USMNT Talk
- Thread starter MyBoyVilla
- Start date
Thinking about watching tomorrow’s USA game in the city with my 16-YO. Any thoughts on a good venue that will have a proper atmosphere?
So copa america is over for the US.. and all the talk now is whether GGG will get canned..
Was watching ESPN last night and Casey Keller brought up the US women's settlement, which I hadn't even thought about. He said even if they brought in a new coach, that new coach would need to accept the same ish pay or if they had to offer more money to get a top coach, they'd have to give the women's coach the same pay bump.
The federation will probably make a ton of money off copa america. So they'll have some money to spend. But I don't think they'll be willing to give the women's coach a pay raise just so they can attract and better mens coach.
What a debacle. All the more reason they will just convince themselves that GGG is the man for them, I guess.

I'm entirely convinced the US federation doesn't care about doing well, they just care about lining their pockets with money. And if we do well, then great.
perhaps they will care more when more of the population cares and mainstream media is putting more pressure on them like other countries. but that isn't going to happen if there is no real success with the USMNT
Really would have loved to see how that match would have played if the US were sitting on 6 points also. Cagey match? Aggressive? Uruguay would still have been able to play for the tie to top the group on GD, but it would have likely played looser.
Ah well. It's a fickle game.

I don't believe this is correct. The Federation paid top dollar to lure perhaps the best women's coach to come take the job. If they want to pay more for the men's coach, there is nothing preventing them from doing that.
Also, while the Federation did make a pile of money off the last Copa America, the deal with Conmebol is different this time around, and we will not be getting the same windfall.
While we're all wishing and hoping, I found this argument interesting. Personally, I thought the USMNT played much better under B.J. Callaghan because he let them run, press, attack and generally have fun wreaking havoc on the opposition. Maybe I watch too many Westerns, but I kept thinking of mustangs let out of the corral.
We need to lean into the exuberance of youth. Let the lads be a little wild. It's riskier and we'd be more vulnerable, but if we're going to go out, I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory than a lifeless flop.
Klopp doesn't do lifeless flop.

Klopp's potential impact on USMNT's playing style and tactics
Many soccer fans in the United States want Jürgen Klopp to replace Gregg Berhalter as head coach. They see this potential move as a way to galvanize the United States to go from an otherwise boring and lackluster team to a side with an identity. He did that at Liverpool, as the Reds finished in […]

GGG is gone.
US Soccer is a joke. They better go big and try to get a top manager.

Edit: thank you
mgarbowski . When I looked at the time Moogoo posted I couldn’t find it on any of the major news outlets (I’m also not on Twitter)

Thank you Gregg for trying to put this federation back together after the 2018 disaster, I appreciate what you've tried to do. Now let's give it (rightfully) to someone with a better shot and a better resume.

Who should USMNT hire to replace Berhalter? Analysing Klopp, Pochettino, Vieira and others
The USMNT will have a new coach in the dugout for the 2026 World Cup on home soil. But who would be a good fit?

You’re not wrong it was a big waste of words. I’m assuming someone at US soccer will be like “Is Landon available?”
“Nah but Kries is waiting for a job.”
“ Aight.”
This one is tighter.
Top 3 candidates to replace Gregg Berhalter as US coach after firing
Gregg Berhalter is out as the U.S. Men's National Team head coach after the United States' early exit from the Copa America. Who might replace him?
www.usatoday.com
Here's a name I'm not seeing a lot: Pelligrino Matarazzo. He's under contract for another year at TSG, and he's been living in Germany for almost 25 years. I'm sure he'd be a longshot if he's even being considered at all. He may not be interested in leaving the Bundesliga, either. But I'm surprised I've only seen him come up a couple times.

when i first saw this i thought the same.
not sure who they will go for, but chances of them picking someone the fanbase will be excited about is probably very slim. we need someone who will pick a team and use tactics based on our player pool, not have a system and force the players into it. here's hoping we don't embarrass ourselves even more than we already have by rehiring GGG after WC2022.
Gregg was the right man post 2018 and did a hell of a lot rebuilding the program. He was no longer the right fit post 2022 and this move should have been made then.
I’m not serious but maybe I am. He has coached on three continents including North America and has more championships than oft named candidates like Cherundolo, Curtin or Vieira.
I’m not saying I want him hired but if those guys are in the mix why isn’t he?
