copa america & EURO 2024 soccer
- Thread starter aTUfan
- Start date
I was thinking of driving to Kansas City Monday for the USA match. But after the Panama performance, I have decided no. Too worried about leaving angry and feeling I wasted my time and money. If I watch from home, I might still be angry, but not resentful of the effort and money.
I was thinking of the same but the ticket prices are way too high for me to sit in 100 degrees way far from the field and for a game we will likely lose because Berhalter will have us sitting back and trying to absorb Uruguay's pressure, which I 100% feel we are not capable of doing effectively. I am almost wanting us to lose so Berhalter will be gone BUT I am not 100% confident USSF will do the right thing by getting rid of him and getting a real coach. I still think Tab Ramos is 100% the guy (although the LFC fan in me would love to see them go after Klopp although I know they're never paying him enough to get him to come here). Ramos had most of these guys in the youth US teams and he is a great technical and tactical coach. US soccer did him wrong by not even giving him a legit look when Berhalter was hired the first time.
Ramos would have to be a step up from Berhalter. Ryan Reynolds would probably be a step up from Berhalter.
Well, rumor is Mexico is firing their manager after their disastrous Copa. Klopp is at the top of everyone's list. I'm sure Klopp might be seeing if Germany flames out of Euros too soon and might look for a new manager. This is doubtful as, IMO, Germany has outplayed their collective talent. Don't get me wrong, they've got good players but not a group that makes you sit up and take notice. However the current manager is getting stuff out of Havertz where Tuchel failed to do so at Chelsea. He is getting performances out of role players like Gundogan. I think it will be very difficult to justify firing their manager after Euros with the way they've performed so far, and in such a dominating fashion. That leaves Klopp a pick of destinations.
The one thing the US has that Mexico does not right now is world class talent and depth. I watched Mexico play yesterday and they are just not any good...at least the US has world class talent right now and is being held back by their manager. Mexico doesn't have that same quality right now and there is no one in the pipeline to replace the mediocrity they're running out there. Must be killing Mexican fans knowing they've got co-hosting duties in 2 years and they are going to struggle to make the knockout round.

Logical minds would think so...but whose to say what happens considering the Good 'Ol Boys network in charge of USSF. I mean they were given an absolute softball to advance easily with their 1st two games. Uruguay was always going to be a challenge but it shouldn't have mattered much anyway.
Hard to imagine keeping Berhalter headed into the World Cup if he can’t advance out of this group. Like you said, it’s US soccer so anything is possible.
After the stupidity US Soccer went through last year, I can't believe they are suddenly going to do it. We aren't paying a lot, and they aren't prepared to make a godfather offer to a really good international coach because it would just up the price of the women's coach and its staff. Equality baby.
Berhalter almost had the right idea. Tillman should be our No. 10 on the left moving forward. Pulisic on the right. Musah Cardoso McKinney mid. Robinson Trusty (Ream for now) Richard Scally (Dest when healthy - interestingly he could’ve started in place of Weah tonight.)
Weah as the son of the President of Liberia is the last player on the team who should’ve reacted with emotional violence. Even worse he cries about idiots saying racist stuff afterwards. I’m for him on the pitch… pitch him off the team, that is!

Hey alright maybe we can finally get Berhalter out of here. Next coach maybe we hire someone who isn’t a ferry. No, not the frigates, I’m talking about the f*^%#*$!
I’ve just not been impressed with Reyna, not for club nor country. He runs like a girl. The body language of these guys (sans Sargent/Wright/Robinson) is lacking heavily. You never would’ve seen this crap complaining & boo hoo whining & cryin from the previous generation Altidore & Dempsey beating Spain comes to mind.
It’s hard to imagine or explain how Berhalter caved to his parents but in reality that’s just one of many reasons why he needs to be fired. Get him out of there! We don’t want him!

In general if a guy isn’t good enough to start for his club, he isn’t good enough to start for his country.
Oh wow & he puts Tillman in so late what an asshole.
Our next coach, and you can quote me on this, is going to start Tillman on the left or center of 4-2-3-1 & we will wonder just what kind of corrupt females in high school bs went on wearing blasphemous colors on the jerseys vs Colombia to mock God & getting spanked… it’s all ritualistic humiliation, it’s sicc & there’s no way around it. Thx President I’ll-bomb-ya

You look at guys like Adams, he’s good but it’s like Berhalter hasn’t watched any of Cardoso of the past 6 months in Sevilla. He has been a man among boys at this rate he’s likely to wind up at Barça or Atleti ! Adams hasn’t played what, 2 full games in 2 years?
You look at Reyna - this guy gets no run at Dortmund, okay. Fulham. He still can’t produce! How is he starting?! He didn’t score a goal all season!
Tillman, the past 6 months has been dominant at times. I saw him score off a nutmeg & he made it look so easy, it was blatant instinct! 10 goals & 9 assists. He barely plays.
USSF needs to get some no bs, hard on accountability & hard pass on inclusivity MAN (not a ferry) to come in & get the best players on the pitch. Just doing that will be an improvement.
