It's wild how Sebi just steals talking points and phrases from Tactical Manager and 11 Yanks. This video had Sebi saying Gregg did better by not selecting "MLS Lifers." Why can't a professional soccer host produce his own analysis rather than ripping off terms from Twitter and fan media?
What needs to change from the last cycle? Well, let me see, let me check the Leagues Cup stats. Ah yes, here we go: 7 out of the top 10 assist stats were produced by foreigners playing in the MLS. 9 out of the top 10 goal stats were produced by MLS foreigners. These players can't play on the USMNT, so how about getting rid of unnecessary American MLS player quotas. That would be an EXCELLENT good start.
Firing Greg would be the best way to change things
Call up Luca Koleosho, dammit! He's better than many of the reserve wingers who are called up. Great on the ball, great dribbler, and can pick out a pass. Get him before Canada, Nigeria, or Italy!
What's the shirt that Herc is wearing?!?!?🔥🔥
Landon Donovan should coach team USA
You can't talk your way into respect. You don't change how you are viewed to be successful. Being successful changes how you are viewed. F sakes, its all PR image conscious bunk, no substance. Put away the powerpoints, eye-rolling corporate exec speak- emphasize the game, play good football…. win big games, the rest will sort itself out-including respect for the manager, the team, the players, American Soccer.
We deserve every bit of the terrible copa America and wc that we’re ab to have. Cant wait for us to lay an egg back to back in the two biggest moments for soccer. Only the us federation could fumble this hard
Can’t spell berhalter without halt. No one can bring their team’s progress to a grinding stop like the us federation
I hate to say this but only way we get done with GGG is getting bumped in group stage of copa. Without him, the team flowed. They didn’t try and stay within a system. With him, it’s a style that’s hard to watch
Really enjoying these two together. Seb Salazar has grown so much from some of those unfortunate early years. Glad ESPN has stayed with him because he's working at such a high level now. And Herculez is honest and open. Not about right or wrong, it's about being real and Herculez Gomez is very real with a fine command of language. I really enjoy listening, which is rare for me.
On the Red Card they have information that says there was a heated dispute between GGG and John Brooks. So the Brooks is not healthy etc. is all BS.
The team needs to be cautious with the stuff they are saying. Great that they are confident, but you don't need to spout out overly high expectations. That just builds pressure. Better to just take it one game at a time. Nobody knows the future.
What's Berhalters record? A coach is what his record says he is. Enough of these garbage criticisms. You can't play a higher line with John Brooks…how do we not know this already? He's slow af.
"Semi Finals" says the man whose team was a single slightly better shot from Iran from bottling an easy group…
Another change that would help is to get rid of the whole upper management of US soccer.
Change soccer in America forever. That's some wonderful beautiful stuff. Let them go do it "believe" I don't believe in ggg but I believe in the players. Go get it, Weston!
Nice to see the comments still full of people wishing for the team to fail just to get rid of a mediocre coach. If you want the USMNT to flame out of Copa America at home because you hate Berhalter that much, I'm not sure why you follow the team at all
BS, how can you say that starting 11 in each of the World Cup games was OK when Reyna was on the Bench and Pepi with John Brooks were not even members of the team.
The world view of US soccer is changing because now we have the largest number of US players in playing at the top 5 leagues.
He has really cool shoes guys what does that count for?
Are only prayer is he gets fired
🤞🏻 what up herc
Berhalter needs to give players a second chance like Brooks and Reyna etc.
Uzbek game is going on. It's still 1.0 and will continue to be.
DGAF what GGG sounds like or says. He needs to allow his 9 to try to score, especially against good teams and when we are down.
The W.C. presence of players like Long and Ferreira declares that Berhalter had no master plan behind close-held cards.
He just doesn't know…
There is only one thing that can hold back this promising young team. So what did the federation do? They went ahead and got that one thing – Gregg Berhalter. Talk about a buzzkill. Just when the USMNT was showing some real promise and hope, they went and did the worst thing possible, they brought back a mediocre manager who has lost all trust from the players. Epic fail.
GGG out
Berhalter will ruin the Copa America 2024 campaign.
