USMNT Eliminated Early in Copa América: Is Berhalter to Blame? | Morning Footy | Golazo America

In the 2024 Copa América, Uruguay defeated the USA 1-0, marking the first time the USMNT has been eliminated in the group stage in 20 home tournaments. This result has significant implications for the state of US Soccer, raising questions about the team's future direction. The USMNT's elimination after the 1-0 loss to Uruguay has sparked a debate on whether Berhalter is the root of the problem and what he got wrong in this match. Additionally, there is a discussion on the type of manager that this USMNT squad needs moving forward.

[@jeffwarfield6125]

Berrhalter was SO PUMPED to tell his team Bolivia was 1-1 with Panama and a draw might be enough in a must-win game. The game wasn't over and anyone that knew that matchup knew Panama could and would most likely score more, because they had to. So what is the point of even trying to communicate that? To get your team to not go for a win in a must-win game? Guy played for a draw in the Panama game and it was awful tactics that backfired. Guy tried to communicate to his team they should play for a draw against Uruguay in a must-win game and they scored seconds later. What a manager.

[@LexWil7]

Facts. Casuals and pundits overhype this squad of decent players that should be playing a different type of football. Yes, the coach should be fired because he can't get the best out of this group in a tactical sense, U.S has a limited repertoire when it comes to game plan just push and play direct passes, but also in a managerial sense because this team has a weak mentality which they showed both against Panama and against Uruguay. A coach from another country with more experience and tradition could be a better solution as long he can shake the foundations of American football by working all the way down to U17.

[@vernalbug]

This is why I never saw Christian Pulisic as our "star" player. He's never stepped up when needed, never made vital goals, or pushed his team to step up. Sure he plays in Europe but he doesn't do anything there either.

[@jrcanuck1]

You guys keep talking as if the fact that the U.S. was the home team was a big deal. Of course it's a HUGE advantage; but the U.S. play around 95% of the games at home & then people wonder why they can't handle adversity. This U.S. team was terrible on the road in the CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2022 World cup & ended up tied with 4th place Costa Rica for points (Canada was #1). They will mostly continue to play at home until the next CONCACAF qualifiers that they will be involved with in 2030 & believe me, they will struggle badly once again, because they will not know how to handle the adversity at all. You also talk somewhat arrogantly about Panama like it should have been an easy win for the U.S. I have news for you. Panama have a pretty good team & they are well coached & well organized. Part of the U.S. team's problem is that the U.S. players keep being told by the media, fans & podcasters that they are 'The Golden Generation' & that they are a lot better than they really are. Yes, they play in European leagues; but , as was stated by your panel, only a couple of the players have been really successful there & even Pulisic struggled badly until this year. Oh yeah & it's not all Berhalter's fault either. You guys need to give Panama & the rest of CONCACAF a lot more respect, instead of acting like you are way above the other teams. Try be at least a little humble America. It will actually help you improve in the long run, because your team still has a very long way to go before they can be competitive with the big dawgs...

[@digby7404]

I get putting SOME responsibility on the players but come on! For the last 20+ years coaches for this nation have been able to punch above their weight. Bruce Arena made it to the quarter finals of a World Cup and was a missed handball away from a semi final. Bob Bradley upset Spain to make it to the Finals of confederations cup and then Kilnsmann made it out of a World Cup group with Ghana, Portugal, and Germany and additionally made it to the semis of Copa America. All of these coaches were able to get the most out of overall less talented players than we have now. Berhalter at his best has done the bare minimum of what’s expected and at worst has been grouped in what was one of the easiest groups. He has NEVER punched above his weight.

Canada was #1 in the 2022 qualifiers too, while the U.S. tied 4th place Costa Rica in points.

The biggest problem with football in the US is that you don't have relegation and a proper pyramid of merit. All your sports are the same, if losing has no consequences then winning has no value, it's just entertainment wrapped up to look like sport. Without the competetive culture you find in Europe/SA then you'll never really strive and never achieve anything. Of course the US has players that play outside of the US but you just don't have the long term cultural perspective to understand how international tournaments operate and how extremely difficult it is to succeed. Even if you have a great squad and a good manager so many things have to go right and just a few things going wrong can derail everything. I've watched football for 50 years, if theres one thing I've learned from constant disappointment, there's always next time, keep the faith and enjoy the moments.

The USA must must must get out of the individualistic D1 college mindset. It's starting with MLS academies but my goodness it's taking a looong time - if a player shows any kind of serious talent at ages 11 through 15, that player needs to be scooped up into a FULL time professional club development system. Period. No more middle school. No more high school. No more college. You are now a professional footballer - sure things will change, you will grow, your body will change, you may get slower, you may stop growing, but you also may get faster, you may get quicker!

They keep saying well what minutes are they getting? Well you complain if they stay in mls then what do they do

[@universem2978]

Usmnt needs a foreign coach we just don’t have a coach of the caliber needed to win international games. We also need someone with the cajones to keep discipline in the team.

