Klopp got offered and rejected the job in 2 hours 😂😂

"The lebron james of soccer"- some guy on pawn stars

As someone from trinidad and tobago we would like to take full responsibility for this slow downfall of the USMNT

Welcome to CONCACAF Lads, where all major tournaments are held on U.S soil and you pay $500 for a seat in a 80k capacity stadium with a pitch that in any wrong step you can end/alter your career

As an American it’s not the coaches it’s the whole soccer federation that is holding us back especially with the pay to play. Seen many talented players who didn’t make it due to finances.

As an American, The worst part about pay to play is that soccer is the only sport who follows this rule, all other sports in the US like American football have teams that you don’t need to pay to play for, which does bring the best players out

Maxwell is gonna have a field day with this one if he upload it,isn’t he vizeh

I’m from the US. Myself and too many others are forced to pay far too much for the smallest chance that we might get to play football beyond the youth level. We can blame the national team’s lack of success all we want, and the federation and their motivations are definitely a concern for anyone involved with the game here, but in reality the grassroots system needs to be fixed to allow the truly skilled players, not just the rich kids, to shine through if we want to really progress as a footballing nation.

I am happy you highlighted the pay to play aspect. I am from the USA and there are no soccer fields near me with open goals. About 10 years ago, fields near me started chaining their goals and kicking players off unless they were part of the organized league. I find it very embarrassing and it is a major roadblock in the way of becoming a great soccer/football nation!

The reason people are unaware of the World Cup is that US Soccer does 0 promotion of International SOCCER. No marketing effort at all,

Losing to Trinidad in the 2018 WC qualifier has set soccer in America back at least 10 years

as a Canadian, having canada go further than USA in the COPA was a great joy

Americans know there is a World Cup here, more than likely Vizeh asked the casuals who look at the sport as something for kids.

As an American, I'm going to be the first to tell you that this squad is not as special as they make it out to be. Most of these players are average at best. I'm tired of the US media telling us this is a golden generation when this squad has not done anything to punch above its weight

Vizeh talking about US football I've truly seen it all

The old US teams with Howard and Dempsey were so much better and actually played with passion as a team. The current team now is a bunch of arrogant individuals that gets so hyped up here by the US media, when in reality the team isn’t that good. Yeah winning CONCACAF trophies is nice, but that’s expected, on paper your only competition is Mexico and even then they’ve been getting worse ever since the 2018 World Cup. We hear all this delusional hype here in the US…guys Greg Berhalter wasn’t going to win you anything that’s why you let him walk in the first place. Like why tf do I have to watch Alexi Lalas yap about how good this team is every year 😂. They could’ve have had Jesse Marsch who yes did bad with Leeds and Leipzig but ur telling me Berhalter is a better option. Marsch is doing more with “less” with Canada. Also seriously did yall think u would get Klopp? Tim Howard, I love you bro, one of my favorite players of all time but no he’s not leaving Liverpool for the US. And besides national team manager aren’t usually as world class as Klopp anyways unless they are old or past their best

one thing, gold cup isn't really taken seriously by the big north american teams since the nations league was created(even tho its technically the main competition) so the defeat to panama in the gold cup wasn't rlly a "historic moment" as the players in that team were essentially the US B team

Rejecting Jesse Marsch in favor of Berhalter is crazy, with Marsch they probably woudlve still lost but at least make it to the quarter or semi finals like Canada

As an England/US supporter, the contrast between my two teams right now and the positions they are in is crazy. I will forever appreciate what Greg did in revamping our team and getting us back to the WC. With that being said, it is clear that he should never have been rehired. I hope the US takes this manager search seriously and finds us someone who can give us a good run in the WC, while also continuing to develop the sport and our next generation of players.
