      Can confirm we were not “heading in the right direction” under berhalter… I agree the situation was childish but Gregg is still an idiot for not playing Reyna
      My respect for Pulisic has dropped tremendously

      Pulisic knows more about what happened and is one of our best players, but his level of insight and opinions are not very valuable.

      Greg needs to go regardless of all the drama he mismanaged. A new coach is needed.

      Mediocre coach. Am I the only one saying this? Come on soccer is at an all time high here in the states and they have this coach leading the boys. Absolute trash. Why is the program like this? So much bureaucracy, m sick of it.

      Yes, one way of getting on with progress as soon as possible was for USSF too be competent and get a new coach in 3 MONTHS ago.

      He should be mad that the Reyna's are a selfish family. All they wanted was to punish the coach cause their sweet baby wasn't playing enough

      It is amazing that so many commenters can't see the Pulisic was endorsing Berhalter to be retained. All of his talk of forward progress and good things in Qatar.

      Four years ago I would have chosen differently. While respecting Berhalter, I prefer older coaches at the end of their careers for National Team duty. But after he was chosen I'm going to be fair to him — something so few can do.

      🤣 Pulisic dad deleted the tweets but called Tuchel at Chelsea a "destroyer of players" because his kid wasn't playing. Pot meet kettle

      The knuckleheads behind the US soccer federation probably think theyre near the level of Argentina or Brazil lol to be having all this drama lol 😆 US soccee is a joke yes even the womens idc about womens world cup its a ghost trophy 🏆 the real world cup the US will never get with all this BS . Smh

      Kudos for Pulisic for being on point. This raises 2 points 1. Does the federation know what their doing with regards to USMNT? 2. Is Gio Reyna really a good enough player to be worth putting up with the drama. I think the assumption is yes, but I wonder about that. I wonder if his teammates on the national team feel like he is someone they want to go to battle with?. Pulisic still plays at a high level internationally even with limited club time. Can Reyna do that?

      The problem is a guy like pulisic is never going to just say Berhalter is no good or should be replaced. I love pulisic but also wasn't his dad tweeting and complaining about Tuchel and how Christian wasn't getting enough playing time??!😅

      If only he could be as wise and mature at chelsea, instead of just happy to collect his wages and warm the bench.
      Overly woke Americans causing drama again. That's what u get for listening to toxic females and militant lesbians disguised as feminists.

      I’m a Pulisic fan, but I don’t agree with him. I want a new coach, a European coach would be great. Hope we get someone from top 5 European leagues.😊

    38. Andres Diego on

      I can’t wait to watch these guys tear up the nations league group
      Hopefully we always call a strong squad like we’re doing for this window
