Absolutely 100% agree and it really stings that this is so painfully obvious to us watching from the couch but Berhalter (who was hired because he’s the brother of one of the guys on the selection committee… nepotism) is absolutely in his own head and ego. American coaches all think they’re the next second coming and the ego just outweighs their tactical ability. Van Gaal wasn’t even breaking a sweat. He exposed Berhalter and the entire USA Soccer Federation.

They have problems all the way down to the youth level and it shows. We won’t be winning any world cups soon.
