USMNT CRASH OUT of Copa America | USA v Uruguay instant reaction & recap | Call It What You Want 

McBride is too connected to the US soccer admins to be too critical of tactics and Greg, you played a defensive midfield in a game where you needed to score

Brian is such a company man, out here defending Greg and Shaq nah

I will not watch another USMNT match with Berhalter as manager.

Brian looks like someone who has to triple check everything he says to make sure he doesn't say the wrong thing. Love him as a player, but has been a terrible pundit. Speak your mind Brian.

Appreciate Charlie's passion for this team and calling it like it is, this is one of the worst moments for the US in a long time.

we haven't beaten a Top Team with Berhalter in charge for 6 years. Arena beat Portugal, and Klinsman beat Germany and got us to a Copa Semi Final with a worse team. Greggs gotta go.

Brian has lost his mind (in reference to the Shaq Moore thing).

Average Joe Scally has been one of our best players this tournament. I know he's not Dest but that's what I like about him. He knows that and we gotta stop asking him to be Dest when Joe's consistently good at what he does. Individual brilliance has carried us thus far but this is not a team. These players have no discomfort and no challenge with their current situation in the NT and it shows. Predictable all around, no consequences, no accountability, and that starts with the manager. Gregg Out.

Love you McBride and I know you're trying to keep a level head but you never nitpick Tony like this when he makes critiques - it's because Gregg is in the hot seat isn't it?

I love how Charlie is not afraid to keep it real

McBride says absolutely nothing when he talks. Clearly still a Federation guy.

The funny thing about listening to U.S. analysts is that they don't realize how they sound after being grouped. They keep looking down on teams that competed better than them and insist on the "great talent" that their team supposedly has. What they don't know is that they're like the suckers playing poker. When you sit down at the poker table and you can't tell who the sucker is, that means you're the sucker. When the Copa America draw went down, everyone wanted to be in the same group as the U.S. to avoid having Argentina, Brazil or even Mexico as group headliners. This means that Uruguay, Panamá and Bolivia were ecstatic to be in a group with the weakest "top team" out of the 4 groups.

And that is the problem with the US. They completely and arrogantly dismiss the so called weaker teams. When you constantly underestimate your opponent you are bound to lose. That Panama team is actually good. A much better team than what the USA currently has.

Canada and Panama made it out of the group stages, but we can't with our "Golden Generation"?!? This is embarrassing. This team is no where near their hype, I don't care about any excuses.

Hey Brian that's my guy. Appreciate you and my brother Jay hiring me for the job the first time B McDizzle. Oh and can't forget my main man Earnie. You see what he did at PSV this past season? He always lands on his feet though, so nothing surprises me anymore with Stew.

Balogun was finally playing up to his potential which was encouraging. Definitely felt for him and respected that he tried to play through it

McBride with too many hits to his head in regards to Shaq.... it didn't even have to be Shaq, could have been Bryan Reynolds... did he not watch the World Cup and how insanely infeffective Shaq was...? Also, how does McBride give GGG a rating of 5...? Good lord...

Jesse Marsch has been coaching Canada for 2 months helps them qualify to the round with a team with much less talent. While Gregg Berhalter has been coaching the US for 6 years and has a much better team gets the teamed grouped .

Charlie, your 3 rating for Greg is spot on. Berhalter was awful. Seriously, 3 strikers are never going to equal goals. We need creators to get it to the finishers. To gut the midfield ( creators,) to bring in finishers= no goals. Gregg is a awful. And honestly, to contemplate bringing on Shaq moore is a fire-able offense.

Great American soccer hero ChristianPulisic #10 for giving every bit of his soul to American soccer fans. We love you!

I love Brian but saying to look past the Panama defeat is bs. Gregg sh!t the bed with those halftime changes. If he would have dont that immediately, I would have understood, but we had the better chances at the end of the first half. We went against our identity as a team by going into defensive shell for the very first time.

Did Brian really EXPECT the SEMIFINALS?!?! (What??) Absolutely no one else I have read or watched expected “the semifinals”. I felt like there was a 25% chance that we’d get grouped and that the USMNT was more likely to get grouped than go to the semis, but virtually everyone I read/heard EXPECTED to get knocked out in the quarterfinals. Nothing this team has shown would make one think that this team was going to perform when it mattered.

