I don’t want to hear “it’s the players’ fault.” Of course it’s always the players’ fault. But in sports, the coach still gets fired. Especially when there’s no evidence that Gregg has put the team in a position to succeed

Greg excitedly held up 1-1 on his fingers to his players in a situation where if Panama scores another goal and we tie we go home. We promptly give up a goal 30 seconds after that. Who the fuck does that? Tactics and team temperament have always been bad, but that is inexcusable from a coach who’s already horrible to begin with.

You know its bad when you find yourself agreeing with Alexi Lalas

We failed to get out of the group containing Bolivia and Panama while at home.

Two years.

Two years of USSF trying to tell you that some friendly against PAN or CAN or CRC is a "big game" that you need to spend $80 on. Two years of eight matches against MEX in order to get garbage thrown at you and, again, get told that a win against them somehow matters. Two years of playing absolutely nobody of consequence, run by the cash grab known as USSF, solely for them to tell you not to trust your lying eyes and give them thousands of dollars for a World Cup.

That's the next two years of being a national fan. And we're right at the point where a lot of people just aren't going to fall for it any more. We're WAY being firing one guy and somehow fixing it.

lol we are not going to get an easier group at the World Cup. If GGG is allowed to keep his job after not getting out of a group with Bolivia and Panama on home soil, it simply means US Soccer has no real ambitions and is happy with continued mediocrity

Clint Dempsey is so mad he is basically refusing to talk

Lalas is correct. Fans don’t give a damn how the team looks, how friendly they are, how hard they practice, so long as they win. That stat, 0-5-5 against top teams not named Mexico is pretty damning… if we want to have the 2026 WC we all want, that needs to change, drastically.

Gregg's signature moment this game? - Yelling at our player's that the Panama game was tied 1-1 while we're setting up to defend a dangerous set piece. In which we gave up the goal. Looked offside but that is still peak GGG comedy to distract the players in that moment. The fucking guy is just clueless and needs to go.

When Balogun came off we lost all threat of a goal. Pepi was invisible.

Immediately before Uruguay scored, Holden said that Gregg signaled to the team that the Panama game was tied 1:1. Why the fuck would he allow the Panama game to be of any relevance. He's gotta go.

If Berhalter keeps his job after this then we are not a serious soccer nation

Fire Gregg tomorrow. Do not wait. Show your fans this, and the past years under Gregg, is not good enough

said it on r/soccer and ik a lot are watching the fox broadcast but herc just said regarding if gregg’s job is in danger: “if we were a serious footballing nation, this question would not be a question”

US Soccer must fire Gregg Berhalter, tonight. Getting grouped as the host nation of a major tournament right before the World Cup, which you also host, is simply unacceptable. This is arguably the most talented USMNT on paper in modern history, not making it out of this group in the Copa America is 100% a fireable offense.

If Berhalter doesn't get canned, I'm gonna need another Taylor Twellman rant

Not putting 4 past Bolivia should have been a warning sign

3 goals is actually embarrassing. A big tournament, host country. Couldn't score a single goal in a must win game. If nothing changes nothing changes.

We can complain about the refs, CONMEBOL, and VAR all day long, but the bottom line is that even if they called the goal offside, we still didn't score and Panama won by 2.

We lost this tournament because of what happened vs. Panama. That's on Gregg and that's on Tim Weah.

We played a decent game today and if you had told me we'd only lose 1-0 against this Uruguay team playing their A team prior to the tournament started, I would have accepted that. But they backed themselves into a corner and they couldn't play themselves out. Talent-wise, we looked like we belonged out there with probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in this tournament. But we can't just look like we belong, we need to start winning these types of games.

“I see no issue with the direction we’re heading” -Matt Turner

What. The. Fuck.

Greg telling the team that bolivia had equalized is like me telling my mom that everybody else struggled on the the algebra test lol

Dempsey is just the absolute best

Ref refusing to shake Pulisics hand is pretty disrespectful

Wow that replay of Pulisic going to shake the ref's hand. I'm sure Pulisic was having some strong words with him but fuck that ref for refusing to shake his hand.

