[@llamayt3832]

US soccer needs to do more to promote the team and the players. Go to any country that is hosting the World Cup and they do 100x more to promote it to the people

[@matthewstephens3852]

@@llamayt3832 still feel that. I do think hosting the World Cup alone will be huge though. Just the hype and tourism nationwide and the general news coverage surrounding such a major event will definitely catch a lot of folk’s interest. I’m hoping we can make a splash at Copa America too, which we are also hosting!

[@ricopo3522]

He did an amazing job. Reality check though, the man has never had a head coaching job. Has some good ideas for sure- hopefully he has some influence in the future. A really good assistant can make/allow the manager think it was his idea 😉

[@Boys-R-Boys-and-Girls-R-Girls]

I don’t understand some people’s logic. When talking about Berhalter, everyone said the nations league and gold cup were not very important. Then when BJ wins the nations cup it’s like a second coming. It’s so much more important now lol.

who gives two shakes about colors? See the problem is people like you even bring it up in the first place, they're Americans and they're playing for America instead of being sellouts. Why even bring up what color they are? This obsession with race needs to end

How is DEST not in favor at Milan? He's fantastic

Because the Serie A has tougher competition than the Concacaf nations league, I think he should move to a mid table side in the prem, like west ham or Fulham to get more time

And he is far better in attack than defense. Thrives off games where US plays free and is on the front foot

[@loganhill6601]

I think a bunch of his issues are mental yes he isn't great defensively but we saw him stonewall people against Mexico although they kinda suck. But you saw him lose his head which I get but I think that points back to some of his other issues. I would guess his head is worse away from the USMNT where he is comfortable and has good teammates and support

[@stevenygabbyperez695]

In my opinion, our first legitimate "Golden Generation" began at this tournament. They always had the potential, but this is the first time we see a team that has this much talent and ability.

[@patrick4662]

Let’s hope so!

[@jacoblind5390]

They definitely have the potential to be. That term has different meanings for different teams. For a Germany or a France it must include a World Cup title. For a Panama it meant making the World Cup. For the US it means a decade of regional dominance and at least a World Cup quarterfinal. They can definitely do that.

[@loganhill6601]

They've always had this talent. GGG in the past just hasn't played or brought all the best players at once and also his old system prevented them from playing like this. It was hold the ball pass around back and fullbacks fly up overlap and hit a cross. Now we've had managers play Gio where he is best at the 10 spot centrally the fullbacks stayed back a bit and we played more free and less rigid because they didn't have Gregg there with his 1000 slide PowerPoint system that is too complex for a national team and hinders what they can actually do. Also we didn't drop back and defend as soon as we got a 1 goal lead we kept going.

[@MHRedStars]

I would contest, that since thus is the same core group of players, that beating Mexico in the last nations league final was the sea change for this generation or “golden generation “

[@victorkreig6089]

because 2010 never happened right?

[@CalebHerd]

Bj Callaghan is a great coach

[@docequis9796]

agreed. I think the chemistry from this group has and will continue to create great achievements. I enjoy rooting for these guys. And it's not been an easy road, which shows why talent alone won't get you there. Even in this game, missing 2/3 of our best midfielders (Adams & McKennie), the USMNT defended their trophy. Only a group effort makes that happen.

@@robbybrisco4535 shaq moore came in when we needed him and played well in mexico city but ggg should have realized the world cup was above his level. Im thankful we didnt see long during the world cup. Ggg moved the program forward but the team is past his ceiling now

[@robbybrisco4535]

@@But_Sects If by long you mean twice after being obviously the worst player on the field the first time. Then he plays him again while bundesliga starter scally is watching. Id have a hard time respecting the coach when its clear hes biased towards his guys. But I shouldnt expect anything else from the guy who didnt deserve the job in the first place. Hard to preach accountability when you were hired by nepotism and clearly have favorites not based on skill. Youre just assuming gregg isnt going to call those guys back in, which based on his history he will continue to do.
