USMNT humiliated by Colombia in DC l Copa America looms 

As a Englishman... not as humiliated as us last night... unfortunately both the USMNT and England are stuck with dinosaurs for coaches

I don’t like GB. Haven’t for a long time. He’s not a good coach for so many reasons, but, my latest reason is how he answers tough questions in interviews. He’s a weasel. He rarely just owns a shit performance, tactics, personnel decisions etc. He’s always got quick answers and just rambles to weasel out of it. He’s blowing 2026. The players need to wise up and stop giving him unearned credit. He’s not helping you bro! He’s holding you back.

Colombia just came in with 21 match unbeaten streak and beating Germany, Brazil and Spain..

I wouldn't worry too much. There was only four real issues....defense, midfield and offense and coaching.

Perhaps the USMNT underestimated Colombia? I mean, Colombia hasn't lost a game since 2022...and has beaten Germany, Spain, Brasil and other 15 national teams....

If any other federation got embarrassed like this they would fire the coach.

Pulisic is horrible at set pieces. He’s 40% service. Gio is 90% good service

Nations league is hurting US and Mexico. Constantly playing the teams from the region over and over really only benefits Concacaf. México and USA should try to go to Copa every go around.

Plan B for GGG is Plan A with different players

Jose mourinho once said let the other team have the ball I just want 3 points. Possession at the end of the day does not matter when you lose.

When a team shits the bed and doesn't have an edge. Its the fuckin coach 😂

Holanda vs Canada: 4-0 Uruguay vs Mexico: 4-0 Colombia vs USA: 5-1 Concacaf is the laughing stock of football

I think I agree with Bruce Arena now. This team would not beat the 2002 USMNT squad. It's not a difference in talent. It's the will to win. Zero grit, zero intensity, zero passion with this team. 2002 squad beats them 1-2 off of sheer will.

Nepotism got GB his job and this is the result. It's unbelievable that he's still the coach.

I was at the game front row. Yunus and vickers played like scrubs basically handing the ball over. We weren't ready for their speed. Pulisic was upset. Reyna was being pushed around.

I agree - the US looked bad against the Netherlands, but not this bad.

We were dominated mentally and physically.

We need a South American coach, ideally from Southern cone countries. If you look at Colombia's clubs and national team coaching histories you will find they hired mostly Argentine and Uruguayan coaches since the sixties. Peru also comes to mind.

Reyna playing out on the flank....... Reyna at CAM... Reyna at CAM... Reyna at CAM... Reyna at CAM... Reyna at CAM... Reyna...

Are you seriously comparing Colombia to Costa Rica or Panama? Colombia is one of the best teams in the World. You will see

BTW I don't think we will get out of the group in Copa America

Antonee Robinson was the one for me that really surprised me. I’ve never seen him play worse tbh. I was worried about Scally getting cooked by Diaz meanwhile on the other side Robinson was BBQ chicken

US players always leave players unmarked in the box

I love what Hercules Gomez said “ you gotta point fingers at people that put him [Berhalter] in charge. Who are the people the people that put him in charge; gave him a second chance.”

Always remember the mantra: don’t overate don’t overhype

This whole team looked like they didnt want to be there.

Bruh it was about 70% Colombia fans at the match tooo

Greg is world class at making teams punch below its talent leve

Worst performance in recent memory. Brazil is licking their lips.

Wait until Uruguay 😂

What I took from this: 1) Our depth is not as strong as we thought. Our 2nd string is too much behind our 1st string. 2) We Quit! 3) Our coach is predictable and will not adapt. This was an everything problem game.

The takeaway is the system in place for US International Soccer needs to be replaced across the board, the whole system.

I wonder how the soccer pundits gonna excuse this loss.

ustedes se creen que colombia solo es james y luis diaz??? entraron quintero rios duran carrascal y sinisterra y los destrozaron !!!! aprendan a analizar mejor aun rival de elite como es la seleccion colombia, o mejor se quedan con su futbol americano ...

FK EMBARRASSING... ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSING.

Even Canada is showing more fight and heart

The 3rd goal is honestly the worst one. Why we continue to just leave guys unmarked in the box for simple cutbacks , over and over again is shocking. No clue what Johnny is doing there. It's what the Netherlands did to us over and over.

