Welp, that was bad. Inexcusable by Weah. Pepe is Carl Hagelin on a soccer pitch.
Worst case scenario coming up: they’re going to get grouped AND GB has an excuse

It seems clear Lalas is on the same team.

I’d think Berhalter is already on thin ice. There’s an abundance of outside pressure and this will be an embarrassing result if they don’t get out of the group as the host nation. Bringing in a new manager would be easier to do now as opposed to later as they head towards the World Cup.
No rant necessary. Just disappointed. Going to five in the back at half time was waving the white flag and bound to end up in disappointment because this team is not built to sit back and defend the entire game. CCV was awful after getting subbed on and I’m not sure I can remember a less clutch striker than Pepe.
It is what it is. This group lacks a level of discipline — first Dest in the Gold Cup last year and now Weah — and cohesiveness. They’re going to get grouped in their own tournament when playing a knockout round game was the bare minimum expectation. Listening to Gregg talk about the refs and claiming the US still controlled the game was reminiscent of his delusions and excuses when they got smoked by Canada and his demeanor seems to have permeated into the locker room.
Knockout game vs Uruguay on Monday.

Still same old problem….who? They need a significant name/resume if they’re going to replace him….IMO.

9pm game….if they get beat, that might be it for GB.
Seems insurmountable already to win that…
I don’t know. I would assume Uruguay is going to play their backups as we certainly aren’t going to make up the goal difference and it would be very unlikely Panama would, IMO. So they are pretty much locked into the 1 spot in the group already so why risk your starters?
I’d like to think our A team, playing at home, and with something big to play for can get a result against Uruguay’s B team who are playing for nothing. I guess we’ll see though…
Do they though? GB the was a mid-table coach in the MLS and was fired unceremoniously from a 2nd division Swedish team. He is wholly unqualified to coach this team and only got the job because of nepotism which has really been my issue since Day One. If he was qualified for the role and it just didn’t work out like Laviolette then that’s one thing but he was never qualified and didn’t deserve the job in the first place and watching him flounder around has grown tiresome.
If we can get past the idea that the guy has to be an American or some reasonable big name I have no doubt they can bring in someone who can make a difference. Look at what Sagnol has done with Georgia for example. Don’t ask me who that is but clearly it can be done.

Regardless, they need a credible coach to take them to the next level…IMO…
I started reading this thinking you were talking about the 2024 Euros. Then realized you were talking Copa America. How is the US looking these days? My recollections are from like 20 years ago and i think "soccer" has really grown since then woth players like Mckennie and Dest being strong contributors in top leagues.
As a fan of said team, i object to the implications. We were actually in the "Superettan" (Superone) which is the second tier under the Allsvenskan (All swedish) but divison 2 in Sweden is actually the fourth division down. Perfectly logical.
Anyways we suck but regularly draw crowds of 20000 so at least it's fun
I apologize profusely, both for my implication and because GB coached your team. You seem like too good a guy to have suffered through that.As a fan of said team, i object to the implications.

Haha. Yeah he wasn't a hit. But that's standard in Hammarby so no worries.

Non-zero chance we’re watching the final games that Southgate and Berhalter manage today and tomorrow, respectively.
