Jurgen Klopp sends a message to U.S. 👀 Should the USMNT go all-in to hire him? | Futbol Americas 

Kasey is the embodiment of the US Soccer mentality that got us to where we are. He’s an “I can’t because…” guy, not a “How can I…” guy.

Seb and herc, you guys are absolute legends, keep pressuring us soccer your voices are much louder than you think

If by keller's argument that gregg is the best we can afford, then it's time to disband the USSF...

Keller just sounds like a guy that wants to keep his friends at the federation, ugh. Props to Sebi and Herc for saying it how it is. This federation needs to be held accountable.

Kasey Keller sounds like a politician. Always trying to protect his boys at USSF

Uruguay with the population of 3.4 million could afford to pay bielsa 12 million usd but the richest nation in the world with 100 times the population can't afford to pay Klopp the same thing or even more is absurd, Kasey

The problem is the United States Soccer Federation. They hired Berhalter for the second time and expected something different. When they hired him the first time, he did nothing.

Casey Keller might as well join the USSF. He totally sounds like them!

Sign him and I promise you more Americans will come to love soccer

My boy Sebas calling USA soccer out I love it!

Keller wants to keep us down. Must be getting a kick back from the federation. Espn cut his salary and add it towards hiring a real coach!

For Klopp, equal pay is not in the equation. The guys value is actually that higherr than almost any coach. Your paying for something rare.

Jurgen Klopp eats a hamburger in an In-n-out in California. US Media: "Jurgen is interesting in joining US national team!"

Does Casey think he's providing the voice of reason?

Klopp would revolutionise American football. He is unbelievable.

The fact that gender debate is being shoehorned into this is absolutely ridiculous.

As German, as long as it is not England. I am ok. However, Klopp is a top manager but the US Team is just mediocre right now and in near future. Pellegrino Matarazzo is may a better fit. Solid Bundesliga manager and American.

Look no one thought Messi would come here. Klopp could actually bring the potential out of this squad that, individually, mostly play abroad in Europe

Blank just donated $50M to build a training center in Atlanta. You’re crazy if you think we can’t come up with the funds to hire Klopp

Bro I love that Seb & Herc are feeling what the soccer culture feels cause we don't want the US to end up like Mexico and Mexico is a Concacaf Titan despite their current standing.

Keller is talking like an idiot. The whole equal pay issue came from the women's team players. Do you think the women's players are going to get upset because the men's team brings in Klopp, or some other big name coach they have to pay a lot for? Especially when the women get more money when the men's team makes more money.

Guardiola and Klopp?! These guys are delusional! I'm American, but there is no way coaches of that caliber in their prime will ever take on any national team, let alone USMNT. They need to look at countries like Japan, Croatia, Senegal, Turkey, etc. that typically do well to get out of groups and into quarters, or on rare occasions, semis of international tournaments. And then see what they do in terms of coaching recruitment. You have to learn to walk before you can run! And the biggest elephant in the room - why is grassroots football so horribly over-priced and low quality in this country? The biggest stars all over the world have come from the favelas, barrios, shantys, slums, etc. There is a reason why 'street football' is the best place for kids to learn the beautiful game and hone their craft. The 'club' football scene in this country is just a money-grab operation run by a bunch of grifters. The coaching, the philosophy, everything about it is second-rate. It's astonishing that despite having such a large amount of youth playing football in this country that the talent isn't coming to the surface. The biggest reason is sub-par coaching that emphasizes physicality over actual technical skills and intelligence. Some of the best players, throughout the history of the game, are not physically dominant specimens - Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, Makalele, Kante, Greizmann, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, the list goes on!

Fun fact: Of all the USMNT coaches in history (who coached for more than one year i.e. coaches of any consequence) Berhalter has the HIGHEST winning percentage . That belng said I think we should go with Klopp.

So sick and tired of hearing about the women’s team!!! We are supposed to be discussing the men’s coach here, but the salary of the womens coach keeps coming up?? This country is pathetic.

No one praise "equal pay".

The lawsuit is irrelevant. The judge smacked down the law suit. The law suit made no sense. It makes no sense for a group of people to make a walled off garden and say "you can't come in but we must make the same amount of money as you." The men's team and women's team operate in two different worlds. They bring in different amounts of money. The economic realities of what it takes to hire the best coaches is completely different. Linking them is nothing but extortion by the women players and virtue signalling by everyone else. It was just virtue signalling by the men's team and by USSF that they caved to the extortion.

Keller sucks get him off

This highlights the problem with combining men's and women's sports in any way, even financially. It would be like combining high school and D1 college sports, they are world's apart.

It would be awesome to get a legend like Jurgen Klopp as the US men's national team coach. I don't see any american coaches taking this team to the next level. Just my opinion.