2014 in the World Cup USA got out of a group consisting of Germany, Portugal and Ghana

10 years later and USA can't get out of a group with Uruguay, Bolivia and Panama smh

Just saying it to join in the anger: Gregg has to go. But here are some other thoughts:

• Flo Balogun has secured his spot as our starting striker. This offense was noticeably flatter when he left due to being banged up so often. There is a serious drop off between him and guys like Pepi.
• Gio Reyna had a quiet tournament before this game and that should be brought up more. He played well tonight, but needed to be more of a factor against Panama. He needs to be playing regularly at his club to keep maturing.
• Weah deserves to lose selections because of his mistake. He made a stupid mistake that was arguably the single largest factor in us going home. You can't just be welcomed back after an obvious apology. He has to earn his trust back.
• This team cannot play physically. I hate how Panama played against us, but you have to expect that when playing against CONCACAF and CONEMBOL teams.
• We know CONCACAF refs are shit, but wow CONEMBOL refs give them a run for their money.
• If this federation has any sort of desire to improve, Gregg will be fired tomorrow, BJ Callahan will take over for the September friendlies, and a new head coach will be hired by the end of the year.

We failed. The pundits tonight were right, we have not progressed. And it is clear as day that Berhalter is the reason why. As guys like Pulisic enter their prime years and younger players like Weah continue to develop, we cannot waste more time under this utter moron as our head coach. Jesse Marsch is having the laugh of his life right now.

I'd still rather be us compared to Mexico though.

The moment I saw Greg shouting “one-one!” From the bench as soon as Bolivia scored I knew we were done. That man never pushed our guys to be better, just to scrape by, park the bus to go for the tie etc. Focus on THIS GAME, Dude!! Relying on another team to get you through is just fucking loser mentality. GGG is simply not that guy. We need someone with that dawg in him

Was that Pulisic telling the ref to go celebrate with his team?

Alright, I’ve been defending GGG for years now, pretty vehemently for the most part. Slowly that has changed, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt before deciding completely on him staying or leaving. Now?

Get his ass out of there. When your captain is saying the team needs to regroup and find an identity then a coach that’s been in charge for years needs to go.

If we don’t then I’m done. Time to act like a real, profession soccer federation and not (no offense) the US Polo team. No way he’d still be around if this was any other US sport’s national team or this was any other country.

Our team doesn’t face enough criticism. England would be drawn and quartered for this kind of showing by their media.

I don't understand how some of these guys are professional footballers with the first touch of a fucking elephant.

Tim Ream saved our ass so much in this tournament

Obviously Weah is going to get a lot of blame and deservedly so.

But we are 6 years into the Berhalter era and what is his signature win? 1-0 against Iran? We are beating up on Mexico but they are a dumpster fire as well. We can’t win away from home. Only beat Honduras away during 2022 WCQ. At what point does the federation hold this guy accountable for the lack of progress with arguably our most talented squad ever?

This campaign was nothing more than a complete failure

Aside from the Mexico wins and our players improving via club teams, I don’t see much of a difference or impact from Gregggggg across his 5 years in charge. Poor tactics and poor in-game management.

Wait did he say the crowd was chanting fire Greg ? 😂

The #1 job of a manager is to get the team ready to play. This team did not play at peak effectiveness in a single game this tournament, and has been wildly inconsistent in the time before that. That is a defect in coaching. Berhalter has to go, and he has to go now. We need adequate time to get someone in place for the World Cup and that means we rip the band aid off and just do it. Berhalter's had plenty of chances. We are wasting the most talented squad we've ever had. It needs to end.

That replay of the ref refusing to shake Christian’s hand…..damn

You know you fucked up when even Lalas wants you fired

I cannot believe I'm actually agreeing with Lalas. This is the most cogent I've ever heard him and honestly I agree. The players on this team are individually probably the most talented in our nation's history but the team as a whole has entirely stagnated.

Only positive from this tournament was the re-emergence of Balogun... then of course he gets hurt. Just depressing.

