Gregg Berhalter has dropped his January camp USMNT Roster and it might be the most bizarre roster he’s every dropped, filled with mediocre MLS lifers who have no quality, no potential and no future with the USMNT. There are a few interesting names but overall it’s filled with mind-boggling selections who should never put on the USMNT jersey.

Who did you most want to see on this USMNT Roster?
Where the hell is Guti, Jalen Neal and Obed Vargas? Not even Chris Brady come on!
Pete taking shots at the Fire will never not be funny.
Guys who should have been there: Brian Gutierrez, Caden Clark, Benja Cremaschi, Reed Baker Whiting, Obed Vargas, Jalen Neal, Chris Brady, Matai Akinmboni, Noel Buck (unsure if he cap-tied to England or not), Niko Tsakiris, Brandan Craig, Quinn Sullivan, Alex Freeman, Noah Allen, Kristian Fletcher, or Damian Las. Heck I would even bring back Nico Gioacchini, Matthew Hoppe, and Jesus Ferreira over guys like Duncan McGuire.
Tbh they should be calling in young USL Prospects like Bryce Jamison, or Nathan Worth.
Honestly if they were gonna be calling in an FC Cincinnati player why not Brandon Vasquez instead of Ian Murphy.
This is the same old same old with Gregg Berhalter I am shocked that Sebastian Berhalter wasn’t chosen
Just an FYI Zawadski is 23 he isn’t 26. I do not disagree with the fact that he shouldn’t be up called up and this is coming from a Crew fan.
Great stuff as always, Pete. Thanks for being the voice of the fans and never pulling your punches.
That’s was happens when there is no pro/rel
I think there is 0% chance Sargent gets released by Norwich for the Olympics. Probably looking at Wright or Ferreira for Over Age players… Bleak
Pete, where are you from? I sense so much rude Canadian accent in your voice.
Put MLS back on TV would be better promotional MLS strategy than to put together weak USMNT rosters, they are really delusional , I stopped paying attention
If you want the USMNT to get better, a huge part of that equation is chemistry. You should want to have your A squad (for olympics) playing games against most opponents, if reasonable with season schedules. Should be the same for the Senior team as well.
I think Neal is still injured
Also if I ever see James Sands play in a back 4 again I will vomit and have diarrhea
Zawadzki-Age 23 not 26
Beyond that:
The winner/leader intangible: 2017/18 Columbus Crew Academy Captain of Team
2019 NCAA Championship at Georgetown MVP/Captain of Team as Sophomore
2021 First Team NCAA All American
2022 MLS Next Championship Captain of Team
2023 MLS Championship Started 15 games 90% pass completion Played numerous positions
What other MLS players, 11 Yanks, have these intangible credentials?
Need a longer Chicago Fire rant 🙏
stfu u and technical manager tf yeah I'm glad they called up this roaster for friendly y get our Olympic players or our back up usmnt players injured he is seeing what our option after those u hating like tf and the one he brought to see they real deal but ok u guys reason y sports doesn't go along
now they want Zimmerman and acosta lol
Absolutely spot on, Pete!
Brian White is truly a shocker
Please make a video voicing your specific and uncensored opinions on the Chicago Fire
Berhalter is terrible. 😊
Pete, you have a real way of cutting to the heart of issues and the clarity with which you approach your criticisms is much needed in American soccer.
So now you know how us El TRI fans feel like with our incompetent federation and our puppet coaches 😢 I hate it cuz I'm Mexican American and I also chear for the usmnt
Isn't the old line Shaque knows the system??
13:49. Balogun and Pepi are u23
Love the MLS heavy roster. Honestly, this camp should be about promoting the domestic league. The better MLS gets, the better the national team gets.
Gone are the days of some dick from Germany saying MLS is irrelevant. No national team wins a world cup without help from domestic players. Go MLS and Go Crew
Tell me you haven’t watched these guys play without telling me you didn’t watch these guys play…
Zawadski is 23, not 26.
His value comes from versatility. He played every position except striker and goalkeeper in Columbus. Hes a great end of the bench guy because hes plug and play anywhere and hes consistent and reliable.
Sean Zawadzki is 23
There are so many more things that can be said about this roster, but I'll leave it to the other commentors. What keeps going through my mind is this:
Tell me Gregg hates Matt Miazga without telling me Gregg hates Matt Miazga… The guy wins MLS Defender of the Year, and Berhalter calls in his backup!! Ian Murphy doesn't even start for FC Cincinnati, but he's on the national team? Petty move, Gregg… 😂
I despair
Good stuff overall! This Camp is going to be pre-diabetic with all the cupcakes.
Only thing I disagree with is your Obed V over Josh A take. After starting off okay, Obed V fell off this past season with the sounders and lost his starting spot to Josh A (who at the moment is clearly a better player then obed).
Tafari had a better season than Miles Robinson with Dallas
What a perfect opportunity to use this camp to get the Olympics U-23 squad to gel together and waste it on a bunch of bums who aren’t even their best players in their MLS team
Pete's sarcasm in this video was hilarious. You can feel his frustration with these head scratching selections: I'm interested to see Bernard Kamungo, Caleb Wiley, Diego Luna, and Dejuan Jones. Outside of those 4, this roster is filled with Gregg's favorites, mediocrity, and vibes & fives. I wouldn't be surprised if this collection of meh can't get a result vs. Slovenia. 1st USMNT roster of 2024 is a gigantic miss.
Hey Pete any chance you and/or Tac could do a realistic ideal Olympic lineup. I know it's essential a U23 tournament but some of our best u23s are already on the senior team. And some eligible players like Tessman & Busio play a lot for their team and won't get released. I know who we'd all love to see but who we can realistically get is a different story.
lol USMNT fans are such losers. 😂
I often struggle to understand who is actually naming the players for USMNT rosters….is it Gregg or is it MLS? This roster is as nearly as confusing as the Roster for the last Gold Cup. I get that we can't get our A-Team for every camp/tournament, but constantly giving call-ups to sub-par players and/or dead ends frustrates the hell out of me. Given caps/camps as participation trophies drives me insane. Whoever made this roster, since they obviously are idiots, should have just gone all out and selected Roldan, Arriola, Guzan, Yedlin, Jozy, Long, and the rest of the worthless names pushed by MLS.
Looking forward to Kamungo getting a shot. He has a high ceiling and his instincts as a goal scorer are great.
Bruh we bring fucking atencio and ragen over vargas
I agree that this was a puzzling team. Missing a ton of guys. But Pete would you put Josh Sargent on the Olympic team.
Pete checking more IDs than a bartender…
Ggg knows he won’t have an actual legacy of relevance as a manager so he’s trying to milk the amount of “usmnt debut” players under his belt so it could look like he did something during his tenure. Then again it is his job so maybe he sees something in some of these guys that we dont.
Who are the overage players going??
Is GGG setting up his next move to MLS? He’s sucking up to them with rosters like this and it makes me think he wants to prep his next job, maybe exec rather than coach. He continues to disappoint….
