LMAO. because Pulisic and God knows who else on the team were too sick to play.

There are more arrogant, clueless people on this forum.

Seems silly to do that.

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.

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?

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.

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.

It’s enough to almost pull my kid from the sport they love and I loved playing. It is some tough sh@t to stomach in this area. So many arrogant, clueless @sshes and crooks.

I saw better players in the GU vs U-MD men's game this week. And much better soccer being played.

Politics has always been the biggest puzzle piece to the team. This is the result.

Georgetown did look fabulous in that game, though it’s not quite as easy as it looks to play international competition at any level.

Not against Cuba or Canada!! They won big against Cuba. I was at the game. I am also the same poster that said they looked like crap in that Cuba game and with the touch they displayed and blatant mistakes they would get exposed bad by a team of decent caliber. By decent, I wasn’t meaning Cuba. I was thinking much higher in the rankings. The soccer IQ was missing.-and for many, technique too.

*wasnt meaning Canada. But, even Canada exposed them.

I swear we have gone backwards in the men’s program and watching firsthand the DA scene/selection process in the DMV I can see why—especially if it’s representative of development and selection Nationwide.

Yes. He’s horrid. Show him the door.

Well, look on the bright side...if the USMNT won all the time, they'd probably become almost as obnoxious as the USWNT.