You guys make this a great show! Thank you!

In order for soccer in the United States to develop, it needs to integrate with Latin America. American clubs need to compete in the Libertadores, so the domestic level of the players will improve, the level of competitiveness and the experience in the sport will be shared. The culture of the Libertadores represents the entire American continent, since we were all freed from European colonizers. The Libertadores means liberators, just like those who gave freedom to the United States. In terms of business, it would be great, because it would combine the business capacity of Americans with the culture of South American soccer. Then we would have a product as good and attractive as the UEFA CL. With the right investments, many young players would have the option of playing for clubs in the United States, receiving competitive salaries. Therefore, I think we should make efforts for this integration and leave this "Eurocentrism" behind. Given the current geopolitical situation, it makes more sense for the United States to integrate with Latin America in a healthier and better relationship for everyone.

Charlie is the only one keeping it real. Everyone else is being soft. Don't want to cause any waves. Don't want to say that GGG needs to go. But HE NEEDS TO GO!

It's always a blessing to see you guys, especially after this result. Thanks for uploading🙏

As a USMNT supporter, Charlie Davis represents me! Preach it sir.

How is he actually still defending Shaq Moore.. Jesus.. I'm done listening to these clowns.

Why not just admit this generation of players are largely a reflection of this entire generation in the USA. Greg passes out the participation rewards and the players can feel good about themselves and wear their Rainbow colored jerseys and never upset anyone with any honest answers. If anyone starts to show any edginess send them off the island. US Soccer has always been a bit of a star chamber but now it is completely in line with the Disney’s of the world. If you have any brains you know 2026 is your one big chance to move the needle. I actually believe you have the talent- now go get the guy who can put the fear of God into them or accept being 5th sport in the USA pecking order and making the occasional knockout round your ceiling of expectation. Brian and Clint are the best strikers in USA history. However, based on his opinions I am glad he is no longer with the federation.

lol McBride still defending Shaq Moore

Brian said, @54:00 "there's nothing significant that lies ahead." This is the energy of why we are where we are. We need to get an agreement with another coach ASAP! 2 years is a lot of time to make a big impact on a program. You dont hire a coach to stand on the sidelines during the game. You hire a coach to develop a team, incorporate a system, scout his talent, etc. A new coach needs some time to start doing their homework.

Thanks for a reasoned discussion. I see folks complaining that Brian doesn't say enough, but the three of you combined are literally the only commentary that I've been able to listen to without turning-off the folks performatively ranting and raving (we can feel your pained sincerity, Charlie) or trying to make headlines. And there is a LOT of commentary. Thanks for being a refuge of informed commentary in a sea of drivel.

USMNT??? What country is that??😂😂😂

McBride and Meola are USA soccer royalty. I love every second of listening to them speak, with both tactics and passion.

As a US hater.This was football heritage🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jedi gets a 6 and Gregg gets a 5?!?! Hell nahhhhh

I like tony. He doesnt mince his words and nobody is going to put words in his mouth. His points were well taken, it wasnt about shaq moore. But you had the chance to put another midfielder or striker or AT least a right winger to play at right back. If you didnt take the risk knowing you need a goal, you would never take that risk. This is david moyes substitution pattern, like for like in terms of substitution.

17:25 spot on. Exact scenario played out for England. Tierney went down and southgate, to his credit, put on another attacker in Palmer and moved Saka to LB. It changed the game. Gregg doesn’t have a clue. “Like-for-like” substitutes is all he has the balls to make because he’s scared of his own players

G-G-G-G-G-G-G0lden Golden? How about nasty, sweet 94? How about gnarly, bloody 2002? How about savage, tough 2010?

Herve Benard. Lets go !

I called it weeks ago. Not making it out of group. Sad but predictable 😢

Is Mcbride applying for a job in the USSF?! Hes not drinking kool aid here, hes drowning in it. 😂😂😂

Brian protecting the federation even after this horrendous tournament, absolute joke. Speak your mind man, huge let down by the USA. Gregg out, you need someone to get these players to grow up and be more aggressive.

My recommendation for who US Soccer should consider as next USMNT Coach: Thomas Christiansen. Think about it.

I don't believe you about Tiny Tim Weah. He looked savage against that Panamanian player

Anyone remember Ream saved a goal off the line? Calm on the ball, good distribution thru the lines.

