Are you kidding me? Look forward to seeing the US have no imagination and consistency on the field, what a disappointment.
If we want to get a top class Manager we must merge with CONMEBOL into a single federation because top class managers want actual competition, they wouldn’t want to coach a team in a weak league.
Also we must remove that equal pay structure for men and women team because if we hire a top class manager, he would ask for more money and we must pay the same amount of money to the women’s team head coach, which doesn’t make any sense.
We are a country with a lot of potential in Soccer. Europe and South America are just getting better and better day by day. If we want to compete with them, we need rapid growth and make the right decisions. Silly decisions like these only descend our team backwards.
Big L for USSF
Klinsmann would do a better job at this point.
Sebastian is being dumb there. Of course you can't throw Berhalter in right now in the middle of the tournament, one in which they've just reached the final.
Other than that, I will say something that no one has mentioned yet in the media: Berhalter had political support. All the American soccer power players that Matt Crocker had to have checked with before making the final decision. Those are the same people who disseminated talking points about how Gio's parents were meddlers compared with those who opposed Berhalter, how Gio was not well-liked at Borussia Dortmund. I remember months ago thinking how I was surprised that there seemed to be a lot of people putting out the same anti-Reynas (the parents and the player) obviously rehearsed talking points to the media.
Yes, the pool of good coaches was getting smaller the longer they waited. But you simply can't bring Berhalter back…unless…
I'm not gonna pretend Greg was the worst coach in the world or the allegations were enough to affect his career but Greg is just bad at his job and shouldn't be considered for that. He was a good recruiter but tactically bankrupt, not beloved by team or fans, handled the Reyna saga poorly, and now has twice been hired in a shady manner.
Gregg's results with the USMNT were not "ok". He could have done so much more with that pool. His tactical straight jacket up front at the 9 ensured that we would NEVER have a fluid attack unless other teams fell apart under pressure from the flanks and chasing to exhaustion at the boundary between our back and middle third. Change that one thing- get rid of the "target 9" mindset- and most of the rest of what Gregg did would have and still can look damb good on the field against most other national teams. But he probably won't make that change by putting a ball carrier at the 9. That sort of sucks, because we have one of the best players in the world in Pulisic at doing just that and STILL put the ball in the net. Almost every great moment Puli has had for the USMNT happened when he was playing hero ball at the point of our attack. There are few defenders and defenses around who can stop him when he makes those drives with his head over the ball.
This is horrendous
Y don't u ever cover other confacaf teams there was literally only one other game
He’s dreadful. What a wasted opportunity.
I doubt that berhalter will be our coach in 2026, he's just a caretaker till ,after Copa America ( 2024), then hopefully, we will bring in a bigtime coach,
What do you expect with a Sporting Director from Southampton, of all places???????
This is a terrible decision. Cindy Cone and Cocker all condone domestic abuse. They are part of the problem. They all need to be fired immediately!!!!
Gregg has a private matter resolved years ago and gets sacked unfairly, Joe Biden corruption is covered up by the FBI and get the Presidency!
What a joke !!!!
HERE COMES THE MLS BUMS right back on the team. The height of stupidity.
You can t fire a Coach because of a funny scene in front of a bar that took place in the 4th century
The 1 who stops England in a World cup should be supported not fired
As an American trying to get into football – and having heard the odd story about this guy being a jack a** to one of our better players – is enough for me to say – I'll only take a peripheral interest in the team knowing theyre happy plodding through the mud and not really trying to get some serious ball happening.
BALD FRAUD, GGG out!!!
What!? Dear God, why!?!?!? Terrible news!
Bruh he not ready for the home WC… Stage will be too bright for the team with him at the helm.
This is a bad idea.
The fact that US Soccer needs a consultancy to make the two most important hires in US Soccer history, speaks of the incompetence all around.
2026 world cup on home soil is why Viera was never a real option. No way was US soccer going to hire a "foreign" Black man to lead the team going into a world cup they're hosting. They had to hire a native white guy and what other real option was there?
Anyone that believes that a single coach other than Jay Berhalter brother's interviewed for the coaching job since 2019 is a fool… Gerber is a genius 🤷
Something tells me they didn’t have any other guy who was interested
US should’ve tried to poach Mourinho, he would’ve got them boys right
Did Berhalter win some kind of tournament since the World Cup for US Soccer to have this renewed confidence in him?
So the elephant in the room is when Reyna gets benched when Tyler Adam’s is healthy. Honestly I think Reyna is the “weakest” starting 11 player we have.
I was hoping Jesse Morris would be the coach, but I’ll take triple G and I want to see Rena and Pulisic play together
But why….? 😅😂😂
So this is the guy the US will have heading into the world cup in 2026? Unless he pulls some rabbit out of the hat and does surprisingly well out of nowhere then I can't see the US progressing much further than the round of 16 which is quite sad considering the hype and expectations among US fans for the tournament. I am disappointed for them too.
Telling a National team manager to not manage the National team is like telling a History teacher to not teach History
