Especially when the women get more money when the men's team makes more money.

[@mathewheffley121]

I mean they wouldn’t make a lot more money even if they hire Klopp. It’s not like people will pay many times the amount of money for Gold Cup tickets next year just hire Klopp as the coach. They won’t be making any major amount of money until 26 wc. They’ll make a lot of money from the World Cup no matter who is the coach. A huge salary hire like Klopp is solely a money losing move.

@@mathewheffley121 There were un-sold seats in KC for the game against Uruguay. Bring in Klopp and there's a good chance a lot of those get sold. Even games with the B or C teams would get more attention and higher attendance. The women's team gets a portion of whatever prize money the men get from the WC. Whatever money is spent to get Klopp, or another big name, wouldn't get taken from that since a certain amount of the prize money goes straight to the players. And getting just one game farther can mean a lot more money. Also the women have to know that even if they wanted to start complaining about spending a lot for a MNT coach it would be a PR disaster for them. They'd come off like spoilsports turn a huge portion of soccer fans against them.

It's a unique opportunity to coach a huge and rich country where soccer is growing in popularity at a home world cup which will be the largest, highest attended, and most financially successful world cup in history. There's a good group of players who aren't world beaters but who have the possibility to make a decent run in the tournament. A strong showing could propel the coach to recognition in the US for years to come. It would be a feather in any coach's cap, even if just from a financial point of view. The thing is USSF doesn't really want to do it. They don't want to wrangle up the money and they don't really want a foreign coach.

The men's team and women's team operate in two different worlds. They bring in different amounts of money. The economic realities of what it takes to hire the best coaches is completely different. Linking them is nothing but extortion by the women players and virtue signalling by everyone else. It was just virtue signalling by the men's team and by USSF that they caved to the extortion.

And then see what they do in terms of coaching recruitment. You have to learn to walk before you can run! And the biggest elephant in the room - why is grassroots football so horribly over-priced and low quality in this country? The biggest stars all over the world have come from the favelas, barrios, shantys, slums, etc. There is a reason why 'street football' is the best place for kids to learn the beautiful game and hone their craft. The 'club' football scene in this country is just a money-grab operation run by a bunch of grifters. The coaching, the philosophy, everything about it is second-rate. It's astonishing that despite having such a large amount of youth playing football in this country that the talent isn't coming to the surface. The biggest reason is sub-par coaching that emphasizes physicality over actual technical skills and intelligence. Some of the best players, throughout the history of the game, are not physically dominant specimens - Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, Makalele, Kante, Greizmann, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, the list goes on!

In USWNT case where they lost because they claimed they generate more money than the men, since equal pay was implemented the women have earned more money in the last 3 years than the last 15 years because they are now being subsidised by the profits of the men’s game. So the men’s team can no longer afford top coaches and to rehire GB.

[@FavreianVengeance]

It's holding USA back. F*ck that PC moniker.

[@gabrielgonzalez6456]

I believe it’s only for the CBA is for the players only. As far as I know coaches and managers are not included in the agreement.

[@LordDruez]

@@gabrielgonzalez6456 Correct, the contract does not prevent the men's side from paying a ton of money for a coach. It doesn't mean that the women's coach has to be paid the same. But, it does limit the amount of money they might have overall, since revenue from the men's side is subsidizing the women's side of the program as well.

[@eatmoremusic3650]

If US Soccer is serious about 2026, they’ve got a lot to change. Copa has been a fiasco. Hiring a real manager is high priority but not their biggest worry. The match at arrowhead was a joke

[@aaronnilestoussaint5672]

Many coaches wanted the USMNT job because it is marquee because its the biggest country in the world. And if he does the bare basic he will be praised and doesnt have to worry about being fired or huge backlash or hate. It makes sense Klopp goes to England and underperforms people are saying fire him or hes awful and gets death threats and etc. USMNT job is likely one of the best jobs off that alone. You have no pressure youre in CONCACF its an easy win to least make finals. You might occasionally go to Copa America tbh even with Greg coaching they wouldve advanced if not for Weah red card. So I disagree with people USMNT is a marquee job you get to relax no hate or threats no ones saying fire you. And you have a decent talent pool of players that will potentially be growing.