Berhalter finally allowed Balogun to slash the lines vs PAN & URU instead of recycling the ball. #Threat

Greg has had 6 years and still hasnt figured out how to get this team to create goal scoring opportunities.

One postivie to take is how US was challenged by 4 of 5 opponets they faced last. We need to continue to find, and face opppnents of such caliber. Oppnents in September friendlies do not cut it for me. Also, another positvie was the build up that lead to Haji Wright's shot being blocked. I thougt Reyna(surprisingly not subbed), and Pulisic combined technically very nice in this attack. That was the best quality play from either US, or Uruguay all afternoon.

Gio picks his head up and puts the ball at players' feet. Reverses field, thru the lines, in the box. He can't be a threat when he has to come so deep to get the ball.

No one who defends Shaq Moore entering this game should be allowed to speak about the national team

McBride said Moore was our best 1v1. Played 10 mins in friendly and got put on skates twice. Enough already.

Brian, is Berhalter still the best coach for the national team, like you said? 😂

God McBride is full of Sh*t. They did ok. WE LOST because we put ourselves in this positoin. Under GGG we have done nothing against good teams. NO MORE EXCUSES!

If GGG is not canned. I am not watching anymore.

Refs and Conmebol didn’t want the USA to get through the group

What happened to McBride man?

gregg is in the job for ONE reason. all of these players know they have him under their thumb and they want to make sure he stays there and they are included in the world cup roster PERIOD. the only reason they back him is he is a DOORMAT. crocker step up and take care of this trash

Regarding a new coach, how can this be financial?! There MUST be willing investors to fund a coach. THE PROBLEM is that the BOARD does not want to relinquish control. Pay up or get tf out of the way!

The US has a coaching problem from the youth leagues all the way to the top. Coaches in this country think Futbol is a track meet and don’t understand the game at all.

You can see McBride shaking in his boots when Charlie keeps it real 😂

Tim weah will either be a national team hero if Gregg gets fired for this or the biggest mistake in USMNT history if he doesn’t and Gregg gets a pass for the red card costing us. my gut tells my ussf will blame the red card not the coach for this debacle and that is just a scape goat. Gregg is the root of the problem.

New coach comes in the players will be evaluated and then they will have to fight for their positions. Players know of Gtegbstays the status quo stays.

I agree with you on Yunas and Weston they did not step up and a good coach is going to demand more. So disappointing. They are BALLERS and it was so underwhelming it’s insane!

all these’s rating are hilarious how you going to give the attackers the best rating when they literally didn’t have a shot at goal especially in the second half when they were down 🤣🤣

Brian is absolutely nuts thinking Shaq Moore is that good. Absolutely has lost if

There’s no way McBride actually believes what he is saying about Shaq Moore. 21:40 ish lmao

Brian disrespecting his own history with his bad faith analysis and bias.

Lets be honest the goal was offside the TV review showed it. Why was it not given. Yes the US should score goals; however, officials can make or break a match. I have seen some matches where the officials change the out of matches with very bad calls.

@1:05:00 Brian mentions limitations to budget. To be clear here, we are hosting the World Cup in 2 years. The only budgetary limitation we actually have are those imposed by our own USSF board. They've put themselves in a box on this. These are self imposed limitations - and quite frankly not an excuse that any of us want to hear. Maybe the "front office" is the problem here, because they don't want to take risks and be on the chopping block for making risky moves or blowing budgetary numbers. After 2026 WC, what do you think will be a more important take away - 1) that we went out and spent the money to get the coach necessary to put the USMNT in the Best possible situation to have success in 2026, or 2) that we stayed within our budgetary restrictions and should be proud that we saved $1M or $2M to the budget and that it needs to strike a balance with our aspirations? The answer is pretty clear...

Goalkeeping distribution has to be better. Even on a narrow field.

If we a lose this must win game, and can’t score a goal, then our players don’t deserve a rating of a 6. Maybe Balo and Scally for being consistent and getting injured?

Brian and Chuck giving Musah a 6 is wild to me, his first touch was awful. I feel like every time we had a chance at counter attacking Musah would have a bad touch or bad choice. It might be more a failure on the coaching staff to have three defensive midfielders in a game you have to win.

McBride makes this a tough watch

USMNT needs a change of management, Spaniard or Argentinian with Accademy formation, to look new talent and to follow them to complete their formation in Europe, US soccer managers just don't have enough experience to do the jump that the US soccer needs.

