  1. Gregg deep down knew he was wrong over his assessment on Luca but he's so egotistical that he never admits when he fucks up.

  2. Gregg said Luca needed to be better in transition and then Luca immediately posted a maximum length video to Twitter with no caption, just footage of him balling out in matches in transition. That's my GOAT.

  3. bad answer, greg. The answer should have been…Your transition issue is "X". Here's what I meant by that comment. How about, your final pass in the final thid needs to be more lethal.

  4. Grapefruit Greg proves once again that he is a non-sentient lifeform. He is going to doom the most talented generation of players for the USMNT to fail at the World Cup.

  5. I’m surprised Coach Berhalter doesn’t see how great Luca is, like us fans do. I respect Gregg a lot as a coach, but he has me puzzled on Luca. Good things happen when Luca is on the field.

  6. Identify your best players and adapt your system to get the best out of them as a team. Not "shoe horn" in average players to fit your system. Berhalter's apparent inability to have a system that can adapt and improve the squad as a whole may prove to be the greatest hurdle for success at this upcoming World Cup. SMH.

  7. Luca HAS to be on the WC squad! He is the midfielder with the best touch on the team. Maybe he doesn’t fit as well as Mckenie or Adams but he needs to be on the squad in case we need a boost!