Keller wants to be a director of USSF so hard. He is such a politician

All Klopp's tweet said was a basic happy 4th of July message and mentioned his travels in America with LFC . This is delusional and a joke. Jurgen already made it VERY CLEAR he's taking a long sabbatical before he even considers coaching again. He's not going to change his mind.

Emma Hayes is the best women's coach available. The men should be equal and also get the best available

Please for the love of God understand that a manager won’t change the fundamental things wrong with the USSF. Unless you don’t fire him like you did to Jurgen who was right. All the money you talk about needs to go to building pitches, unlocking goals in the off-season, improved infrastructure, coach education, creating creative players who have emotional intelligence and won’t punch someone in the back of the head.

They are interviewing him as of now 😂

Yes they absolutely should’ve have him as the official announce within in the next 3-4 weeks max!

i just can't see a guy used to The Kop and the yellow wall managing a team where to fans sing " i believe we can win, i believe we can win! "

For me, it's time to go all out, the US needs to capitalize on this sutuation. This can make up for the 1932 debacle when the 3rd place 1930 US World Cup team could not put the sport on the US map when the sport was removed from the 1932 LA Olympic Games. If US Soccer wants to take this sport to another level they MUST succeed in the next WC here in the US in 2026. We need a great coach that fits the chemisty of the team, and that has already coached our two best players, a coach that thinks outside the box. That coach is Jurgen Klopp (he has coached both Pulesic and Gio Reyna at Borussia Dortmund). Come on US Soccer lets get the best man for the job and happens to be available...like NOW!!!

They did give Emma Hayes equal pay. What company hires someone else in another department and then has to match that salary for another person in a different department? Emma Hayes is still the highest paid woman coach in soccer.

Thank you Seb for pressuring those in the fed that have power to make a change

USA is literally holding a World cup and the future of USA soccer ZERO excuse not getting Klopp if you can

I wrote a comment yesterday suggesting that the US should go after Jürgen Klopp or Tuchel.

This is utterly delusional.

Why the f would Klopp do that? American broadcasters live in another reality, it's like a third division club from Argentina trying to hire him, same level of football too. He would never do that to his career.

I have no idea if Klopp in particular is interested or not, but it's funny that people are convinced no big coach would take the job. If the money is there they certainly will. Why wouldn't they? It's a unique opportunity to coach a huge and rich country where soccer is growing in popularity at a home world cup which will be the largest, highest attended, and most financially successful world cup in history. There's a good group of players who aren't world beaters but who have the possibility to make a decent run in the tournament. A strong showing could propel the coach to recognition in the US for years to come. It would be a feather in any coach's cap, even if just from a financial point of view. The thing is USSF doesn't really want to do it. They don't want to wrangle up the money and they don't really want a foreign coach.

I mean Keller is not wrong in terms of what rules are in place, but that rule is awful. I disagree with him saying we can’t blow any budget. There are some times you risk at all

You’re insane if you think he’d do that and not managed the German national team

If US Soccer is serious about 2026, they’ve got a lot to change. Copa has been a fiasco. Hiring a real manager is high priority but not their biggest worry. The match at arrowhead was a joke

As a Liverpool person Klopp would consider it, money and lifestyle (he likes the US) and a new challenge, however it is far too early..another year perhaps.

I dream that one day the USSF will hire Carlo Ancelotti as the coach of the national team. But, you know... The budget, divided...

It will be worth it even if only to get out of group play. If USMNT doesn’t get out of the group stage with the expanded format, it will be a total nightmare. Tell the billionaire MLS owners to chip in 1M per for the coach.

The idea that equal pay is even a discussion is a joke. The women lost their lawsuit because they literally got paid more than the men if you factor in the benefits they collectively bargained for, and they were offered the same deal as the men. How about we discuss “equal” pay when women’s sports generate “equal” revenue. So laughable that Keller is even defending this.

Many coaches wanted the USMNT job because it is marquee because its the biggest country in the world. And if he does the bare basic he will be praised and doesnt have to worry about being fired or huge backlash or hate. It makes sense Klopp goes to England and underperforms people are saying fire him or hes awful and gets death threats and etc. USMNT job is likely one of the best jobs off that alone. You have no pressure youre in CONCACF its an easy win to least make finals. You might occasionally go to Copa America tbh even with Greg coaching they wouldve advanced if not for Weah red card. So I disagree with people USMNT is a marquee job you get to relax no hate or threats no ones saying fire you. And you have a decent talent pool of players that will potentially be growing.

Coaching a national team sounds very attractive for Klopp, BUT I doubt he’d take it.

The funny part is the yanks call the English media and fans delusional. Klopp at the USA team ahahaha

We need this guy, he can make a better team, better players. He can elevate they team to The next level both mentally and physically. But it Will need to work a program for at least 4 years. He can not makes miracles in 2 years.

As an half American Klopp is way too good to coach USMNT

Throw equality out the door first then worry about another coach.

The USSF CBA is, in FACT, holding the USMNT back!