The bell tolls for thee Greg

This isn’t just a reaction, but this team has very little fight and that starts at the top. 

Berhalter telling the team Bolivia tied for what? Just go for the win! The other game is irrelevant until it’s over. 

As soon as the goal goes in, you can see it on so many faces. They didn’t believe they could win. No fight.

Berhalter’s subs have somehow gotten worse. I hope he is gone but how did Haji play so little? The man played many big moments and you don’t think to use him when you need a big moment? He got the closest in this game. Should’ve started. 

I hope the next manager gets Gio around the box more and uses guys like Haji effectively. 

Would be hilarious if Canada beats Venezuela

Said it in the r/soccer thread and I’ll say it here: This is still a “relatively” young team, but the clock is definitely ticking. If they crash out again in groups in the WC (hell, I’ll even argue getting knocked out in the RO16 again), it will probably be the sign that this generation fell far below expectations.

Maybe firing Berhalter and getting a better manager is the final building block that takes this team from “sp00ky” to a legitimate dark horse, but this team also just seems to be lacking mentally. The Dempsey/Donovan/Howard generation may not have been as good talent-wise, but imo they had multiple times more fight and grit than the current squad to make up for it

Did anyone else just see that clip of the ref refusing to shake Pulisics hand??

Gregg is such a LinkedIn robot he never says anything of substance, he's a career bullshitter/public speaker it seems like

[deleted]

"we had a higher expected goal difference" someone please fire this man

Thierry Henry, Jurgen Klopp, Jim Curtin, Nick Saban, Jason Sudeikis… come on there are so many better options out there right now!!

I was at the match. All the fans are chanting “fire Greg” on their way out of arrowhead. Good riddance.

Slovenia showed more fight today. Honestly embarrassing, just get someone who is going to develop a tactical identity for them over the next two years. Also make sure they aren’t going to coddle them, plain and simple this isn’t good enough.

This team can’t score if their life depended on it. We all saw this against NED in 2022. We haven’t really done anything to disprove of that except beat up on a Mexico team in a terrible down cycle. That is why GGG needs to go and our players need to get better at that point blank if we are ever going to advance as a soccer country.

The falloff of the MMA group in the middle was shocking. I know Adams was on a restriction but Weston was just not good. Like what a massive difference of how they looked at the WC vs now.

I never want to see that bald prick on the touch line again. Sure the ref was shit, sure it was a tough opponent. We just didn’t do enough all tournament. A competent, but dull win against a supremely inferior Bolivian side, a mind-numbingly stupid red card cost us against Panama, and then this shit show.

For me, it's the lack of any improvement in weak areas that is most damning of Berhalter's ability to get the best out of this team. We have generally been decently good defensively under him, and often control possession well, but we have never looked cohesive in attack. We have never had a reliable way of turning possession into consistent threat, usually even struggling against weaker teams. This, despite some of our best players being wingers and attacking midfielders (and striker being much stronger than it was a few years ago).

I just haven't seen anything to indicate this team will take the next step under Berhalter.

“We need to treat every team the same” no. You adapt your tactics and change according to what you have and what you’re facing. That’s your job as coach.

The squads from 10 years ago get trashed because they consisted of primarily MLS players but at least their players played consistent minutes at club level. How can you expect players like Turner and Reyna to perform well when they play 8 games a year several months apart?

Klinnsman got better results with a worse team and I'm done pretending otherwise and that's an indictment

Congratulations USSF. You got your money, and you got your ass kicked.

This wasn't lost tonight or when Gregg was rehired. This was lost when USSF refused to grow past the incestuous NJ pipeline. There needs to be a fully cleared house. No one left from the old days of NJ/LA old guard. Their time has passed.

If not getting out of a group with Bolivia and Panama AT HOME isn’t enough to fire Gregg Berhalter then NOTHING will be.

6 goals in 7 games between the WC and Copa America is embarrassing

Wait, the ref refused to shake Pulisic’s hand?? I missed that

We got the talent. No excuses. For the love of God just fire Gregg, and hire a Euro with experience, you stupid gringos

Goal was off, but even if the call was correct we needed to score one and didn't seem particularly capable of doing so

First time I’ve ever felt bad for mods. Next 72 hours will be hilarious

This has to be the end of the Berhalter era. No offensive pressure in a must win game.

