This project has been in the works for a while, and I'm extremely stoked to share it.

Gregg Berhalter's coaching résumé when he was hired:
Fired from Swedish second tier for "lack of attacking play"
Five seasons in MLS (finished 7th, 4th, 18th, 5th, and 10th in league standings)
zero trophies
zero international experience
brother of U.S. Soccer CFO

Concacaf has to overturn McKennie's red card.
There's no way he's missing the final vs Canada because of that terrible call.

It's not important, but it's kinda wild that the USMNT started a 34-year-old GK who is no higher than 4th on the depth chart against St. Kitts & Nevis when you have a promising 19-year-old from Chelsea sitting on the bench.

I really love these talented USMNT players. Pulisic, McKennie, Reyna, Dest, Musah, Weah, and all the rest. They're truly special.
It's a shame that U.S. Soccer chose to hire an average manager who was the CFO's brother, tactically stubborn, and over-values MLS.

There's no reason to expect the US to do anything at the World Cup if they can't break down a bunkered Canada team. And it doesn't matter how many Champions League players we have if our manager can't set them up well.

Netherlands star Cody Gakpo scored 3 goals in their first 3 World Cup games.
Gakpo has 9 goals in 14 Eredivisie matches this fall.
Ricardo Pepi has 6 goals in 9 Eredivisie matches.
Pepi was left off the US roster.

The

fanbase was right about Luca de la Torre, back when Berhalter preferred Lletget.

The fans were right about Tim Weah when Gregg wanted to start Arriola over him in October.

Noticed from last night: On this solo run from Pulisic, Balogun is open in the box for a shot, but when Puli goes alone, Balogun doesn't complain or show any bad body language - just gutted the shot didn't go in.

Unless Ricardo Pepi is injured or somehow unavailable, choosing to start Gyasi Zardes over him seems like a mistake.

It's remarkable to see soccer journalists praise Berhalter for "rebuilding a team from scratch", "fashioning it into an exciting, cohesive outfit", and "reconstructing national team culture".
He didn't develop Pulisic, McKennie, Adams, etc.
And didn't handle Reyna well at all.

I would make 6 changes to the World Cup roster:
drop Shaq (4th RB), add Malik Tillman
drop Morris, add Mihailovic
drop Roldan, add Alex Méndez
drop Haji, add Pepi
drop Ferreira, add Pefok
drop Long, add Brooks (or Miazga or McKenzie or EPB)

Brenden Aaronson is a good player. I hope he plays well tonight.
2 weeks ago Luca de la Torre started in the midfield against Barcelona and played well in a crucial game to keep his team up in La Liga. Starting a winger over him in midfield is... a choice.

Good enough for the Champions League, but not good enough for Berhalter? Feels like I've seen this before somewhere.
Trabzonspor decided to pursue USMNT international Haji Wright.
Negotiations with the player and his club are at the final stage. Haji Wright is close to playing for the Champions of Turkey who will be in the Champions League next season.

Josh Sargent is a skillful player who could make an impact for the

if Morris, Arriola, Ferreira, Zardes, or Roldan are on the roster ahead of Sargent, that seems like a mistake in player evaluation. Reminder he can play both up top and out wide.

I'm hearing a lot of people say Tyler Adams shouldn't start vs 🇲🇽 because if he gets a yellow card, he'll be suspended for the all-important 🇵🇦 game.
But if we rest him & then he gets a yellow vs 🇵🇦, he misses 2 of the 3 games this window.

Not only do Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman add more to the attack than Morris or Roldan, they're also part of the USMNT's exciting future.
Morris and Roldan are at their peak or on the way down. Neither will be in contention for 2026.

Find me a club or national team anywhere that pays the same for the men's manager and the women's manager.
If that's truly what's driving this decision, we're handcuffing ourselves.
Charlie Davies says that due to the equity regulations within US Soccer, the men’s team couldn’t hire someone like Pep Guardiola if they had the chance because they would have to pay the women’s coach a similar amount.
He essentially said that limits their options.

Can we play Uruguay more often?
That was EXACTLY the kind of game this team needs more of -- fast pace, high pressure, very physical, technical, creative opponent.
If we got to play those games more often instead of Concacaf, the team would look a lot different.

"James Sands and Aaron Long both give us more than John Brooks would."
"Better to have no backup left back than to bring Joe Scally."
"Roldan offers more in midfield than Holmes, Djordje, Tillman."
"Paul Arriola offers more than Josh Sargent."
That is the logic of this roster.

Jurgen Klinsmann was fired after getting 0 pts from the first 2 Hex games (Mexico home, Costa Rica away). The 2nd & 3rd hardest WCQ games at the time.
Gregg has 2 pts from his first 2 Ocho games, with significantly more talent at his disposal, against much weaker opponents.

THREAD: With so many young US talents, I find it interesting that so few of the BEST developed exclusively in US academies.
All these players either:
1) had a parent play at a high level or
2) had a formative ⚽️ experience in another nation
None has played a single game in MLS.

One downside of the USMNT being so young is that the players haven't played together much compared to other nations.

Gio Reyna is going to be more effective at helping us see out a win than Kellyn Acosta, Shaq Moore, or adding a 3rd CB.
Berhalter on why Gio Reyna hasn't played more: "I think a lot of it comes down to timing and circumstance. If you look at how the games have unfolded, we've had the lead & had to hold on to the lead later in games. The only game that we didn't have that scenario, we actually..."
