Christian Pulisic’s TELL ALL about Berhalter’s USMNT return [EXTENDED INTERVIEW] 🔥 | Futbol Americas

It's pronounced "Call'ocho."

Hope the sport can continue to grow 👍

Fire Gregg

Love the chemistry between Puli and Herc. Great interview!

Pulisic you don’t want to f’ing win enough, too focused on preserving your good image and looking like a good person that you won’t just call it how it is, but apparently this is our teams “leader”

Chelsea don’t deserve him!! I respected Chelsea’s decisions to not playing him..only because of some moments..but after seeing Chelsea all season fall apart with zero Pulisic influence, it was all coach failure/organizational failures..don’t blame Pulisic, he actually had zero contribution to Chelsea’s unexpected horrific season!!

The talk about changing the way the world looks needs to stop you guys got to act like you've been there before. That's the problem with Greg you got to go hard and act like you're going to dominate. Stop playing your weaker players you always play your best players in big competition he doesn't do that he always messes with the lineup all you got to do is put your best players out there and let them play

Some needs to tell Puli to stop taking corner kicks

GGG don’t f*ck this generation up like a certain Belgium manager… *cough* Roberto Martinez *cough*

I love Herc and Puligod, what a treat

I wanna hear Gio's thoughts on Gregg returning.

THE GOAT basically Donovan if he went to Europe Lol

Did the Americans really think they would win the World Cup? Greg's has been great at CONCACAF, he built this squad, and he's done really well in the World Cup. It's ridiculous that he's getting so much criticism. The only stupidity was that it had to be renewed when the contract expired. It's totally pointless to wait 6 months and hire him again. Even if Guardiola comes, America cannot win the world cup, and such names will never coach America. So there's a good way to go with Greg, don't spoil it. You will never have a big failure, you will never win a trophy outside of CONCACAF, which is ridiculous to expect anyway. This isn't a FIFA game, guys.

The problem with Greg is he thinks too little of the team and has them play in unthreatening strategies against bigger teams, if it doesn’t work he doesn’t know how to adjust it his strategies mid game, he’s maybe too scared to make a wrong decision mid game and it shows

I'm finished with the usmnt f ggg but at least I get to watch CP with another club

Yo I love this!! Growing up in my area of Cali we never had none of what there is now. I always wanted something like, now for the kids here as well, help grow the sport in my community as well, Specially growing up n not having these opportunities down here.

Berhalter is an awful choice…there’s no other way to spin this

If soccer were the top sport in the USA from the BEGINNING (late 1800s) and the US had a proper soccer culture like Europe and South America where players grew up playing the sport and understood the skill and technique that was needed, the US would have already won multiple World Cups.

I’ve explained this many times. It’s not saying the US would have people like Lebron dominating. We might have someone like Steph Curry, but it would be mainly guys we haven’t heard of who maybe played college 🏀 but would have been amazing ⚽ players. In the alternate reality where soccer ⚽ is always our top sport, our top players are guys who probably played high school basketball or American football but were 5’8-6’ and were too small to be in NBA or NFL. Because 🏀 and 🏈 are our top sports, our most famous athletes are in those sports and don’t have ⚽ body types.

Our most famous athletes are people who don’t have soccer ⚽ body types but are the only ones we know, because they are in our top sports. If Spain only played 🏀, we’d never know about Iniesta, if England only played American football 🏈, we wouldn’t know of Phil Foden. Imagine an alternate reality where Spain didn’t play soccer much, only basketball. Their most famous athletes would be basketball players with basketball physiques. So if they said “we’d be much better if we always loved soccer,” people would say “you’re telling me Pau Gasol would dominate soccer?” That is where we are with the U.S.

I’m talking about the what if scenario if soccer was the top sport in the US from the late 1800s, like in Europe. In that scenario, the US would have a proper soccer culture where we actually understand how to develop soccer players properly. At present we DO NOT have that because; 🏀 and 🏈 have been our top sports along with ⚾ forever, and they emphasize athleticism, so American sporting culture is more focused on athleticism and has no understanding about the fact that technique is what matters in ⚽.

Another thing we have that holds the US back is pay to play. But pay to play developed SPECIFICALLY because soccer was always a fringe throw away sport in the US; and thus developed into a suburban upper middle class sport that was more recreational than serious. In popular sports in the US like 🏀 and 🏈, most of the top players came from lower class backgrounds, like Lebron James. Because we understand the sport we don’t have a pay to play thing keeping talented poorer athletes. If soccer were the top sport in the US from the beginning, we’d have that. Also, if soccer were the top sport in the US from the beginning, the US would have one of, if not the top league, because the US has so much money it would attract foreign players supplemented with American players. Therefore, every US World Cup team would be filled with starters and stars in a top league (US league in this scenario), like every big European team.

And I’m not saying the US would have people like Lebron dominating. We might have someone like Steph Curry, but it would be mainly guys we haven’t heard of who maybe played college 🏀 but would have been amazing ⚽ players. Because 🏀 and 🏈 are our top sports, our most famous athletes are in those sports and don’t have ⚽ body types. If Spain only played 🏀, we’d never know about Iniesta. The U.S. would have a style somewhat like a France England mix except a much larger talent pool, using African American players before Europeans used black players, and would have won a couple of the earlier less competitive World Cups. Look at France from 1998-2022; 4 World Cup final appearances out of 7, and their 2 losses were in penalties. I suspect USA would be like France of 1998-2022 but from 1930. My guess is US wins 2-3 World Cups by 1970 and 2-3 World Cups between 1970 and today, so 4-6 overall

Pulisic has not liked his headstrong coaches at club level. Naturally he doesn't want it at the international level. But what's good for Pulisic isn't what's good for the team.

This team is just starting to come into their prime. So much talent and swagger more than any other US team before.

Hold up Puli you can't understand all the negative talk about GGG. The same coach that tried to exile Gio Reyna, who is probably the second best player behind you. Because his dad Claudio Reyna would not play his son Sebastian Berhalter at Austin? How could you even back someone as petty as GGG?

Capi bro gotta leave Chelsea go to barca 👍🏼

Christian handled every question like a professional and it’s great to see him try to instill that fun and loving-the-game culture in the US. Great stuff about the usmnt for obvious reasons and hopefully he gets a move to a club that appreciates him the way US supporters do