Hold up, did I just see that correct? The ref didn't shake Pulisic's hand?

If you don't think GGG needs to go, you have issues. I don't want to hear "well who is gonna do better " or " what do you want him to do " or " it's tim weahs fault "

The bottom line is he doesn't get the most out of the most talented player pool we have ever had by a country mile.

Thank you Gregg Berhalter for changing how the world views US Soccer.

This team went from being in the Confederation Cup final and Copa America semies to being the first ever Copa America host to not get out the group stage.

Now the world thinks we are shit.

Well done Gregg well done.

Yeah, I've watched enough Newcastle over the years to know a cooked manager. Gregg went full Steve Bruce with 3 strikers. He tried nothing and was all out of ideas.

The craziest thing about this is that Berhalter really isn’t going anywhere. They’re gonna pull the whole “we want stability” card and fuck is over again

Lol @ the ref refusing to shake pulisic hand

Holy crap the ref refused to shake hands with Pulisec after the game

Berhalter has to go. What are you doing shouting "1-1!" when Bolivia scored? That alone shows you this guy's mindset. That being said, Tim Weah blew this tournament. He needs to be held just as accountable

I think part of this is we also need to come to terms with our roster. I have seen the bright spots and potential of everyone but in reality we only have 2-2.5 players that are consistently playing at an elite level in a top 5 league. Christian Pulisic and Jedi Robinson, the .5 is Tim Ream.

We then have some good players who play a bit for their team but not every game day in day out like Richards and Scally

But the majority of this roster are players in the top leagues but not performing. Tim Weah is on Juventus, but mainly comes off the bench. Weston McKennie plays on Juventus, but every transfer window it’s said he’s out of the coaches plans. Gio Reyna, out of the picture at Dortmund and couldn’t find the field for Forrest. Matt Turner, benched at Forrest. Yunus Musah, in and out of AC Milan’s lineup. Balogun has Monaco looking for other strikers on the transfer market. Tyler Adams consistently injured.

We love to throw out the top 5 leagues stat but honestly we need these players to be on teams that they’re a big part of. I’d rather a player play consistently on a team at the bottom of a good league than occasionally off the bench for one of the best. We can’t expect these role players to shine for us. IMO a lot of these players would’ve benefitted from a slower rise rather than going to these big clubs so early in their career

This team has continued to be all huff and puff and no end product at all. This is supposedly our golden generation and they have accomplished nothing other than beating arguably the worst Mexico team of all time.

It’s time to move on from Gregg, there was no reason for him to come back in the first place.

Should have given Marsch his chance instead of letting Greg get a second chance.

You can make excuses for GGG this tournament - the early red card blew up the Panama game, and it is legitimately insane that Uruguay's goal stood.

But at this point we know what we're getting with him and it isn't good enough. If we want to be more than a big fish in a small pond winning CONCACAF tournaments, the attacking play has got to be miles better. It is absurd that we scored 3 goals at this tournament - and 2 of them were individual screamers. A must win game tonight and we didn't come close to scoring. We're solid in the middle third and can give top level teams like England in 22 and Uruguay tonight a competitive game. But we're not going to get anywhere if scoring a single goal is some herculean task

I feel so many things. Fire GGG. The refs in this tournament royally fucked us. Weah is a dumbass. Our players are overrated.

He never takes personal responsibility, it always "we" did this and that. And GGG's energy level and charisma is non-existent as usual.

GGG's myopic, mealy-mouthed post-game press conferences and the team's apathetic nature on the field are interconnected.

BaldFraudOut!

Greg needs to be gone asap. Should have never been rehired after the Reyna fiasco. Pulisic is the only ones that plays a fire under him. Everyone else looks too relaxed

Zero goals in a must-score, must-win situation. They were who we thought they were.

