USMNT - ‘23 and beyond

Yes to all of that
My only thing is I can’t get my head to go ‘ggg is a complete nimrod,…et al’
Ha made significant mistakes at WC for sure, but it has to have been in response to squad things - not just pulling stuff out of his butt
Like maybe he just saw them as tiny tots - and now he can’t do that anymore- if for no other reason than they’re not going to let him treat them like U18s
Like they’re going to make him their manager not their coach

Yeah, I don’t see GGG as a complete nimrod or failure. We’ve done good things with him. It’s just whether he can adapt and change as a coach to allow the team to continue to improve, or if we’re at the ceiling with him.

Maybe with Callahan being a GGG assistant these couple of games were trial balloons (somewhat out of necessity due to Adams’ injury) to see how the team responded to a more attacking approach. You know GGG had input. Had to have.
