I don't watch soccer at all
Can someone give me a quick summary of this Copa 2024
Does the USA have a chance of winning it all ???
USA men's team is ass. Athletic with no skill except for pulisic.
We bout to 1, 2, 3, Cancun later tonight unless they pull off the upset vs Uruguay.
I wish there was more scoring in soccer
I'm sitting here watching this Mexico/Ecuador match like.....
True. But soccer is an acquired taste, especially for the American audience. It's about the game within the game, similar to football actually.
It's funny because alot of ppl outside of America make the same complaints about football (boring, not enough action, etc.).
I think the dumbest thing Americans do attribute other physical values from other sports to football. The beautiful game doesn't need you to be the most physical, stop trying to coach for physicality, stop micro managing players, let them express themselves. Stop over coaching players. Most academies overseas allow mistakes and don't really start coaching players until 14/15 years. Stop comparing football to other popular sports in America
Kudos, , non football watching Americans are talking
I think he should, the team is horrible. US team is really bad, they have grit and athleticism, that's about it. Reminds me of Jamaican national team. The coach is actually getting the best out of a horrible team.
Right now a suitable goal for US Soccer is to make the qtrs in the next WC in 2026.

7/10 times the most physical team wins though, which is incredibly important in cup football.
What you said makes complete sense in a league format where there are 30+ games before a winner is decided and you face many distinct challenges. In a cup situation though the dominant force will always be physicality. Look at the Euros for example. Kante is the only reason France is still in. Nico Williams for spain, Musiala for Germany, Leao for Portugal. These are dominant forces. Hell even in a loss yesterday Doku looked most likely to do anything.
The only sport in America right now where mediocrity gets rewarded.
This is why we'll never compete with the world's elite.
With 2026 right around the corner, there’s no time for anymore foolishness. The federations only job this week is to sack that mistake of a re-hire in Gregg Berhalter and find a suitable replacement. These players and this country, deserve a better manager. One who can exploit their talents and win games.
I’ve always stated that once Jose Mourinho gets ahold of a national team, it’s a wrap. He’ll win some World Cup’s and tournaments as he’s the cup specialist. Not so great with 30+ game seasons these days, but 7 game tournaments?
He’s lights out.
Shame he went to Fenerbache. If i’m US Soccer this morning, and he were remotely available, I’d throw the bank at him.
I still see him taking portugal after this tournament.
His tenure will be short just like Klinsmann. He's going to want to revamp the entire system just like klinsmann.
The US soccer federation is the problem. They want to keep the $$$ rolling in. As long as it's pay to play, they will remain with the status quo.
If Jose comes to America and is allowed to do what he does best, ALOT of executive level jobs will be eliminated. ALOT of mediocre players will not play at the youth levels. ALOT of youth coaches will be fired.
It's too many ppl tied into $$$ to stop the gravy train from rolling.
You’re not wrong, sadly.
Pay to play is the biggest obstacle standing in the way of this countries success and US Soccer knows it.
They just don’t care.
Columbia & Brazil going at it. No chance US would challenge either.
This match is the best of the tourney
Not a chance in hell
It was a big mistake to rehire Berhalter. I never have been able to figure out his system so I'm sure the players are just as confused.
I really thought they'd go after Martínez. Maybe he wanted no part of this shitshow.
In any case, US Soccer is to blame. They have no direction whatsoever and until they put someone competent in charge they never will.

Columbia beating the brakes off of Panama US is trash under Gregg
