How did Gregg Berhalter retain the USMNT job & is it a good move? 🇺🇸🤔 

perfectly said.....they talk about next level yet let politics keep us in mediocrity =(

politics and also through nepotism as Gregg was hired last cycle with his brother Jay's influence

Top level coaches coach professional teams where they get paid more. National team coaches are mediocre... usually...

USA Soccer. Don't make waves. Don't underperform. Stick to the system. When there is no excitement or no highlights,vfall back on the fact that you performed according to the FIFA rankings, Yayyy!!! We proved that we can get out of the group stage by scoring 2 goals in 3 games. We squeezed our butt cheeks so tight that we were able to beat Iran 1-0. Amazing coaching, amazing tacticts, and we got through the group stage. Boring to watch. No creativity. Not playing your best talent. Keep everyone within the system and within GGG's locus of control. And show everyone how you are a team that can be above average. Take a chance if you are %100 sure of the outcome. If we tweak the system we could win a game in the group stage one day But look how we beat a depleted Mexico and won the final against Canada, who had nobody in their bracket in the Nations League. Embarrassing that claiming victory in CONCACAF has any significance to anyone besides non-soccer fans in the USA. Nobody in the top 20 teams in the world feels threatened by the USA team. The only anxiety we cause is the embarrassment that would follow from losing to the USA because we are boring and uncreative and any team that sticks to their tactics and allows their players to express their indivuality and talent will beat the USA, just as it says on paper. 2 goals in 3 games? Forget how boring the games were, forget how our best talent wasn't on the field, and look at how we were only one of 16 teams to get this far. Depth and talent would help but belief and creativity is something a manager could actually help with. Berhalter isn't taking the USA to the next level and he isn't interested in creating exciting soccer. Just keeping the boat from rocking and making sure nothing goes wrong.Boring to watch or get excited about.

Paul Tenorio sounds like a propaganda machine

Disagree. They are still playing Berhalter's style through his assistant. Berhalter is stable and is likely to get the team through qualification again.

@@mattsmith1126 ? this was NOTHING like Berhalter's style.

@@mattsmith1126 No they are not. They play freely and Gregg restricts that free flow of style. Pay more attention.

@@mattsmith1126 What planet do you live on?

@@mattsmith1126 also there is no "qualification", we're hosting the damn thing. Do you even watch soccer?

He’s like Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers at this point lol always comes back for the sequel

I mean theres literally nobody else thats worth getting that would want this job.

@@lostagain7292 idk ask the guy that won 3-0 if he wants the job lol

Interés conflict, his brother work with US SOCCER 🙄🙄

@@lostagain7292 Jesse Marsch took RB Leipzig to the UCL

Of course those players said that. They aren't smart enough to have a player strike, and don't want to be seen as "negative".

The team just destroyed our biggest rival, and you think it's embarrassing? The best thing can't also be the worst thing.

@@stevenygabbyperez695 the win isn't embarrassing. Hiring GGG is embarrassing. We just sacrificed our future while destroying our arch rival in the same night...

@Aaron Silver I am not so pessimistic. The players wanted him, let them have him, but it better be a 2 year deal, and if the squad stop improving, then they must go with a different coach. My feeling is that we have never had a better national team. I'm not going to let this keep me from enjoying the ext 4 years. I know people get crazy with Greg but it could be much worse. Look at England.

I strongly believe this USA team will never win the big tournaments. The mentality is not good. They treat football only as a business. The fact that you did not want to seek a proven manager in the men’s game because of how the women team would feel about the salary difference says it all. I can assure you England women coach does not get pay the same as Gareth and he has not won anything. I’m sorry it’s just different demands. You have people who watch every single men tournament games like me but I only see the final of the woman game. The football is totally different. Not very appealing. The football at the recent U20 World Cup is even better than the women’s World Cup. If we want parity, let’s set every single national teams men vs women best of three and see who wins

Corruption within US Soccer

@@Lawlzinator Absolutely

I mean I'm a fan and I'm cool with it

MLS wants to use the '26 WC to market the league and its players. Expect 2/3 of the '26 roster to be MLS.

@@todwest I highly doubt that my guy lol

He's like a walking manifestation of how we wound up with Wondolowski in Brazil

Do bounce passes and good shoe game count?

That was not keeping it real. When they asked him if he would have gone with Gregg, he folded 😅.

@@optimus3841 Yes of course he folded. Needs that income

You don't have to. At this point, there are two options. Make peace with the fact that the players you love, love Berhalter, and demanded he come back... or stop following USMNT. No matter what happens, the next 4 years will be the most successful in USMNT history. It would be a shame to miss that because you don't like the coach.

​@@stevenygabbyperez695what? You think the players will say anything bad about GB and dont expect retaliation frm GB if he is the coach? GB is too rigid in his thoughts.

@v a Bro, you have entered into delusional conspiracy land. You really think Greg Berhalter is some criminal master mind that has brainwashed and intimidated the players to pretend they like him? Doesn't that sound crazy to you?

Is this Daniele Reyna's burner account?

@@jspring9588 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah and GB’s system was implemented 😂 His hard work developing this team is finally starting to show.

