What golden generation? What have they done to justify the title? Playing in Europe will help develop these players, but apart from one or two most aren’t regular starters for their teams. A better more experienced foreign coach would definitely help maximise what you have though. Ideally you need someone who’s managed at international level and tournament football which is generally a lot more pragmatic than club football.

really saying dallas offense is better than the Eagles what they smoking

US system is backwards we don’t have a soccer culture we will never compete seriously 1/4 at WC is our peak when we lost to Germany in 2002 just like Nigeria will never compete in Olympic ice hooky we don’t shave the infrastructure that can produce a lebron James in soccer pay to play isn’t realistic when mls is a shit league don’t delude yourself US soccer is a mid enterprise

Canada,s game is fools gold.

We need to keep D Brown. He’s young with speed.

As always!!! our plus athletes in the United States do not play soccer, soccer is for kids who can’t play baseball basketball or football very well due to size and or athleticism sorry it’s the truth

Great signing for the Wizards.

Good vid guys but i disagree on several points, with dallas i think the loss of dan qinn and his staff (along with almost half of the starters/major role players on their D) will greatly effect their effectiveness in that area. And on offense i see them as very one sided with more dependentce on dak than ever before. With the eagles i agree that kellen moore is not the answer. He has coached two pro bowl level player's to their worst seasons in back to back years at QB. Jalen hurts is coming off his worst season as a passer as we speak. I dont see a way that they improve in that area without kelce unless Barkley is a revelation. Washington has a very talented and fress staff with a lot of experience on top of a large influx in proven talented/untaped and explosive potential. I also feel like their offense will benefit greatly from a much improved defense (players and staff). Id have them no lower than second, and im not trying to be a hommer. NY doesn't have the personal, but anything can happen and if dabol finds the right balance and the D-line clicks to get them back on the field they could be a much harder out than currently perceived. (Daniel jones pending ofc)

This interview is a joke. The guy cares about his access and so he soft-pedals everything. I am fucking sick of the culture in this country where everyone kisses each others ass and nobody is ever held accountable. The elites just jerk each other off and gate keep the truth. It's why you have a fraction of the views of real voices who all happen to be fans and aren't part of your media circle jerk.

Yes we should stop calling these players our golden generation.

Under Berhalter there are always seems to be mountains to climb. Same thing that happened with Dest when he got a red card against Trinidad and Tobago. Needing an own goal against Jamaica in the last minute of the game in the Nations League. It is not coincidental. It comes from the top.

The assumption that GB isn't maximizing the talent on this roster isn't based on "blind faith". It's based on how the vast majority of these players play and look significantly better for their club teams and then play/look worse once they arrive to play for the national team.

This is what I keep getting back to with this Gregg situation. Yes he should be fired but you are are blind if you think that Americans had the players that are at the top level.

Why do u think its called sports entertainment

"The Pewter Generation" 😅

Cmon man. U got better things to do.

Bro just get a team of Latino guys, they probably preform way better than last World Cup team. 😂

Both these young women still have plenty of time but if we’re looking at it now ones a candidate for ROTY the other looks like a swing player

I've honestly never heard them referred to as a "golden generation" until this tournament. Granted I also don't pay attention to the idiocy that is US soccer, much of the soccer press, us soccer twitter, or big soccer so maybe i missed this golden generation narrative.

The problems with Berhalter are numerous. Not getting out of the group is ridiculous. We should expect more from these players and the coach. It's simply time for a change.

LeBron is the GM of every team he goes to. That's why he forces trades that helps short term but destructive long term.

Dudeeeee there is so much I want to remarq as a Deni fan or stan whatever. But equating Deni's trade value to Bradley beal's is crazyyy. Are you telling me that Deny value while playing with Sarr next year when he would be 24 years old, would go down? Yeah waiting until the end of the contract is probably waiting too much, but you could trade Deni in a year or two if he doesn't suit the Wizards plane.

This Nepotism at work. Weak unskilled players in a nation that does not care about futbol.

Pay to play is nepotism's poison potion.

He never was responsible for the failures of the players. They promised to compete at the highest level as they came back home from club teams which did not trust their skills to get playing time. The team was con by frauds. That is not the coaching's fault. 100 % on players' failure.