[@ericcardona3227]

Somebody tell Keller to shut up. As far as Klopp goes, I wouldn’t mind if the US hired him.

[@forshigity5000]

USA is literally holding a World cup and the future of USA soccer ZERO excuse not getting Klopp if you can

[@rodrigo53]

Coaching a national team sounds very attractive for Klopp, BUT I doubt he’d take it.

[@vitanus]

I heard a rumor that Luka is joining Alba Berlin next season. He likes Europe

[@videochannel5183]

Klopp is definitely flirting

[@davinalopez-oz1ez]

😂😂😂

[@movieskool]

where there's a will there's a way

[@haitiancreolewithluciano]

Tell that to my bank account 🤣🤣🤣

[@sebastianespinel2652]

I dream that one day the USSF will hire Carlo Ancelotti as the coach of the national team. But, you know... The budget, divided...

[@bryseisme2]

Getting Klopp is Dreamland but might as well go for it. Then after we can go for realistic options such as David Moyes, Herve Rennard, or Pellegrino Matarazzo.

[@stanleygohome4869]

Does the USSF want to win?

[@movieskool]

Jurgen Klopp recognizes the potential of the USMNT and smells an opportunity to grow his own brand. Get more corporate sponsorship and the budget will not be the problem; the problem will only be the short-sightedness and limited imagination of the USMNT administration that thought rehiring Berhalter was a great idea.

[@justanothername5199]

If you think klopp thinks about growing his brand then you haven't been listening to the man.

[@josebriceno7943]

Where are you getting that from lol

[@movieskool]

try to keep up @justanothername5199 . The German manager has recently signed a three-year deal with SPORTFIVE, a marketing agency in which Jürgen Klopp will look to further his presence worldwide. actions speak louder than words.

[@breakingdan]

“Grow his brand” 🥴

[@Sheepwillbesheep]

Nonsense. Klopp would revolutionise American football. He is that good.

[@michaelflascher360]

Throw equality out the door first then worry about another coach.

[@rockerfarm6445]

I wouldn't be surprised, Klopp is a great businessman in cooperations with german brands, behold if he taps into the US market

[@khiemtran7226]

They hired Greg cheaply: one million a year

[@user-pi4ih8rl2x]

2 million.

[@efun8334]

You get what you pay for

[@sentientsandwich1984]

who else is tired of Kaseys pragmatism

[@richardashbaugh2518]

Where would the scoring come from?

[@spsawyer22]

They should offer Klopp a blank check. Seriously.

[@alaska4joe]

Women’s charter wants equity not equality.

[@juliuscastillo922]

Klopp would never take a pay cut to coach the USMNT. Idk why this is a story.

[@LilRedRasta]

There’s ways to solve that. We could easily give him a percentage of the WC earnings.

[@willgreig4077]

If this happened he wouldn't take a pay cut, the US is hosting WC has hosted Copa and has hosted ever single recent Concacaf tournament they have the money

[@Bryannt]

there are many ways to work around salary

[@The_Loathsome]

Cope harder Madrid fan boy

[@theaquariancontrarian3316]

Heres an idea since budget is a concern and winning is a concern hire Jill Ellis for usmnt coach. 🤷‍♂️

[@memoirmystery]

I mean Keller is not wrong in terms of what rules are in place, but that rule is awful. I disagree with him saying we can’t blow any budget. There are some times you risk at all

[@roy4247]

Not a chance on Earth a top quality coach from Europe would ever want to come to the US for the current standards of soccer in the U.S. you're dreaming about how attractive that could ever be when he plays and coaches amongst the best there is around. Besides, you guys are so loud and full of yourselves, he couldn't stand the bravado.

[@Vickzq]

Still good ones around worth a try.

[@ryanhenne4520]

Kasey really turning into the old man “get off my lawn” he doesn’t seem to want to be open to any idea that breaks away from the old standard. Hate to break it to you buddy, it’s 2024, your team doesn’t need to be top 10 in the world to be “marquee” IF you have someone like Jurgen on your touch line. His name alone will draw more eyes. Don’t need to be great to get views anymore

[@imbross]

The answer is yes! Give him everything to come! 💰

[@mylifeasanadult8792]

If USSF doesn’t get rid of Greg the men’s team is gonna be a joke.

