In the surreal world of US Soccer, the Federation has decided to re-hire Gregg Berhalter as the “new” US Men’s National Team (USMNT) head coach, according to reports. We break down the news, as well as discussing why this shows a lack of ambition for US Soccer especially with World Cup 2026 around the corner.
We also dive into what Berhalter’s record was in games outside of Concacaf, why his signing shows a complacency within US Soccer Federation to not rock the boat and to not be more aggressive, as well as discussing our throughts on the Concacaf Nations League semi-final between USA and Mexico.

Opinion taken and disregarded 😢
I agree. I think having a woman at the top of the USSF is part of the problem. She clearly prioritizes the USWNT. I hope they crash out so hard at the WWC. One of my happiest days as a soccer fan was in 2021. USMNT won Gold Cup final on the same day as the USWNT losing to Canada in the Olympics.
This federation has NO PASSION, NO VISION, NO AGRESSION
This probably the first time I can remember people want a manager out before he even coaches a first game. It's going to be painful in the next three years. Look for forward for the WC 2030 with a new manager and new young players.
I honestly don’t see calling this incarnation of the US a golden generation. They aren’t any closer to winning it all or even being a top 5 team in the world. Yeah, more players are playing at higher levels in Europe but that’s not the final metric. Golden generation tag seems like a US Soccer marketing ploy more than anything. And if this is a golden group, berhalter had his chance and lost.
USMNT "Practically Flawless"?? Sorry until they scored there was a stretch of 20 min where they were clueless
What do you guys do…listen to other talking heads and then just repeat the scripts….we need need thoughts…..I hear the same BS on almost all the shows
I guess its ok for the usmnt coach can lie to the fans n get away with it. I will not n lots i know will not watch them anymore til berhalter is out!! This is ridiculous n i think Crocker was told to hire him back!! None of this makes sense n the fans need explanations!! Now!!
If people dont come to watch equals no money!! What a waste of talent n what is this joke of a mgr gonna teach these worldclass players anything??? Really!! They are beyond him!!!