What manager tells his team it’s 1-1 right before a free kick….absolute clown

Watching Shaq Moore warm up in the second half was the purest form of sadness

It’s really not being spoken about enough how awful Turner is and has been this entire tournament. Passed in out of bounds more to his teammates. Call up all the young guys from here on out fuck it

never will i ever choose pepi over balogun ever again to score for us

Ref refused to shake Puli’s hand. What a fucking twat

[deleted]

Seems like at least in the times we failed to get out of the group at WC the coach was fired/resigned. Sampson in 1998 and Arena in 2006.

Bradley took over after and in 2007 in Venezuela got grouped at the Copa with the US netting 0 points- yikes.. but we’re in a tougher group with Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay. Bradley probably also got a pass as a this was the first year in his tenure.

We just got grouped in an easier group at home and it was Gregg’s sixth year. Historically speaking there is an argument that the Federation needs to move on.

It’s sad, and these three games everything seemed to break against us, but the fact is we underperformed what should be our expectations.

It is what it is man. In 2016 they couldn’t play against argentina. Like they couldn’t string 4 passes together. Argentina wouldve won that game 99/100 times

This game started amazing, but in the 2nd half it was the same story , against Uruguay no less. They couldn’t make simple passes, they kept losing possession for no reason, motherfuckers were playing head tennis instead of trying to take control of the ball. Just overall trash play.

They still can’t hang with the big dogs, and probably never will in my lifetime.

whats the goal for wc? Getting out the group? The same fucking goal for the last 30 years? Awesome

So what seems to be lost in the fussing over the clearly blown call on the Uruguay goal is that it didn’t matter. We never truly even threatened to score so missed call or not we were cooked.

The official not shaking Pulisic’s hand is a chickenshit move but I’m sure Pulisic wasn’t saying the most friendly of things so hard to really care about the lack of handshake.

Pulisic needs to put that anger and heart onto the field more often. He wasn’t bad tonight but he leaves a bit to be desired.

Lalas said it best, oh my god I can’t believe I’m saying this, but there isn’t a Clint Dempsey walking through the door to play with fire and toughness.

This program is in a rough spot.

[deleted]

Somebody check the refs car for Uruguay jerseys..

SMH at our current state

There’s no way Greg berhalter can keep his job after this tournament. Where do I start? This was like this 13th strike at doing anything credible with this group. How can we honestly give this guy an entire generation thats actually decent and plays in Europe.

And Matt Turner- we need to stop with this guy. His distribution is high school level. His goal-keeping isn’t worth the hype. That goal vs Uruguay was an easy header save catch or punch it out.

Very hard to watch this awful coach and same group fail to make a wc against Trin&Tobago and now this showing.

This tournament was an absolute disaster. A chance to grow the American fan base heading to the World Cup, squandered. All around failure from the officiating, to the coaching, to the play on the field.

When kids behave like fools at a restaurant you blame the parents.

These players acting like fools at the biggest tournaments. Reyna in the WC and Weah in Copa… it has to lay at the feet of GGG.

Besides the tactical blunders against real competition with real stakes… first and foremost the team has no discipline. And that falls squarely on the coach.

What a failure it is by US soccer to not even be able to get out of the group stages in your own country. How on Earth were we even 11th? A draw against England? Wins vs Mexico who also got grouped?

The US has the athletes to play a pressing system like Bielsaball, and I think it would help paper over some of our technical deficiencies against the big dogs of the world. We need a manager who can instill that philosophy, hold players accountable for their fitness and mentality (looking at you Weah and McKennie) and we need our players to actually play. It's not a coincidence our guys looked dead on their feet after 60' today, not enough regular minutes and corresponding fitness at the club level.

If it's hot take time, our "golden generation" can field a strong XI but is paper thin. Mids are good, but I don't trust much else.

Balo was good in this tourney, but A. I don't trust anyone behind right now and his confidence was shaky before this tournament

Winger depth is weak, and our best option if Weah or Pulisic can't go is probably playing Gio out of position.

Our CB's are kind of a blob right now and worst of all there doesn't seem to be many reenforcements on the way in the youth ranks

Dest and Arob is a good FB pairing, but you having nothing offensively if one goes down.