The USMNT "golden generation"is pretty mediocre at best- And major Footie nations like Spain ,Germany ,France, England etc. produce this level of talent continuisly and the vast majority of those players are, average or drop off the radar after a couple of years... The next great US soccer star is mainly just US media hype Even the last great hope Pulisisc is almost irrelevamt in terms of European footballing

Other than BMitch and Doc. And cRussell for fun. Greg Hoffman is always worth listening to and one of the voices like i listed above for good stuff. hits the nail on the head with facts

The players are all comically overrated. It’s marketing

I thought the golden generation was Freddy Adu. 🤔

Don't have to like any elite NBA players...but to not respect them is coming from something within...LeBron proved himself... being a kid straight outta H.S with no hall of fame coaching...3 finals MVPs on 3 different teams ain't easy🫡🫡🫡💯💯

at our best the Uruguay loss should have been a draw. But this team underperforms when you compare on paper to other national teams.

is the talent better than previous years... yeah. but gold generation, no. A golden generation accomplish something that has yet been done or have been done in a long time. This team has accomplish nothing

Short answer: hell no

The laissez-faire attitude of US soccer dooms them. A patchwork of private hands passing players around. No central planning or control to actually develop talent. We're seeing the American NBA players undergo the same thing. AAU ball is eroding talent pools and Foreign born players are dominating the league. Within 10 years, US basketball will also not be top 3 in the world at this pace.

The entire reason I stopped rooting for the Lakers. Been a die hard fan since SHOWTIME… even the shitty years before shaq. The shitty yrs post Kobe. But this… I never liked Lebron and Davis. Couldn’t accept them

Fools gold generation........

Portland fan here...we're still tanking.

8:11 every single national team system plays this way. Every single one. The issue is that our players are not good enough to play a single system because the talent pool is so disparate and discontiguous that you can’t play a single system. Kids have to pay $10-15k to play for a decent club disproportionately favors kids with money rather than the players with the best talent. Kids in Europe don’t have to pay for academy teams. They don’t have to pay for travel or hotels. You can just develop talent rather than make sure you are getting your checks from the parents!

6:36 Calvin Phillips will be playing for Man City by 2030!? The majority of academy players never play for their team!!! So not 1% of academy players play pro. To say he should be playing for Man City is absolutely blind faith.

No! Not even Pulisic has any quality outside of being surrounded by players who are clearly better than him. He is a standout against CONCOCAF teams but he was pedestrian and poor against Panama and Uruguay. The US is just bad.

No they are not, a bunch of overhyped walking marketing campaigns that have yet to beat a top 20 country

The reason why the US will win nothing is because of how you overhype and overrate your players. There isn’t a single player apart from MAYBE pulisic who is anything for their club. I guess Tim Ream can get a shout but he plays for Fulham so…. Not exactly top quality. All these players are bang average but Americans refuse to see it. You all talk like Reyna is some incredible player. He can’t even get a game for FOREST. Who were fighting relegation. Once you realise how so far below par your players are, you’ll accept that this isn’t a golden generation and won’t ever get further than maybe a round of 16 in a tournament and be severely outplayed by vastly superior nations.

No they are not. Results. Looks at results. Sorry that’s the truth

Hoffman, everything is cool. Im personally think Deni was the best draft pick the Wizards have made since Jhon Wall, people can think differently but I personally believe he HAS All NBA potential. He’s a really good work ethic and he’s only in the start of his uprise. Far from finished product. That’s where Dawkins was wrong on his evaluation IMO.

The USA for some reason cannot figure out how to assemble and coach a world class team. You would think by now, the US would have figured it out

I don't hate the wizards, but when you trade your only high basketball IQ guy, it makes the games more boring. And we got a bunch of gambles in return, because god knows how many draft busts we've seen

I think the move stunted both the Wizards' and Deni's growth

Craig, you're giving millennial. Stan is not that serious of a word. The origin story is correct but the use case of stan can be broader than the Eminem version of it. It can also be used for things and not just people...."I stan burritos" not trying to argue your overall point but as a 27-year-old voice of the youth, I wanted to help

I love this woman. And I love the whole Aces team. Angel Reese is my #1 though.