Les dieron un BAILE MORBOSO... y eso que Colombia estaba bastante calmado

The easiest way to sum up this game is that it was a naïve team lead by a naïve coach. The players performed poorly, but you could see their obvious discomfort with what they were instructed to do, primarily in aspects of playing out of the back at all costs. That's not a tactic the team takes unless strictly instructed to do so, and Colombia expected it and found even more ways to capitalize on it as the game went on. It's criminal for us to continue to have a tactician that sets us up to fail so badly. I can guarantee you that if Colombia's staff were given truth serum, they'd share how overjoyed they were that the US kept playing that way while they sat ready to pounce on the mistakes. However, I doubt they would say they were stunned or surprised by the gullible tactics of their opponent. Even discounting the late goals, the second goal was the fault of this tactic. They tried to pass out of the back under a trap, and gave up a corner. That corner then produced a goal that wouldn't have a happened if the team were given the freedom to skip lines in their play from the D, or simply get the ball out of a dangerous area instead of living on a razor's edge against a very good and intelligent opponent.

We suck

I feel bad that I want the team to do bad in the copa America so we can get rid of this fraud. But with our luck the fed will say that it’s an acceptable performance and just wanted to get experience for the WC in 2026 😭

South American teams have better coaches and strategies.

Ream never replaced Bocanegra, Onyewu or even Brooks. No one replaced Altidore/Dempsey, Bradley or Beasley.

we learned that our defense is horrendous our offense is mediocre and berhalter is garbage and doesn't have the tactics to adjust for this team to wven lose a modest 2-1

Getting rid of the rainbow numbers might help.

We need a top class coach maybe from PL who has high demand of the players.

"We lost to Colombia at home" No tac, USA was not the home team tonight, as expected, the great majority in the stands were the yellow-clad fans, which shows that sports fans in this country still lack the passion for football, and fans from Brazil, Colombia or Argentina will fill the stadiums especially in the east coast.

Is it concerning that only 5 of our players in the starting line up are consistent starters at their clubs? The bench also doesn’t have many consistent starters at their clubs. I can’t think of many national teams where this is the case

Football tactics and strategies are constantly changing yet Berhalter has barely changed his tactics in almost 5 years. Every season a coach implements a system that works. Over the course of that season teams will implement their version of that same system typically to decent successes. Most coaches are outdated after a season or two. Every now and then a coach comes along where a system works for an extended amount of time (Pep, Klopp, Tuchel etc.) At some point all of them will have to adapt to the changes of the game. These are the best coaches in the world. We've needed a coach for over 5+ years thats up to date with tactics/strategies yet we've done nothing. Is GGG the only problem or is it the leadership at this point? Think about it.

Very strange and painful. But here's the thing... we had 4 horrible howling mistakes which they got goals from. Every howler = a goal. But they were *not* characteristic mistakes. Robinson and Richards... ouch. Johnny and yes... Joe Scally... had good games. Scally handled Diaz pretty darn well. At least *he* didn't torch us. Nothing particularly good to say about anybody else 😏

US has a good team, good players. You can see the creativity, athleticism, and work rate. But compared to so many countries, especiallly those in CONMEBOL, they just need to keep developing, stop riding their egos, and keep working. Today they just ran into a better Squad and a more developed football country.

Thank you buddy It's just a friendly USA has so much to offer maybe a Argentina or Brazil coach USA has skills they need a mental push Its 11 vs 11

Berhalter, you’re fired!

Jurgen Klopp would be incredible

Very true what he says, it is better to receive this humiliation now and try to improve

That's the big difference between playing soccer and real football, live and learn.

Netherlands in the World Cup was really pathetic. But this is definitely in the top three worst performances I have seen from the team.

I watched the whole match but I was at an event and only had the subtitles on and I missed the reason Pulisic was on a minutes restriction. Can someone explain what was going on there.

Hopefully this 5-1 will teach you to spell COLOMBIA 🇨🇴

USA wasn’t prepped for the game. But they did have all the pride flags up…

CONCACRAP

You guys are so dramatic you guys are very new to this game. Welcome to the big league FOOTBALL

Felt like the Japan game in 22

I’m glad they got beat liked that, they need to humble themselves and play with the underdog mentality that’s when the USA plays well, nobody cares if you play for AC Milan

Dos a Cero 😂😂😂

I spoke to ggg and he said he was pulling a 1980 pre olympics Soviet Union vs. US ruse heading into copa.

that Tac guy calling US equal to Columibia prior to the game was dumb. Weah was at fault for the 4th goal, other than the goal he scored, Weah is overrated definitely not like his dad.