[@user-gy1pu3gq3d]

Keller is right about the pay. It doesn't matter what contract you think you signed because the women can come back in 5 years or 10 years and sue for discrimination. They already did that once.

[@setransou]

They sued and got laughed put of court cause their lawsuit had zero basis in reality. Market rules dictate salary, Not DEI BS. The only reason the men capitulated is they have massive pro contracts to back up their income. It wasn’t a big deal for them even though the men far exceed the women in revenue generated.

[@moneyindabank]

That woman knows nothing about men’s soccer.

[@sanysany5558]

she said she played in germany

[@KidMarquisDelToro]

She knows more about soccer than you. 😂

[@EricSandowedu]

IF Klopp wanted to manage USMNT getting sponsors $$$$would be a non-issue. He would be a rock star day 1. Keller tap dancing around the pay question is hilarious. Trying to say the $$$ isn’t there due to equal pay on the women’s side. Anything is possible with creative forward thinking leadership.

[@jn7891]

Just have Biden write a check. He throws money to other countries 😂

[@andrew_l1900]

Ah the continued delusional arrogance of American sports media to think klopp would even consider taking this job 😂😂😂

[@Bryannt]

money talks

[@CascadiaNow69]

They expect us to rah rah the good ol’ USMNT team onto our guaranteed R16 elimination game as a host nation. nah you jaded old fools, the American public isn’t stupid when it comes to this sport anymore. They see the best soccer on a regular basis, they know their NT doesn’t play that brand of soccer, and until we see that brand of soccer. No one is going to care. I haven’t cared since Greg was first hired the first time, and I expect nothing until we have a quality coach that will keep these divas in check

[@NoCoastRaps]

"you cant spend money with the hopes you make it somewhere else" But you can, you make investments with the hope you make it back - in this case there are tangible numbers a national team gets by going further in tournaments. C'mon.

[@NoonyJW]

Jobs too big for him, upcoming World Cup host, golden generation we need a top level manager that can handle that pressure

[@samezaber2618]

Golden what??

[@eagleeyefitness3636]

​@samezaber2618 showers obviously

[@rl7586]

You got to be joking Greetings from Australia

[@jonathansenga]

If Klopp comes to the US, the 2026 WC is ours!!!

[@ulfanfinneriksen4643]

Definetely. You are insanely lucky if you get him. He can make a big difference in the two years leading to the world cup.

[@89Ayten]

USSF will never relinquish the control that JK would want.

[@KYNG_Z0]

It’s simple of Klopp is willing to come do what you have to do to make it happen

[@Dj-vt5gr]

Gender parity should not force permanently "pegging" the USWNT manager salary to the USMNT manager salary, against supply demand market forces. Gender parity should imply that a female or a male of equivalent quality would get the same salary if hired to manage the USMNT -- i.e. same position, same qualifications, same salary regardless of gender (gender blind).

[@thepatsnumber1fan]

Klopp would make huge in endorsements in the states and the owner of Atlanta united gave the USSF 50 million of his own money to them im sure others would pitch in for Klopp like Canada did for marsh

[@AliReza-do5my]

Of course! I would dream about this

[@jillionsofcrafts6255]

As an LFC fan first and foremost, I love this idea. But given the price tag, I don’t think this will happen.

[@Irisishunter]

I think he was just being polite with it being July 4th

[@gmmcgale]

legendary pressure

[@paulmartini3425]

Just look at the Managers that Brighton has brought on in the last few years - Graham Potter, Roberto De Zerby - There are bright young Managers in the Euro Leagues that could elevate the USMNT We should go get one.

[@justinmitchell9681]

Klopp seems to be a man of character and values and as a "soccering"nation we have none of those. We are more concerned with making money in our youth programs than truly building a culture. Klopp's tweet is not a hint that he would be interested in coaching in America.

[@-jamie-9896]

I like Seb being prickly. It keeps people honest.

[@DavidSam-yd2fq]

Casey, that budget would be recouped in the first hour when the WC is being hosted here.