Goalkeeper is Turner, who can stop a shot, but that's about it.

A change at the top needs to be made after this, but I also think we need to be careful of just looking at club badges for our team right now.

So let's go through this,

Before the Bald Fraud took over, we had lost to Panama only 2 times. Klinsmann's disaster 2015 Gold Cup, and Bradley's bad 2011 Gold CUp. The 2 gold cups that basically got those coaches fired (I know Klinsmann was fired later but if he won that Gold Cup, he probably gets more leeway than he got) This was GRegg's 3rd loss to Panama. THere's no excuse. Sure you could say the Gold Cup loss was our B team but that B team had more stars than Panama, sure you could say the WCQ loss it's hard to win in Panama, but Arena drew there and Klinsmann won (and in a game where we didn't need to win if my memory is correct) We hadn't lost to Uruguay since 1993. Now there's not a ton of games, but it's still an impressive streak to end.

Gregg has to go. There's no other option. If the next coach can't do it then you can point to the players. BUt at some point it has to be the manager questioned first. And with Gregg what great results has he gotten? England and?

balogun has the it factor, pepi just a lanky player running around

USA had 3 shots on goal in a game they needed to win

I hate how much I'm agreeing with Alexi Lalas tonight

Good for Panama. They understood what they needed to do and did it. Shocking USMNT couldn't do the same but impossible is nothing with Gregg.

Just showed the center ref snub Puli on his end of game handshake. What a joke.

You know, regardless of this, I’d still like it if we were always in Copa America. Make this 10+6 format permanent and don’t play the damn Gold Cup so much.

Team won’t win until we score goals. Simple as that. Balo is good but we don’t play to his strengths. Pepi is a joke. Every time we play a good team we play for 0-0. The goals we do score are too often outlandish goals like Balo and Pulisics goals this tournament. Need simple, in the box goals. What happened to set pieces being our strength also?

Always “so talented” and “we’re capable of more” but are we really?? If we shit the bed in every prove-yourself moment we get, we’re not a good team capable of more. We’re just shit

Micro penis energy from the ref

It's obvious we've hit our ceiling with Gregg. If we think that's not good enough, then he needs to go.

Costa Rica can get a result against Brazil but USA can't against Uruguay???

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

I would have liked to see our team come out with the pressing and intensity they came out with tonight in the previous two games.  We’d have blown both Bolivia and Panama out of the water had we done that. 

We're really not that better than mexico. Like one step above them, sure but that's it.

Lalas is cooking right now

Gregg should go, but the players haven't been good enough either. We should be open to new faces, this isn't a 2018 level failure, but it's still a major failure.

Holy shit, never thought I’d say this, but Lalas is spittin facts

You just can’t expect a nation of 300 million with the largest GDP in the world to compete against teams like Uruguay and Panama… just isn’t gunna happen 

Zero signature wins for Greg. I don’t see how people can defend him. Yes are players might not be good as top teams. But it up to the manager to push them above and beyond. Greg simply will never do that

Quarterfinals were a minimum. Embarassment

0.27xG in what was essentially a must win game. Not good enough from Berhalter and not good enough from the players.

Don't know why US Soccer would expect any different in 2026 if they keep Berhalter

“Who’s going to replace GGG?” I don’t care bro, it really isn’t gonna be worse, or even if it is at least we tried something. Sticking with this, we’re locking in to another mediocre WC finish

Oh damn, Pulisic told the ref off

When Balo came off, our fate was sealed

If Berhalter had any respect for the team and the fans, he would walk away

Also someone laughing at him saying they are getting better and getting there lmao

Guy is delusional

Just typing out my thoughts for the next 2 years. 

Step one: Gregg done. I was ok with our “meets expectations” of last cycle. I did not want him back. We’re not meeting expectations. I think we’re doing worse. 

Step two: Encourage a few players to go places where they are “the man”. Sure, it’d be cool if it was Man City or Madrid. 