The first sign that Gregg shouldn’t have been rehired is that the PLAYERS wanted him back. Do players or humans in general want someone that pushes you all the time. The leadership should have eliminated Gregg as soon as the players said they wanted him back.

To put this into perspective we played a so so game for 75 minutes and stank up the last 15. And Colombia is a legitimate Copa contender. But all that is beside the point. Berhalter is a predictable, play-by-the-numbers coach who does not inspire either players or fans. He mismanged the WC, both on and off the field. And yes he did sweep Mexico in '21, but a declining Mexico. That was his zenith. After that, he finished third in the 2022 CONCACAF Octagonal, behind Mexico and Canada. This reign of mediocrity and oh-so-close losses has created this fantasy world of how the US is poised for greatness. Sports fans, nothing could be farther from the truth. Americas have no idea how far the disparity is between world class players and American players.

I'm done watching usmnt for a while...a long while. 😂

You guys watering down Colombia are going to get a wake up call. Keep it up...USMNT will lose 5-0 with that mentality to Brazil. This is a new CONMEBOL where even Venezuela is capable of beating Mexico and USMNT. Its absurd how people think different.

Hey estados unidos debe subir el nivel del futbol rápido america necesita un país fuerte aliado en el futbol de este continente. La verdad salgan de casa siempre juegan de locales hay que salir para conocer el sufrimiento real de lo que es el futbol y ser mas fuerte

Look at the difference on the womens side. Vlatko was just like GGG and now the women have a better coach and they are already playing better in just two games.

Well, thankfully this game didn't count for anything other than bursting our bubble...I had medium hope going into the coming tournament, and it has been dashed...not sure where to begin with criticizing the team, it was just a deflating loss...maybe at least one problem will be fixed for the Brazil game, be it tactics, the defense, the offense, the ignorant uniforms...

I appreciate the sharp criticism you and Tac offer, and I understand in today's climate why you want to avoid saying anything negative about the "rainbow jerseys" as a matter of controversy, but I think you're a little quick to dismiss what's being alluded to when the super-chats bring it up: Our federation, US soccer, is more interested in ideological preening than developing and maintaining a competitive national team's program that one day, maybe, could win a World Cup. Gay rights is entirely irrelevant to the purpose of a professional international soccer program, and injecting politics into soccer makes it part of the culture wars and alienates one half of the country -- some of which might otherwise become fans of the USMNT and USWNT. It shows how unserious we are as a footballing nation. The activism of the USWNT that mainstream sports media adores and promotes has also hampered things in this regard too. You rightfully expressed frustration on stream that maybe the money needed to get the right sort of people to turn the ship around is not there because it would have to drastically overpay past the real market value of the men's female counterparts because of the successful rabble-rousing "equal pay" campaign has tied up resources and capital that could be spent furthering the program. And US Soccer, not wanting to offend the cultural opinion-makers of the country, seemed to actually support the revolt and lawsuits its own employees were leading against it. Again, US soccer wants to be aligned more with the country's and corporate DEI zeigeist than be able to field a team that will be competitive against the Colombias of the world. That's the larger point here. You rightfully criticize the soft mentality of our players. That mentality is encouraged by the corporate culture and values of US Soccer that reward mediocrity instead of footballing excellence. So the "rainbow jerseys" are in fact part of the problem whatever one may thing about the worthiness of gay civil rights as a whole. You and Tac have brilliantly explained GreGG's incompetence through the years, but that, as you guy acknowledge, is beating a dead horse at this point. The problem is structural within US Soccer, as well as cultural within our country. The USMNT is treated like the Olympics -- just something the casual can tune in for when it comes around every 4 years, i.e. the World Cup. If the country actually cared, 1) we would not be significantly outnumbered by Colombia fans in D.C. and 2) losing 5-1 to Colombia in DC would stir an outrage that would put pressure on US Soccer to not coast by and be the nepotistic, crony-filled, corporatist grift that it is. It's also an issue that most USMNT fixtures are on subscriber-access streaming services, so the access to new fans or children to get inspired and play is bottle-necked. So Big Media doesn't cover US soccer in the way it was starting to like 10 years ago because they don't have the rights or it is behind a paywall. I'm afraid things are worse than you guys state because this, our most-talented generation, will be wasted and won't take its chance in 2026 to make some noise in the tournament. It won't inspire the next generation of players and fans because of endemic corruption, ideology, and corporate greed as soccer in the US has become a lucrative but niche-market enterprise. All this doesn't bode well for the future.

