Imagine a time when someone might pick up a phone and have a conversation to clear the air. What could go wrong when your potential reconciliation is mediated by popular platforms in the "attention economy"…
I like Gio and everything. He’s a great young player and blah blah blah but you guys are acting like this dude is Messi or something. This guy can’t go 5 games without getting injured.
This is all being completely overblown. Everything will be fine. Gio will be back when he’s healthy and playing a big part with the team. Gregg doesn’t just hate the kid for no reason.
Berhalter should have never been brought back. He was a good coach for after the failure to qualify for the world cup in Russia 2018, and for the last World Cup in Qatar. However, now he's damaged goods, and I doubt he'll ever be able to repair the relationships on this team. Additionally, he isn't the tactical technician that's required for this young team going forward. This generation of players with the right coaching has the opportunity to be our "Golden Generation" over the next two World Cups, with an opportunity to progress deeply into the tournament and perhaps take a medal, but I don't think that Berhalter has the experience, knowledge, or personnel skills to take this team to that next level. If he was that type of coach he would have had club offers pouring in from around the major leagues in Europe, or other national squads, while the USNMT was deciding his fate. The fact that none of that happened shows how poorly regarded he is around the world, and that's the bottom-line.
The fact that GB has not yet addressed this and put this behind the USMNT says all you need to know as to why we shouldn’t have brought him back. It remains an issue bc GB has not yet addressed it. Stevie is spot on.
Berhalter with this window is kind of like a guy that got a snow-day when he was about to flunk a test. Yeah it's a good roster but the big question he gets to delay and buy time with again. That guy had MONTHS this summer. That the USSF bungled this so badly is embarrassing. Nicol is totally right. Berhalter seems to do all these weird 'corporate executive leadership' nonsense… it's a fking football team. 😅
Bringing Berhalter back was dumb, especially someone who already has a bad relationship with one of the team's best young players. Not to mention he failed to make critical adjustments in the world cup. Doesn't make sense.
I know Gio is immature, I don't care if I catch flack for that I am just calling it like I see it. But dammit Gregg, why him? If you want to feud with one player – why can't it be like Jordan Morris or Paul Arriola? Why's it gotta be the future of the team???
USMNT is going no further the round of 16 with Berhalter. This national team is mudded. I can’t believe he was brought back, and he STILL hasn’t resolved issues with Reyna
This is on GIO not the Gregg! GIO is the spoiled child that needs to be treated like a little princess for why??? Cause he bitched about not playing when he was clearly not in good shape. I personally think it's good not to have him around tbh he is trouble!
Only the us federation could fumble this spectacularly. It’s getting kinda impressive when you think ab it. Medieval priests eat your hearts out, this level of self-flagellation is next level
I went from us hoping to win the Copa America to now hoping we get blown out every game if it means Berfarter out. I honestly cant believe what a joke of a federation US Soccer is. We finally have a squad who can compete, Copa America and WC 2026 on the horizon, and you hire the same guy who left 5 months ago and who has real issues with Gio Reyna & Pepi 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ I also hate Berfarter for taking the job knowing he is not liked by the fanbase.
Only USA soccer can find ways to keep themselves at the middle of the pack. Why on earth would you bring Gregg Berhalter back when there is going to be unnecessary tension and attention that the US team does not need? Is he the only possible Coach they can find? If so, they are in worse shape than we thought. Also, when Gregg Berhalter says "It's been a lot for everyone involved…" Everyone is you, Reyna's annoying parents, and Gio. The US needs to clean house of their entire system and the powers that be in USMNT. How you can forever be a round of 16 WC team and think that is acceptable, is exactly where you deserve to be. What exactly are they doing to turn that around? Hire back the coach that led them to a round of 16 last year involved in a tabloid drama? If I were Pulisic, I would see if I could apply for Croatian or Italian citizenship.
Gregg berhalter is 50 and thirty years(actually 29) older than gio, so he’s like his parent(and gio technically is still a kid)! Why is it so hard to call him? Man I would’ve not rehired him to be honest because this was bound to happen!

GGG was re hired months ago and didn't even coach the team during the Gold Cup… so what has he been doing this whole time?

Can we fire ggg & sign harden
Isn’t Reyna injured?!
If Reyna is that good how come he doesn't start for dortmund or USMNT?
He’s the worst coach for this team. Period!!
Reyna overshadows pulisic
poor leadership Greg
Gregg isn’t as important as gio. Simple as that. Gio could be the best usmnt player ever if he keeps growing
As Stevie said, the first thing he should have done is called Gio. It has been months and no call yet??? Shows GGG is not a leader of men.
I like Gio and everything. He’s a great young player and blah blah blah but you guys are acting like this dude is Messi or something. This guy can’t go 5 games without getting injured.
Gregg out
🇺🇸 I cheer against my USA national team because of this disgusting terrible coach 🤢🤢🤮
🤬US Soccer Federation is corrupt & keeps picking yes-men- weak coaches for both men & women national teams 😡
He sounds like a pee wee coach
GGG, ffs bud, go away
This is all being completely overblown. Everything will be fine. Gio will be back when he’s healthy and playing a big part with the team. Gregg doesn’t just hate the kid for no reason.

This is why the Men’s National team fails
4:10 I don’t need to say more.

GIO, GIO, GIO ❤❤❤

If the US fired Berhalter do you think he'd get a job managing any other national team? 🤔

Two things first baby Berhalter needs to go. The dude is a little child needs to grow up second don’t ever cut Shaka off again.
Big mistake to bring back Berkhalter. He is not fit to be a coach at this level.
lol, gregg back to his same old clownass self. smfh
The manager needs to resign — this is ridiculous.
I know Gio is immature, I don't care if I catch flack for that I am just calling it like I see it. But dammit Gregg, why him? If you want to feud with one player – why can't it be like Jordan Morris or Paul Arriola? Why's it gotta be the future of the team???
Why is this guy the US coach? Good lord. Well done lol.
Berhalter telling one of our best players he wont be seeing much time 2 days before World Cup. great management !
Greggy Beerholder is acting like a little weasel
USMNT is going no further the round of 16 with Berhalter.
This national team is mudded. I can’t believe he was brought back, and he STILL hasn’t resolved issues with Reyna
This guy is an anti patriot his behavior does not represent our values and he’s not cut out for the gig!
Agree with Stevie here. Whole lot of talking. Personally I do not understand why they brought Berhalter back to manage USMNT.
This is on GIO not the Gregg! GIO is the spoiled child that needs to be treated like a little princess for why??? Cause he bitched about not playing when he was clearly not in good shape. I personally think it's good not to have him around tbh he is trouble!

GB is the worst. US soccer is embarrassing.
Berhalter is a clown. The US program is going backwards with him. It’s a disgrace

This is ESPN and we still can't get some actual usmnt fans to do the usmnt pieces. What shame.
