USMNT - ‘23 and beyond
I still believe we are mostly headed in the right direction and that GB moved us in the right longtime direction (where we were going before was unwatchable).
Im not singling you out on here, but Ive heard this more than a few times, and I just dont get it. Concacaf is trending down right now outside of the US. Its easily the weakest region on earth outside of oceania. Hell even we are down after this copa disaster. Mexico is in transition, same with Costa Rica, Panama simply played classic Panama style at Copa and got the red card from Weah. Jamaica has some potential. But overall, we should be winning tournaments in this region. So Gold Cup, Nations League.....the talent on the pitch couldve won those with anyone. And did with an interim.
All he did was play usher with this generation of players. He just wants to play out of the back, and launch crosses. Its a simple style, and every time its met stiff comp, or a manager with any kind of tactical knowledge, he has no answers. There is a bit of shift happening with defense and possession on the intl level. But that doesnt suit Berhalters style either.
In tournaments outside of Concacaf, his teams scored 3 goals in 4 games at the WC, and 3 goals in 3 games at Copa. Thats just, a problem.