There isn’t a single person walking the earth I would rather have over Klopp. You move heaven and earth to make him our manager for the world cup!!!

Klopp is definitely flirting

How much money the federation giving Kasey under the table to say all that?

Somebody tell Keller to shut up. As far as Klopp goes, I wouldn’t mind if the US hired him.

IF Klopp wanted to manage USMNT getting sponsors $$$$would be a non-issue. He would be a rock star day 1. Keller tap dancing around the pay question is hilarious. Trying to say the $$$ isn’t there due to equal pay on the women’s side. Anything is possible with creative forward thinking leadership.

Jurgen Klopp recognizes the potential of the USMNT and smells an opportunity to grow his own brand. Get more corporate sponsorship and the budget will not be the problem; the problem will only be the short-sightedness and limited imagination of the USMNT administration that thought rehiring Berhalter was a great idea.

If USSF doesn’t get rid of Greg the men’s team is gonna be a joke.

Klopp will really bring something special to Team US if he's the Coach.

They should offer Klopp a blank check. Seriously.

where there's a will there's a way

I wouldn't be surprised, Klopp is a great businessman in cooperations with german brands, behold if he taps into the US market

Not a chance on Earth a top quality coach from Europe would ever want to come to the US for the current standards of soccer in the U.S. you're dreaming about how attractive that could ever be when he plays and coaches amongst the best there is around. Besides, you guys are so loud and full of yourselves, he couldn't stand the bravado.

This is for all you U.S. soccer fans who don’t know much about soccer other than following the US mens national team.. if the US national team was to pull in Klopp that would completely change the landscape and I do believe it will launch the U.S. national team into crazy new heights. I personally would love to see Klopp coach the U.S national team.

Women’s charter wants equity not equality.

If Klopp became the USMNT manager, that would be on the same level of Messi coming to the MLS

Klopp would never take a pay cut to coach the USMNT. Idk why this is a story.

They expect us to rah rah the good ol’ USMNT team onto our guaranteed R16 elimination game as a host nation. nah you jaded old fools, the American public isn’t stupid when it comes to this sport anymore. They see the best soccer on a regular basis, they know their NT doesn’t play that brand of soccer, and until we see that brand of soccer. No one is going to care. I haven’t cared since Greg was first hired the first time, and I expect nothing until we have a quality coach that will keep these divas in check

Kasey really turning into the old man “get off my lawn” he doesn’t seem to want to be open to any idea that breaks away from the old standard. Hate to break it to you buddy, it’s 2024, your team doesn’t need to be top 10 in the world to be “marquee” IF you have someone like Jurgen on your touch line. His name alone will draw more eyes. Don’t need to be great to get views anymore

USSF will never relinquish the control that JK would want.

They hired Greg cheaply: one million a year

As an Englishman, we tried foreign management and it failed miserably. That said, we have a different standard of the game vs the US and I think you could greatly benefit from having an influence from a more established nations manager. Whoever that may be - you can certainly afford them.

Wish keller would hurry tf up and make his point

who else is tired of Kaseys pragmatism

So was the final word that we should pay him a ton of money because the US doesn’t care enough about soccer to keep him accountable after yelling, “we need to hold the US coach accountable” for years now?

Does the USSF want to win?

hiring Klopp would bring MILLIONS of viewer /supporters

Keller is right about the pay. It doesn't matter what contract you think you signed because the women can come back in 5 years or 10 years and sue for discrimination. They already did that once.

If my taxes went to the usmnt I’d actually pay them

That woman knows nothing about men’s soccer.

Klopp would make huge in endorsements in the states and the owner of Atlanta united gave the USSF 50 million of his own money to them im sure others would pitch in for Klopp like Canada did for marsh

Ah the continued delusional arrogance of American sports media to think klopp would even consider taking this job 😂😂😂

Seb and Herc are the best in the business. They've been holding Berhalter and US Soccer accountable from the beginning

Just have Biden write a check. He throws money to other countries 😂

I heard a rumor that Luka is joining Alba Berlin next season. He likes Europe

Jobs too big for him, upcoming World Cup host, golden generation we need a top level manager that can handle that pressure

_"…one bad game, and you throw all out the window?"_ German phrase about that "only one game"-thing: _"Der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen brachte!"_

USMNT selecting Klopp is like having a Bielsa technically

Usa gets klopp, our entire youth system will get better. Hes not just a coach but a revolution.

Klopp seems to be a man of character and values and as a "soccering"nation we have none of those. We are more concerned with making money in our youth programs than truly building a culture. Klopp's tweet is not a hint that he would be interested in coaching in America.

I like Seb being prickly. It keeps people honest.

Equal pay is the dumbest thing ever. Why should a USWNT coach get the same pay as Klopp? Massive difference in marketability and experience

Beautifully said Seb. When they know they’re going to be pressured, they don’t show face. Pathetic cowards