Loved Roy Keane but not your comment - what you saw last night was the 'result' of Berhalter.

​@@K_Kealohathe fast free flowing soccer isn't his system 😂

I hope we go out in the group stage in '26. Abject humiliation might be the only way to break the MLS stranglehold on USSF.

​@@K_Kealoha that's not his system bro. They team did none of the garbage he tried to teach them.

Of course players are going to say bring back GB. If the players say "hell no," then GB comes back, GB will retaliate.

I agree but the players want him back and they have spoke out about it many times. Also, There’s no denying that he has one of the best records of any USA coach. So despite the gio situation, it’s best to do what makes the squad happy and the squad wants him back.

@@camerongutierrez6425they don’t want him back though

@@Number1Camper not tryna argue, but wasn’t there a interview with pulisic where he said he was confused why GB was let go and wanted him rehired?

gio reyna is shite

You are aware he already took them into knockouts right? lol

@@seed.planted in very weak group , you really think wales and iran were great sides ? Both have dropped in form . Bales was already in decline . Iran had fired the coach a few months before the tournament. Canada convincingly beat the US team under Gregg 4-0 during WC qualifying. A declined Mexico was top of the US in group standings . Next World Cup , most teams will get stronger, England, Brazil ,France, Germany , Spain, Italy, Japan , Korea and of course African nations will be much stronger . Maybe Argentina and Croatia will be weaker .

​@@seed.planted yet they barely made it past the group stage. The US didn't score and their play style was stiff and that's why Netherlands beat them. Just getting to past the group stage is not enough.

The day? It came out basically at game time.

It wasn’t US Soccer’s announcement, it was him making a report (or leak).

@@mattduell3 and who do you think leaked it to him ?

I laughed when I read your comment because I was thinking the same thing. That guy was all about keeping his access and did everything to defend the terrible decision to bring back Greg.

@@NoName-wg6ip and it's just so blatantly obvious!

But they want a coach that can guarantee a huge payday for MLS in '26. That's what this is about.

@@todwest Yup. Were going to hear, "MLS coach yada yada history, on the World Cup stage"

They want a coach who will wear rainbow flags and BLM shirts. That is 100% Gregg Buttfucker. It is 100% NOT Jose Mourinho, who was interested in the job.

I miss those days too! Nothing like an away draw against a vastly inferior opponent.

Wow! I thought it was Berhalter’s perplexing roster selections with Lletget/Roldán/Farreira/Long/Morris and his capricious nature…

Really looking forward the the '26 roster and its mostly MLS makeup. MLS and USSF are all one big happy family, after all.

@@sheldoninst : You're not being entirely fair to Gregg. He's very religious. So you can't blame him if he thought Jesus would save the team.

Yeah I completely agree.. today’s game was disgusting. We scored a bunch of goals and had an attacking presence all game. Good thing we getting Greggy back

36 years for me.

Same. Time to root against them in the hope a five game losing streak will end Gregg Buttfucker’s career. Lose the battle to win the war.

In fact, he does. I had avenues to know intimate details about virtually any American in my previous vocation. Just for shits and giggles, I looked up Tenorio. He literally cashes checks from US Soccer.

Don’t forget Gyasi Zardes will somehow playb

Source please?

Maybe they can find a spot for Altidore as well!

Wow, what a silly comment... Berhalter will put the best players on the roster - Morris and Ferrera will have aged out because remember that we're still 3 years away from the WC.

@@tomdempsey8818 This WC is an opportunity the MLS to market itself on the global stage. I guarantee you that the '26 roster will be mostly MLS players, probably something like 2/3. Greggggg will do what is best for MLS's bottom line.

Bob Bradley got bounced from third division English soccer and was fired from the Egypt job... You can't be serious...

@@mattsmith1126 I’m not going to disagree on those facts but Gregg Berhalter vs Bob Bradley USMNT Managerial Campaign… not even a contest. Bradley had more success and did better than the Jurgen Klinsman and it was a hypothetical suggestion if they were to bring someone back from a previous gig. Was not to be taken serious lol! Berhalter had his chance and showed he can’t do much with the amount of talent @ hand plus the weird internal beef seems extremely conflicting.

@@consumeboxing World soccer has advanced allot and Bob Bradley is not a serious candidate anymore. He can't even get a low level job at the moment and we are looking for a top-level manager.

This USMNT somehow finished lower than 2014 USMNT in qualifying

He actually works for US Soccer on the sly.

The entire mentality of this man's philosophy. Absolute clown shown; we deserve all the misery we will witness with this man in charge

He’s a hell of a coach but when you watch the way the US play (especially last night) the wings are so important. Hiring a coach who plays with no wingers wouldn’t fit this team.

Just when I thought he was out, they pull him back in.

They don’t want to pay the men’s coach 10x more than the women’s coach. The last sexual discrimination lawsuit almost bankrupted them.

They don’t have the funds for that, Ussoccer is low key broke haha.

It’s why the women got a pittance in the first place.

Worst take ever. So are WNBA coaches now making Phil Jackson money? This is horrible

For Attention

Word ….. Wtf this dude talking about lol 😂
