I've said this many places. International coaching jobs are not highly sought after. What most teams get are one of 4 things. 1) Inexperienced, unproven coaches. Argentina and Colombia are good examples. These are your stars rising before they rise.

I hope this is appropriate. If it's not- I'll delete it. I miss Daryl Grove's voice in the US soccer community. His voice was unique, positive, and reasonable. You could depend on going to him and finding that rare uplifting take. I'm drinking a toast to his memory tonight.

Everyone complaining about Long and Zimmerman like its an addiction. It's 4 years ppl. Whether you like them or not- they'll probably be phased out by the next WC. Chill a bit. Same as beginning of last cycle. Final roster is 4 years in the making. This is first month of that

At this point it's an excuse at this point. Tuchel is a really good tactical manager but his personnel management is just weird. I think he simply prefers Werner and only really good form by pulisic or horrendous form by Werner forces him off it. Pulisic needs to push for a move

All this talk of needing a "signature" game. This is our record. 18 loses and 1 underdog win. All this complaining about the US national team seems to be either fans with short memories or newer fans that don't know how far we've come.

record vs 🇧🇷: 1-0-18 (WDL)

Those calling for Weah at the 9 seem to be missing all the great things Jesus did to create the first goal and press. Also missing why Weah looks good on the wing. he wouldn't' get to use that speed or powerful shot as well as the 9.

the future of US soccer hopefully means a lot of hard decisions not just on the starting XI but the 23 man roster.

My take on the struggles the US is going through. In the WC , the USMNT really leaned on MMA. It was under appreciated how dominant they were in range & ball winning. They were so good. They were also surprisingly press resistant and so the ability hold and build out was good

So when I hear Poch wants Pulisic, this is why. Its central in transition... this skill to turn a press into an open transition attack is special if anyone wants to harness it. IMO- this is his superpower even more than his LW attack and 1v1 skills. Central & almost as an 8/10

Ziyech is a high reward, high risk player. He always has been. He takes lots of risks. Then they pay off he looks elite. When they don't, he looks less than average. That just seems to be his game.

This is a pretty odd opinion tbh. He's succeeding bc the org is invested in him and the manager/team depend on him. They're not going through a million coaching changes. Chelsea was and is a mess. He's never shown any sign of shying from competition.

When I talk about players choosing well when they move clubs, this is what I'm talking about. I think everyone in every career gets pulled by big names, big salaries, prestige(titles) but success often comes in finding the right talent-opportunity fit. Pulisic did it. Gio's turn
🗣️ Christian Pulisic on Stefano Pioli:
"He has really come through on his promises. It's not just knowing you're going to play — it's having someone who really spoke to me before and really wanted me to come in. He's given me an opportunity to go out and be myself the best way I

I am excited for this. I was hoping for more of it last season.
🔄 Christian Pulisic is being used as a number 10, not a right winger. This central role allows him to move to either flank, use both feet, and provide more assists. ⚽

I see too many complaining about the Reyna sub. They were up by 3. The kid's not getting regular matches for his club. He went 90 the game before. He has hammy issues. Is playing in heavy mud and they go down to 10 men so they'll have to run a lot. Yeah- he comes off the field

I'm convinced most people who judge managers have never led anyone or anything. Coaching/Managing is more than tactics and player selection. (Berhalter's tactics have always been good, imo). It's also about man management. Relationship management. It's about culture management.

This ls like a Berhalter game. They came out with a good gameplan. They looked very good in the first half and used a lot of tactical nuance that I like. But one team made halftime adjustments... and shut down what we did well in the first half. I'll have to rewatch to see how

I agree with this. Nothing has happened in this tournament to signal he should be fired. They are in a hole because Weah did something incredibly stupid. Now go win the damn game.
Confirmation that if the US happen to lose to Uruguay and fail to qualify for the knockout stage of Copa America Gregg Berhalter will continue to be the coach
“Zero chance”of the Federation making a change at this time
People need to just accept the fact that he’s our coach

@CFCLefty
He looks the same for the USMNT- even against quality opposition. What happened is he's spent multiple years with a manager who didn't value his profile. Time with Potter would be good. Will he or Potter want to take that risk- I have no idea. But he's the same player imo

I'm torn on Weah. 1) He's produced in big moments. 2) He has qualities no one else hand and so has been dangerous every game. 3) He's where attacks and possession consistently die with bad touches and questionable choices.
Scally isn't Dest, but I'm coming around on him. I thought Weah was his usually great self on the wing vs Bolivia. As a winger, I think Weah has actually been the most consistently dangerous player for the

IMO- Greg Berhalter has been one of the best managers the US have had. He accomplished a hell of a lot. He rebuilt the roster after the lost generation. He implemented a professional, top of the line tactical system in the international game & worked (impressive).

Another note that will mostly go without calling it out- Ernie and Berhalter carried themselves with complete professionalism and a complete lack of cronyism through this. Nothing was hidden. Formal investigation was conducted. Results seem openly shared.
I just finished reading the Alston & Bird report. It works out well for U.S. Soccer. Some reactions
- the accounts from both Berhalter's were mostly accurate. The incident was isolated and they didn't cover it up.
- U.S. Soccer had no procedures violated in hiring GB in 2018

I know this isn't popular but GB has the right tactics. We have 2 differences. 1) Players aren't as good 2) We don't have the depth to only play guys in form. Where an elite coach may help is 1) better training on the same tatics and 2) better adjustments in tight games.

If Pulisic said nothing then people would be saying he’s silently agreeing with Gio and Berhalter out mentality. They would be saying all the pro GB players were only MLS. Now that he’s upsetting their belief’s system, they are trying to say Pulisic shouldn’t be talking.