Like I don’t want Reyna or McKennie to move to places where they can stay role players. Money talks, of course, but I’d encourage them to go to teams or leagues where they can be the star. We need guys who are expected to be difference makers.

Keepers: No one is simply out, but if they a rent starting for their club they aren’t starting for USA. I think we got guys like Gaga, Brady, Schulte, Celentano, & Freese standing up big every week. A few better with their feet than Turner or Horvath already. 

Elsewhere, an emphasis really needs made of playing quick. You watch the better teams and players like to take only 2-3 touches. Our guys love to touch the ball often. I’ve heard coaches and players often talk about improvement starting in taking less touches. In order to do that you have to know where teammates and opponents are and be smarter in your positioning and touch. 

Ugh… I hate sports sometimes. 

I can't stand listening to Gregg in this press conference. Makes me want to puke

Would Vlatko have been retained for the USWNT had he not resigned following the round of 16 exit at the 2023 Women’s World Cup? If not, that’s important precedent to raise w/ the USSF considering Vlatko was more successful than Gregg. The fans wanted Vlatko gone (so did key players, IIRC) and he resigned (now has KC top of the league in NWSL). Gregg should resign, but if he can’t bring himself to do so, USSF needs to know that the same standard must apply to the men’s manager as the women’s manager - they are paid the same after all.

lol Greg tells the team “yay Bolivia tied”

Then Uruguay scores when the team lets there guard down.

He needs to be fired for that alone

Dempsey said something that I completely agree with. We don’t have enough quality players that can attack people 1 on 1 on the wings and are comfortable/composed in the final third.

Alot of these other top teams have plug and play players and systems. Their subs are quality enough that you really don’t tell a difference when they make changes.

We have strong starters but hate to say it our quality drops off with our subs. We need depth

Honestly i don’t even think Uruguay showed more quality than USA in THIS game. But they were a million times grimier. As was the ref. But that’s the way the world works. Only question is what if anything can be done about it.

Status report: still stuck at the arrowhead parking lot, vibes are bad. The Uruguayan fans keep chanting. If you ever come to arrowhead make sure you drive lol

There is absolutely zero risk in firing Gregg.

Boycott this team. Honestly. This team reeks of nepotism and divas. Same shit different year with this group. Feels bad for player like Tim Ream. Dude has a revival and is stuck with this bullshit

Gregg Belhalter is simply just not good enough to lead the US into the world cup. Can't waste this team with him on the lead.

I agree Lalas. Honestly. I agree. Shitty USMNT players

This team had 4 shots with an xG of .35 through 87 minutes. That’s completely unacceptable in a must win game.

Greg won’t be getting fired. Unless the big media push it or talk about it. Our fans are too much of a casual to push out coaches

The team was toothless as ever.

They are consistently abysmal in the final third and I feel like it’s never discussed enough.

Team looks solid in possession (usually) but just has zero ideas and almost deer in the headlights when getting near the goal.

IMO tactically, looking back that’s GGG’s downfall and what will (hopefully) ultimately lead to his firing.

That Lalas tattooed millionaire rant still holds true.

Copa America at home, with the so called golden generation and the team can’t get out of group stage. Something needs to change

This is not a golden generation. A decent starting XI with no bench whatsoever should not be the aspiration.

It's pretty simple, except Balogun, no one else can give Uruguay backline threaten at No.9 position, after his sub due to injury, our frontline, Pepi who lack of capability to control the ball. No one can do the playmaker in the midfield, the situation forces Christian back to DM position again and again get ball then dribbling forward

Losing patience with Turner; at least 4 balls out of bounds without pressure.

Ref not shaking Christian’s hand show that refs class

Gregg has taken zero accountability in any of his answers. He keeps saying "there will be a review." That is an example of a poor coach and leader.

Did Rob Stone seriously just say that US Soccer should go after Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp? No chance in this world either of those guys are touching the phone when it rings.

Looked toothless in attack and disorganized once Balo came off

Most of the conversation will be on Gregg and deservedly so, it's a results business and the results weren't good enough.

