couldn’t see this coming two years ago. I can’t help you ! Many of us saw this coming. And thank god it happened now because people like you would have wanted him till 2026. His style is awful. He’s playing players out of position. Crosses to no one and lack of focus and discipline. I saw it way back against Holland. It should have been his last game!!!

This team is a joke let’s be honest. The entire USMNT structure needs to change let’s get some talent from the inner city instead of these soft prep school boys.

I was never a Berhalter out guy, but these performances were not good enough. No tactical nuance, no creativity, and the substitution decisions were baffling. Gregg’s got to go. I’m just not sure who we could even get to replace him.

Take a big step back.. realistically the USMNT is top 30 in team rankings and honestly that seems about right. IF the American pundits realized this then bowing out at the COPA group stage becomes much more reasonable. And it is. You have teams that squeaked through and those that didn't. The margin for error is miniscule, and yes, an errant red card can change your fortunes in an instant. Chile and Peru are likely out because of it. Canada is in because of it. Yes, all of those teams have talent. So what? I'm not saying things don't need to be reflected on (they do), but for all intents and purposes, there was nothing the USMNT had before COPA that had me believing that they were a shoe in to advance. In fact, the only team that was, was probably Argentina, and maybe Colombia. Overall though, I thought the US played well. Weah's red card was what killed it. So focus on that and move on.

US Soccer screwed themselves. They won’t be able to afford a top notch coach because they have to pay the women’s coach an equal increase.

USMNT fans are an awful fanbase. They kinda deserve this. BTW, you support Tottingham(?) but you're from the U.S. (I assume), what's the story behind that? Do you support any Domestic League team from your own country?
