[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] All of this is to say that I don’t think Gregg Berhalter is doing a good job coaching the USMNT, and I worry he is unlikely to improve given that the players already feel like they have a good understanding of the system and what is expected of them. The problem is not time or communication style, but rather that Berhalter has implemented bad ideas.

[b]This is the part of the post in which a writer typically makes their case for a coaching change, but honestly, what’s the point[/b]?[/quote]

As the article summarizes:

POLITICS=US SOCCER

The result: failure, after failure, after failure

It’s all around us.  I see it constantly in the US soccer youth scene.  That and coaches that don’t know wth they are looking at it what to do with a promising young talent.  They squash him.[/quote]

It just seems that the youth system is set up to maximize winning at each age group. This means at the younger ages maximizing athleticism(and physical aggression) which is important but it’s only a part of the attributes that makes a soccer player. Thinking players are labeled as non aggressive and told by parents not to do the short passes, do not pass back and never pass in the middle. It seems at times at the u littles like the field is dominated by the low soccer IQ linear player. So when you get to the older ages, a lot of the ...more complex non linear players are not around.

Yep.  They drop out after year after year of watching dumb players move ahead.[/quote]