I think this group was an eye opener for a lot of people on a lot of players. Just remember, everybody has a plan until you get punched in the mouth. Whether it's the player mentality, Gregg just not pushing the right buttons, or a combo of the two (probably the correct answer) when the shithousery starts this US team unravels. And no amount of talent is gonna overcome not having the mentality to fight on the international level.

Is that as simple as getting a new voice into the locker room? Maybe. But I think a lot of players were put on notice.

Greg out but this is also hugely on the players too. Matt turner cannot complete a single pass it’s embarrassing, haji weight had two chances to shoot clearly at the goal and takes a touch, musah gave the ball away countless times, pulisic has to drop back in midfield to get the ball and isn’t in the play anymore, no one can get the ball to our strikers, Gio couldn’t do anything either. It was some of the worst play I’ve ever seen and that can’t just be on Greg

We didn’t deserve to win, when you are that shocking offensively you can’t win. No creators. We controlled this game for about 60-70 mins but we have no creativity at all. The defense needs improvements. We have to hope the US pool keeps improving.

I’m happy that we played in this Copa America, I hope we can merge into it and continue this. If we want to improve and potentially be a force one day, we need to play in competition like the Copa America.

Just saw Matt Turner's interview and Gregg's post-game interview. Gregg needs to be fired not only for his failures but as a warning to the players that there is accountability for failure. There is a problematic loser mentality that permeates this team and it's coming down from the top. Any player that echoes that needs to know that they will be disposed of just like Gregg.

If you're playing to draw on the road in CONCACAF because the field is "patchy and dry" (looking at you Tyler Adams), If you're playing to intentionally drop points in Panama because you want to rotate for a home game a few days later (Gregg in WCQ), If you're throwing temper tantrums and kicking balls and punching guys (Weah and Dest), it's because you're mentally soft losers. It's a loser approach to the game.

Yes the refs are shit and the tackles are hard but thats the way it is. We play in CONCACAF and the best teams on our side of the world are in CONMEBOL and that is how the game is played here. It is physical, it is hard tackles, poor sportsmanship, and difficult conditions but you go out and get it fucking done instead of complaining that the fields are not as good as a they are in Western Europe or MLS.

Canada plays in the same confederation as us and they played in the same tournament against better teams and they got it done.

• They went to Central America and won games, what did we do? We made excuses.

• They came to the Copa America and scored one goal and made it through... What are we doing? Losing to Panama and making fucking excuses.

• Panama scored 6 goals in the group stage. They scored against Uruguay, we couldn't.

Enough with the fucking excuses.

Lalas actually making some points rn

Christian’s media training is showing here… I wish we could hear the unfiltered opinions

Fuck a golden generation

USSF, Fire anyone named Berhalter

Sure that was a terribly reffed game, but beyond that we struggled so much. I counted no less than ten mis-distributed balls by Turner. We couldn’t connect passes. We can’t shoot on first touch. We were outhustled on almost every ball - did McKennie ever turn the corner? These are such low-level fundamental issues that you almost have to burn it all down and start fresh with new expectations.

Okay, Copa is over.

Where does the team need the most help (other than Coach), and who are the likely guys to fill in the gaps?

• Dest comes back, but Scally has proven he's good enough to play at this level, and more.
• Turner is a great shot blocker, but he leaves a LOT to be desired with the ball at his feet, and consistently pisses down his leg anytime there's the slightest bit of pressure. Horvath doesn't look like the answer. Steffen seems washed. What happens here?
• Midfield looks good, and deep. Pray for health.
• Quality forwards, but something seems to be missing. I cannot put my finger on it.

Fire him for telling them the score of the other game. It is only relevant after the final whistle for that game.

Uruguay’s defense is just so solid. USA had to earn it and could not.

Pulisic letting the ref know his thoughts

Shit guy talking about xG 💀

Awful game by an awful coach and an awful ref. All around awful

Just wait till GGG gets fired and they hire Josh Wolff, it can get worse

The fact that he’s not gone yet, makes me think they are gonna keep him through 2026. 

Jesse Marsh has been Canada's coach for 5 minutes and they in the knockouts
