USMNT - The Berhalter Era (1 Viewer)

[Beast]

Was thinking about that - was wondering if we wait for new manager or were you thinking something like ‘usmnt quest for 26!’?

IDK. Was mainly just thinking it’s no longer the Berhalter era from all indications.

USMNT - a shirt show 😆

Could go in multiple threads, but… here we go!

Shirt show from one vantage
Spreading manure for an eventual bountiful harvest from another 🤷🏽‍♂️

We're on to 2026.

Just last night i watched Dangerous Play ( Jugada Peligrosa ) on HBO MAx.

it dealt with the 1989 Copa Libertadores - and officials tasked with the semi and finals.

I had no idea how bad it was on Colombia in 1989. ( Escobar/MEdellin = Nacional, Orejueta bros/Cali = America De Cali )

totally worth 90 min. Crazy.

Watched this after your rec last night, and it is mind blowing. Agreed, spend the 90 minutes watching this one.

Im glad he ended up at Leeds with Adams and Aaronson. Too much of a chane getting lost in the minute shuffe with Arsenal. Pretty nice seing 3 US flags on the match player intros. Leeds needs 3 points tomorrow against NF, then a couple of tough matches against United. Pumped to see how they play from here on out.

I liked the one assistant ref from first match - basically said ( after the threat ) "yeah we will do what needed. - my life more important that this match" ( ultimately didn't have to do anything )

Sad state of affairs for a while in Colombia. I still remember Escobar being murdered after 1994 WC.

All signs point to a new USMNT manager, but it's going to be a very long process

With 2026 on the horizon, U.S. Soccer needs to get this right.

Looks like we might have Hudson through the summer

Which is fine to a degree
The only wrinkle is that even though we’re hosting Copa, we won’t get an automatic bid - so ‘real’ matches start in June

My initial thought is ‘Stay at Fulham and start’.

He’s definitely not a typical Pep-style of player (versatile, small ball), or at least he’s not shown or been asked to show that. So then I wonder if he could develop into that.

Also, I’m wondering if Pep wants more wingback involvement with service to Haaland.

Side note, Cancelo is supposedly heading to Bayern on a loan.

i think 9 times out of 10, playing time is the most important teacher
but there seem some coaches (Pep, Klopp, Arteta, others) that maybe it's better to be coached by them than to play for them

You have to like that the top club in the EPL is looking to bring on one of our promising, most key players. He's like Tyler Adams within the squad in a sense. We don't have much behind him at LB as far as quality depth (that we've seen).

Already more goals since break than we had at WC

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

pretty goal

Jurgen just signed on as the South Korea manager through the 2026 WC
