“I want to thank Anthony Precourt” the only bad thing that came out of Gregg’s mouth during the Press.
We waited a YEAR. A year after the most humiliating event in US Soccer history that made us a laughing stock and we were told (lied to) that the federation who let things spiral out of control would slowly but surely rectify what went horribly wrong. A year of promised changes by a new president being voted in at the start of the year – after 10 years of Gulati running the ship on his own with SUMafia executives – followed immediately by vague statements and little to no actions being taken. A year of these same MLS/SUMafia executives masquerading as US Soccer officials who have the well-being of the sport in this country as its priority telling us that things will get better and that there’s nothing wrong with the system that failed to produce domestic players that can beat Trinidad and Tobago in a world cup qualifier – to qualify to the world cup from a joke region made explicitly to send Mexico and the USA to the world cup. A year of being told that there’s a new bureaucratic "process" in place by US Soccer that will ensure the best possible managerial candidate will be chosen for the rebuilding project ahead but only to slowly find out that far more qualified international candidates were never interviewed while the same mediocre American MLS coaches are time and time again listed to be favorites by the masturbatory pro-MLS/SUMafia cabal of journalists that US Soccer permits to leak information for them (Grant Wahl, Jeff Carlisle). And the number one candidate is some American MLS nobody who’s worshiped as the American Pockhetinno even though he has a history of mediocrity, starting his managerial career managing a Swedish second division team into mediocrity. The same candidate who’s also unsurprisngly close to a top US Soccer executive – that being his own damn brother.
This is just unacceptable. Unacceptable that US Soccer still wants the same mediocre MLS national team managers picking the Zardes’, the Bradley’s, the Altidore’s, the, the Morris’, the villifana the Trapp’s. Unacceptable that the federation refuses to budge an inch on fixing the deep systematic issues in place in this country that led to world cup qualifying catastrophe and unacceptable that the same federation sleeps too close with MLS/SUMafia executives – so close in fact that a US Court acknowledged in the NASL US Soccer lawsuits that US Soccer does indeed intermingle too close with MLS – and ensures that an MLS propagandized narrative is maintained.
I just can’t sit here and root for this team if they end up going for Berhalter. I don’t want the national team to fail but I honestly will never be satisfied until we hire a proven international manager picking the best possible players of the pool – most of whom undoubtedly play in Europe. I might be bitter about this but I’ll admit I will be happy if I see a Berhalter MLS heavy US side get destroyed by another team – just as an "I told you so". change my mind
What a shambolic press conference. Berhalter is low rent garbage.
All I'd like to know is just how exactly was Gregg Failhalter even considered for the job?
– No great coaching experience
– No international soccer experience
– No organizational experience
– No "Star Ego" management experience
When the entirety of the US Soccer needs to be deeply restructured, just what exactly are Failhalter's credentials to even make him eligible?
This whole process was a disgrace and revealed that the only interest of US Soccer is $$$… And they are going to plunder as much as they can before the inevitable implosion.
Another lost opportunity, another lost decade,
Cheers.
Hyped about this appointment tbh. Give him a chance. On paper he’s the most competent and modern coach we’ve had
Huge word of advice, it's time to RAISE the Energy ⚡️ level! And while you guys are at it, it's time to start kicking some ass!
Success will be measured by winning the Gold Cup and making it to at LEAST the round of 16 in 2022. Anything less and this is a failure.
Bad move. Sorry Tab
My Problem Isnt With Berhalter
My problem is with US Soccer. From the Federation, to the coaches, to the players, to the media and even the fans, who still just do not understand why people are so turned off by this program at the moment.
When this story broke over the weekend, immediately, the media began spinning the hire as "not establishment" and to forget that Berhalter’s brother is the COO of US Soccer. They want you to believe that this was a thorough hire with no conflicts of interest.
Lets just come clean on this for once. Anyone that believes Berhalter’s brother didnt have a say in this is just a fool. And if you truly believe that, I have some snake oil to sell you.
US Soccer continues to operate as an old frat boy country club. You have to "be in the in" to get into a position of power. Berhalter might be a decent MLS coach, but this hire stinks of conflicts of interest.
US Soccer will never change, never. This hire is nothing different than what we have been through the past two years. Berhalter was hired in house to replace the coach who was hired in house ( Sarachan), who replaced the coach that was hired in house ( Arena).
The US Soccer chain of command is like an old Sicilian Mafia family. You need a venn diagram to connect the dots on these people. They are all connected, a lot of them are related to each other.
Pay to play has ruined this program. The money isn’t going in the right places, and the kids are not getting the proper development necessary to transition to the highest level of soccer. For the people who dont think its a big deal that we haven’t fielded a mens Olympic team in two cycles? Please, get a clue. Thats two cycles of players that have gone to waste, none of those kids transitioned to the senior team. We have some promise in the youth ranks, but in general, its not transitioning to the senior level. Its no coincidence that most of our best players, immediately went to Europe ( Pulisic, McKenzie) and were the ones who actually transitioned to the national team. Pay to play and improper coaching and development has ruined this program.
US Soccer fired Gulatti, and replaced him with another US Soccer stooge. Who then hired a bunch of yes men to run the program. We have a useless GM who’s job is a joke, and literally anyone with passion for soccer could do.
This joke of a GM then took a 1 year hiatus, and noone could find this clown, as he hid under his desk while Arena’s right hand man ( literally) ran the senior team for over a year. The fact is, they knew who they were going to hire a year ago. Berhalter was who they wanted, Berhalter wasnt going to leave till MLS season was over.
This coaching process was a sham, and to not have a coach for over a year was just awful for any development for our team. We are truly run by a bunch of fools, running a ship with no rudder.
The media should of been blasting US Soccer after they failed to qualify for the World Cup, they were ultimately silent. They should of ripped US Soccer to shreds for their sham of a coaching hire process, that saw Arena’s right hand man take charge for over a year. Not a word from them. And they should of pressed and exposed the Berhalter hire as a hire from within, with conflicts of interest written all over it. Literally, the story is right there for them. Berhalter’s brother is the COO, and they waited a year to hire his brother. They media was too busy planting their noses so far up US Soccer’s ass that they have missed golden opportunities to expose a fraudulent, corrupt organization.
Anyhow, good luck to Berhalter. Hes going to need it. I think the majority of fans already want him gone, and most fans understand the joke that US Soccer has become.
They took too long to hire a coach, so Oscar Pareja went to coach Club Tijuana. He would have been an excellent choice because of his eye for talent and his tactics.
Garbage hire. Tata Martino was on the board and they wouldn’t hire a great, reputable coach. Instead they go for US Soccer executive Jay Berhalter’s brother. Stinks of nepotism and incompetence at all levels. This is why the richest country in the world, with 330 million sports-crazed people, still can’t field a competitive soccer team. Far too much bullshit, banana republic-esque third world politics.