All Brian is good at is dodging questions. Literally every answer… “you know, Charlie, that is a great question… (spew nothingness)”

In BJ we trust for the interim

Brian saying we should look pass the Panama game is outright nonsense

But you are not better than Panama, you lost to them 😂

Honestly, what is the purpose of having McBride on this podcast?

It’s a catastrophic failure. The only silver lining is that Tony brought his dad energy to this podcast once again with getting stuck on mute

The stats I saw, we were outshot 3-1

Don't sugar coat anything

1. 4-4-2 would of caused several problems for Uruguay and the team would have shine. We are currently looking for a number 9. Why not play with 2 to find that. We need to substitute sooner & give the players more opportunities. Why is Aaronson part of the squad and is never used. He brings so much as a sub & could change the game. We are so stuck with Christian & Bologan. They’re not consistent. 2. I think the coach needs to rotate players more often. Especially if the players aren’t playing. Easily and probably the smartest idea would have been to create a starting line up with players who play in the same club for dynamic/chemistry purposes. Reyna shouldn’t have started due to his transfer. Pepi & Tillman play together. Christian & Musah play together. McKennie & Weah play together. Luca & Cardoso play in Spain & similar system. 4-3-3 isn’t the formation for this squad. Pepi is the answer to play more attacking. Dumb to ask him to hold the ball and wait for players. It doesn’t work.

Brian would be a great CNN correspondent

McBride is like a usa soccer spy, has to put a spin to everything. Almost like us soccer will allow this coverage unless we put our guy in there

Get Brian McBride off this show. Thank goodness he is no longer on USSF exec board. Dude so unwillingly to hold this coaching staff accountable and trying to sell us on Shaq Moore lol😂.

This is a perfect time to find a new manager, the large majority of domestic leagues are on break and a number of good managers are available. And if you were ever going to be able to convince someone to leave a job in Europe it would be much more likely during the summer break. Stop settling, the USWNT brought in Emma Hayes, how can USMNT continue as is, unless they want to just keep the status quo. If they want to grow the sport and expectations, then they have to make a change.

Gregg Berhalter is our Gareth Southgate 🤦🏾‍♂️

Think we might benefit more from a South American coach than a European coach. Need someone that understands the concacaf/comebol style of play.

You can tell Brian was not having the criticism of Gregg and the team. Saying things like that being too harsh on Shaq Moore. Brian is a shill and shouldn’t even be on this show. Not sure why Heath still hasn’t been brought back. Shaq got bodied within seconds of coming on by Vinicius vs Brazil and almost gave up a goal. Talking about being the best 1 v 1 defender 😂

Expectations of reaching the semi’s!!!? Is he serious? This is the Copa America with the best teams in South America competing, not CONCACAF nations league. Also how is the US ranked at 11 by FIFA and Uruguay at 14 and better still, Germany at 16? Losing to Panama despite being a goal up is why you’re out.

In no world would I have pick Shaq Moore to play USMNT. In fact, Dejuan Jones should have gotten a shot over Shaq

Meola got the most out of that CONCAFA squad @ TST….im just saying. #MeolaIn

#McBrideOut, #MeolaALLin. Advocating Shaq Moore is a straight red. ♦️

Recent effotrts besides 1 win in 5 games Panama gold cup loss Lucky win against Jamaica Loss to Trinidad Weak concacaf performances on the road

McBride is such a company man and mate with the guys on top, so he is NEVER willing to criticize Berhalter and the guys that gave Berhalter the job. Always there to defend whatever Berhalter does. His comments regarding Shaq Moore made zero sense and it all reeked of desperation to defend Berhalter and how he has lead this team. McBride sounds more like a PR man from the federation than a pundit. What is the point of having such a "pundit" at all?

I must be in the minority who ultimately thinks this was all Weah’s fault.

The money and infrastructure has to match the development. We do not develop good Coaches at the top level. The player develop model clearly needs to go up a level. There should be a pool of Coaches overseas learning. I dont read about that anywhere. I am okay with this loss because we would continue to do things the wrong way. American Coaches are not ready(only one was ready, and he is Coaching Canada🤔)

Go get Klopp now because if you don’t, England is going to grab him as soon as England loses at the Euros.
