Would you like to see Gregg Berhalter remain as the USMNT's head coach?
Great podcast… he talks a lot without saying anything at all. Lol
You don’t know all that has happened alexi. That’s why they are investigating. Allegations were made that it was more serious. Obviously the wife doesn’t care cause they are still together but they should do their due diligence. Make a friggin decision already ussf and get to the point alexi !
Alexis ur so right about Greg, anyones who’s eyes are open know Greg should stay. Only Jesse marsh could replace, only.
Bring back your awesome theme music you had during the World Cup.

It was a weird take. Alexi didn't think he should be our coach for a second term. Then found out that Berhalter once kicked his girlfriend/now-wife. But he didn't like the way he found out. So, he thinks that Berhalter should coach the US for another four years. I guess he's clarified it that he's just saying it shouldn't impact the decision. But it's hard to go along with the characterization of Berhalter as "a good man getting screwed."
Reyna in Spanish means Queen (reina). Coach Berhalter got caught in the drama from Gio and his parents mid World Cup. It was a distraction and it had a cost. But, unfortunately, this has repercussions going forward. USMNT needs to go in a different direction.
Get off your knees Alexi. You don’t want the best for this program. It’s pathetic
Some of the critcims made on Berhalter were so unfair. They said he was bad because he was constantly changing lineups. Well, fellows, he had to because a coach must find the right formula that works for a team, so he has to make those changes. Furthermore, a national coach doesn't have the luxury of a coach of a league team, who sees his players every day, and learns all their quirks and so on, and can mold them to his formula. They don't have that advantage. Look what happened when he put the best players in the field. John Brooks made a terrible mistake in the game against Canada and that led to a goal by Davies that tied the game. Steffen, who played for Manchester City, started to decline, and had to be changed. McKennie, who plays in Juventus, which is the emblematic team of Italian football, for some time he didn't play all that well. Pulisic was injured for a long time. And, of course, the issue that still persists of not having a quality striker, hurt the US team, too. So, I think Berhalter didn't do a bad job. Not at all.
US Soccer should keep Berhalter for a year then transition him out to a new coach to teach the Reynas that what they did was unacceptable. Gio should be put on probation and benched for weeks for the antics of his parents. Then everyone can move on!