Calling Pulisic a “small team” killer is horseshit. Sorry for swearing but you guys are better than that. He always steps up when the team needs him. Club and country

Jalen Neal needs an opportunity on the senior team. We need to figure out our starting CBS for 2026

How the hell colombians has more fans than usa and they playing usa soil 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

At least in the old days we played at 100% intensity. Our current players have more skill than our teams have had in the past. We have some solid pros who play in Europe, some at big name clubs. But overall, that is what they are, solid pros. When they step up against a very good international side they are still outclassed. To win against these teams they need to play like they care. In addition, GGG needs to realize we cannot go toe toe with every opponent in the world. Tactics need to change. You can play it out of the back 90% of the time against our regional opponents because we have more talent. But when we are playing teams with superior talent I don’t think there is anything wrong with playing counter attacking football. And sending a long ball out of the back to break the pressure. We are much too predictable. Good quality sides figure this out quickly and exploit our inability to play out of the back cleanly. Our players need to play harder and recognize they are not world class, and GGG needs to realize this and alter his tactics against clearly superior competition. Just my two cents.

Argentina lost 5 to 0 to Colombia in Argentina.in 1993 for world cup 1994 elimination.

Nicky Soup & Tossed Salad

not all the players asked for berhalter back.

Look at the bright side of 5-1... Could have been 6-1 if the ball hit the post and gone in!!

a reality check for the gringos to stop dreaming of winning the world cup 🤣

@tacticalmaangertv and @11yanks Do you think the players get disheartened since every stadium they play on American soil has more fans from the visitors (if from the Americas region) than US fans.

I don’t know what people see in this US team. This team hasn’t been decent since 2010. Concacaf and copa oro is a weak competition.

Shit happens, D Day is Copa America

We lost to “Colombia” lmao not a World Cup contender, lmao they beat Germany and Spain and now spanked the US. Are only 3 points behind Argentina in Conmebol qualifiers, also haven’t lost in forever. Yeah Colombia is among the elite. lol what a dumbass take

Totally agree with Pete on his Scally rating. Diaz is a beast and Scally pretty much kept him quiet.

Without a question as rich as our federation is we should be going after a Coach like Zidane, Berhalter sucks!!!!!!

GB, like most unimaginative coaches, just copies Guardiola. The problem is, Guardiola doesn’t win with tactics, he wins with player selection and uncompromising discipline. At the end of the day, it is no longer the fault of GB, but US Soccer who rehired him. GB has never demonstrated any potential.

Yall clearly dont know how good colombia is right now

They wanted berhalter back cause its easier on them n there's no discipline at all. No hard coaching!! The players know more than him!! Who'd want to come to usmnt with that as your coach!!

Aren’t we guaranteed a spot in the WC? Probably no motivation.

The two positives are Scally and Wright. Colombia are one of the best teams in the world right now; this performance is in line with qualifying for Qatar on GD.

@36:00 we went this long with GGG because we rarely play good teams and so we get dubs

They play at the level they play at because of marketing dollars. The US is a huge market and Americans have money to spend so teams sign them to draw the American audience. How many of those Colombians are playing in a top 5 league? Are they not better than some of those Americans playing at the level they are playing? Come on you can’t tell me you don’t get it.

Weah was also directly responsible for a goal

The U.S. needs 1st, a back line, a GK who organizes his defense so we don’t get blown out…a manager who starts the team on the front foot…our best players work in EU and respond well to EU styles of play e.g., Netherlands but Latin America, not the same and then to sit Pulisic in the 2nd half…the whole staff needs to go. From a U.S. ‘A’ licensed coach 🙏🏼⚽️❤

This is what you get when you listen to the players. You can't blame the players for the coaches choice, that's not their job it's the federations job to find a good coach. We need a better coach. GGG doesn't have the tactical awareness to play against good teams.
