It's rich and grating for that clown Dan Thomas to laugh at Burley for not knowing how to pronounce hyperbole when Thomas himself is known to not know how to pronounce various words, as we witnessed on this program in the past.
Shown that the US is not a serious footballing nation with this selection… mediocrity here we come… Berhalter's ceiling is second round
Kieran Gibbs reading off a script HAHHAHA
Interesting. Two completely separate ways to analyze this. Seb focused on Berhalters past. That’s the biggest reason why. How dare we hire scum like Berhalter. My goodness he was shook by his past. While these guys focused on the the ridiculous process US soccer does to hire someone and laugh about it.
Wish the world cup was every 2 years
That’s why we call it soccer because in the US it’s a joke
“Gio is an important player to this team.” So important you thought you could win games in a World Cup without him because you’re so amazing?And “we take domestic violence seriously”? Never mind that it was a one-time incident, (which I don’t believe at all but whatever), you’re telling me the data couldn’t produce someone, for the optics alone, that hasn’t kicked his partner during an argument? I was so grateful for Craig’s response: all that data, not a brain among them.
Kieran keeps avoiding the valid criticism of Gregg and the hiring process and just keeps bringing up the drama with Gio's parents. That is honestly irrelevant to the story. Gregg aired dirty laundry that should have remained in the locker room. Gregg has alienated many players besides Gio. Gregg tactically is about as competent as a 3-year-old driving a car. His performance with the best generation of Americans is sub-par, and the only thing that has saved him is the worst Mexico team in history, and the corruption of USSF.
why isnt anyone talking about how extremely fucked up it was for gios parents to do that to greg who went to counseling with his then girlfriend now wife and figured it out privately. it was completely unnecessary for them to put this information out to the public. greg should look into a defamation case against the reynas because my respect for the adults in that family is -0.
It's not about Reyna, it's about playing the strongest 11 and playing people in their strongest position. Reyna is hands down our best 10, and letting him fill that role brings out the best in Pulisic and others around him. Gregg constantly played people in unnatural positions and asked them to do what they weren't good at, instead of exploiting his players' strengths like an actual good coach
Thank you SOOO much. Totally agree, USSF treats us as fans like morons. We're smarter than that. We follow which. managers and which players are available. To think we'd fall for Gregg being the only coach available is ridiculous.
US soccer just doesn’t want to be good. How do we see that semi final and how free the players play and nowWe restrict them
The USA hasn't won a WC knock game since 2002. And the team they did beat was Mexico. Wonder why…
Matt Crocker sounds like a baseball coach talking soccer.
Craigs reaction is how every country thinks of the USA in general rn not just football. Everything we do is just so overdone and dramatic. AND filled with lies and coverup nonsense.
Leftwing has control of US soccer.
What an absolute joke.
You don't think Berhalter isn't going to hold a grudge against Reyna …. you're absolutely wrong lol
Unbelievable. You can’t make this stuff up.
ParloCrock Scam AGAIN! Back to the DUMBSHIT WALTZ!!!!
Ofc Gregg was gonna do decent with the USMNT. Mexico is trending downward since the mess with Tata Martino and Canada is trending upward but they are still slowly growing and don’t have the biggest talent pool yet. USA was gonna win everything and be the best in CONCACAF. Gregg shouldn’t of gotten through the whole Reyna drama and domestic violence case but this was the chance to move on from Berhalter and not just dominate CONCACAF but compete with the best teams in the world.
Gregg was lucky to have good players, any other mediocre manager should have done the same or better than Gregg. Now, imagine a good experienced manager and this generation of players. The FBI should investigate the USSF businesses, something it is not right here. Why do they insist on this manager?
America got the name wrong.. it's FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER
Craig Burley rules! 👋👋👋
the ussf should put themselves through a mental evaluation
Craig is spot on here. USMNT is a clown show at the moment.