6:45 to say the first half was promising wasn’t watching the game with any objectivity. The US never threatened the goal. The xG was .09 meaning an own goal was the only way we were scoring. The xG for the entire game was less than .3 and that came from a foul against the Uruguayan keeper when his arm was stepped on when the he also to retrieve it. Most likely would have been called back (given the ref, who knows). Uruguay didn’t come out to play slow or control the game in the first 20 minutes. Play hard and let the US run through their adrenaline and then control the game. That’s exactly what happened. Holland vs Romania was the exact same game. Horribly outmatched, Holland held the back pretty tight and just let Romania come at them for 20 minutes and then completely took the game over. That was an Uruguayan side who weren’t playing a knock out round and they dominated us!

Look at the players!

[@marinamendes5495]

To Win a game you NEED score a goal. Idk if the coach or the team knew it.

[@vibin1187]

This is literally a lesson and a warning for next World Cup hosted here in the US. We need an elite coach

[@LuisGarcia-sm6tk]

Balugon Haji. Pulisic. Sargent Tyler. Mckennie Robinson Ream Richards Scally. From now on if you're not scoring, this is a must do formation.

[@1972dsrai]

Not really surprising if you’re losing to Panama despite being a goal up. In game management was poor. You were never going to beat Uruguay yet fans are moaning about the goal, yet ignoring they needed to win, but never looked like even scoring. I think there were only three shots on target. This against a team that didn’t even need to win and could even afford to have lost.

Come on folks Gregg has two years to get it right. Truth is there are no more minnows in the world of football. German was at home and it just got bounced.

[@madnessontheisland]

The USSF rehiring Gregg Wifekicker in the first place is unforgivable. Now that the team sucks out loud with a home World Cup looming, people are finally waking up to the fact that he should've been gone a long time ago.

[@RufusIngram753]

2 years after the last Copa America we didn't qualify for WC. Things change in both directions I guess

[@derred723]

These players don't all play in Europe. Most sit on the bench in Europe. Christian, Robinson, Weston play. And if Weston played well enough he wouldn't be on his way out of Juventus. He was the only option that's why he played. Weah, Musah, Turner mostly sit on the bench. And the ones that are on the US bench that play are mostly playing at a bit lower standard. But hey i'll give them credit. Unlike turner they do play and can use their feet.

Damn, these guys didn’t hold back with that was a scathing indictment of a bum-holder’s incompetence and the overrated US roster who has none of the grit aggression and attitude of past US teams that forced their ways to wins against superior talented nations.

You sacked berhalter spent months looking for his successor and his successor was himself, have some shame US Soccer.

[@bluhue123]

It's impossible for Gregg to take the USMNT to the next level when as a coach and a player he never been there. He is as mediocre as the rest of them. They need to start all over agin. New players, New coach. New system. New mentality. New everything. let's go...

[@rogeriopenna9014]

Uruguay: 3 million people. They have less population than the metro area of Porto Alegre, the capital of the southernmost Brazilian state, that borders Uruguay and Argentina. Uruguay is irritating but you see they give their lives in the field. I am Brazilian but quality by population, Uruguay is incredibly ahead of Brazil.

[@Buckshot99]

When you are considered to be underperforming, that is on the coach.

[@ZingaroXIV]

Nico made a good point about the toughness and mentality of earlier - and less talented - teams. I have no idea what Berhalter is like in the locker room or classroom, but his demeanor and personality on the sideline and in interviews is pure milk toast, bland, dishrag. And THAT persona carries through the whole squad. The few world class players on the team - Pulisic, Jedi and maybe one or two others - demonstrate the energy and focus and toughness on the pitch. But it's 11 players for 90 minutes and it just never rises to the level needed to win. USMNT needs a new coach, a benevolent firebreather, who can light a fire and develop creativity and team identity.

[@inigomontoya4032]

Fire the coach and tell pulisic to grow up. Whining about a referee instead of admitting you had ZERO chance of winning because of the players as well. You didn't nor are you good enough to win on the international level. At best, the players from the Usmnt are bench riders on actual good European teams.

[@PaulC112]

"Golden generation"? lmao Americans and american media really need to stop with that nonsense. A golden generation is a team that actually does something. You keep putting your team on a pedestal. That needs to stop

[@montanaprime]

We are a baseball nation, I am happy with that.

[@dana8282]

Stop this "golden generation" thing. 😂 they all mediocre bench warmer in europe

[@mw7851]

4:05 that's finally a rational take regarding the US goal for the WC '26: inspire the nation. Instead of continuously talking about 'we have to do this or that and then we actually have a chance to win it'. You're setting completely unrealistic expectations and part of your audience doesn't usually watch soccer and relies on your good judgement.

[@videochannel5183]

The USSF berhalting progress

[@mrb6309]

Here's something we can work on immediately: remind the players that they are being videotaped and to not hit players from the opposing team. How about that? Can we at least get that right? uh? Also, there seems to be a sense of entitlement coming from this team as if they beaten teams like Brazil and Argentina on a consistent basis. - YOU HAVE NOT - play accordingly!
