to be fair, dempsey's career began at age 24 when he graduated from furman and joined the revs it is hard to believe but the international soccer economy penetrated youth development in the US less than 10 years ago and we already take it for granted.... .... because we should, because it's the natural order of things..... .... like the metric system .... ..... and firing gutless spineless slugs after they get a full cycle and get beat by a team whose manager said his strategy was wait for us to fuck up

okay, then fire gregg before sundown and tweet klopp he can name his price this isn't hard do it now today

July 2, 2024 Good morning! The USMNT is out of the Copa America, but there will still be plenty of action for U.S. teams on the international front this summer. The USA will field teams in both soccer competitions at the Olympics for the first time since 2008. As usual, soccer starts before the Opening Ceremonies – the men against France July 24 in Marseille, the women against Zambia the next day in Nice. On July 19, the U.S. U-20 men begin the defense of their Concacaf championship title, while the USA opens against reigning champion Spain on Sept. 1 at the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia. We'll be covering all the action. Soccer America Daily is edited by Paul Kennedy and Mike Woitalla. COPA AMERICA USA crashes out: ‘It’s an empty feeling right now’ Gregg Berhalter head coach of the United States after the match during a Copa America 2024 Group C match between Uruguay and United States at Arrowhead Stadium on July 1, 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri. Photo: Robin Alam/ISI Photos The USA has exited the Copa America in the group stage. An early exit of historic proportions: • No Copa America host has ever before been eliminated in the group stage since Conmebol introduced its current format with group play leading into the quarterfinals in 1993. • The USMNT failed to advance out of the group stage of a major tournament at which it participated with its "A" team for the first since the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The only world power the USA ended up playing at this year’s Copa America was Uruguay, and it never did enough to seriously threaten La Celeste, losing 1-0. The Uruguay game ended up being the USA’s one chance to get a signature win at the Copa America, and it failed. Nor did it get a signature performance at the tournament. • What They're Saying: “They worked extremely hard, put in a great effort against a really good team,” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said after the match. “But that needs to be the standard every time we step on the field, that needs to be the same effort.” • Top of the News: Gregg Berhalter: 'We did not perform up to expectations at all' (By Paul Kennedy) KANSAS CITY, MO - JULY 1: Tyler Adams #4 of the United States turning with the ball during a Copa America 2024 Group C match between Uruguay and United States at Arrowhead Stadium on July 1, 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: MATT CROCKER @ussoccer_ENT/U.S. Soccer. @ussoccer_ENT/U.S. Soccer. “Our tournament performance fell short of our expectations. We must do better. We will be conducting a comprehensive review of our performance in Copa America and how best to improve the team and results as we look towards the 2026 World Cup.” -- U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker, who oversaw the search that led to Gregg Berhalter's rehiring as head coach, in a statement issued by the federation that the 1-0 loss to Uruguay eliminated the USA from the Copa America.

🇺🇸 Gregg Berhalter & the USMNT knew the measuring stick going into Copa América They fell well short. Jon Arnold Jul 2 Reporting from the home of the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs¹ The measuring stick for the United States, and its manager Gregg Berhalter, in this summer’s Copa América was clear. “You must get this far to continue riding this ride,” it may have said. The minimum was the quarterfinals. Stand on tippy-toes and maybe it’s a semifinal - or something even more memorable. Reach that standard, and it would’ve been a clear signal to U.S. fans and the world: This team is going in the right direction. Big things are coming when it hosts the World Cup in 2026. Instead it fell short, and it’s impossible to believe it’s true that things are progressing well, that things are going in the right direction. It’s impossible to believe the United States is a team that could actually lift the World Cup in two years. That means changes, and in international soccer where you can’t go out and buy another forward or midfielder or anyone else, the easiest thing to do is to change the manager. Even when you think about the players you’d buy, this U.S. team really should be good enough. Sure, you can come up with upgrades, but compared to other teams in Concacaf and even the Americas, it’s a very talented group. It should’ve gotten out of the group. It should challenge Argentina, Brazil, the Uruguay team that controlled it and secured a 1-0 win in what goalscorer Mathías Olivera told me “you could see was the most difficult game of the group because of the team they have.” And it didn’t. It fell short of the standard. “It’s really about learning from this whole month,” Berhalter said after the contest. “It’s learning from these high-level games we’re playing pre-tournament and in-tournament and us having the collective understanding that the margins are so small, and there’s very little separating any of these teams and we have to treat every game as the same.” Despite what some frustrated fans might say, Berhalter is a smart guy, and he’s been in the game a long time. He’s right about the margins in international soccer. They’re tight, and they’re only getting smaller. That’s why Berhalter has to go. Whether this team needs someone who is less of a ‘players coach’ and makes life less comfortable for them, someone with more experience as a club manager or just a fresh face with new ideas, something has to change. The margins are slim. The difference between success and failure at this tournament was, functionally, one goal. But everyone knows that going into a major tournament. Calls might not go your way. Mistakes will be made. The manager has to lead the response to those moments of adversity. The U.S. collapsed in those tough times. “Do I think this team is good enough to compete with good teams? Of course I do,” defender Jedi Robinson said after. “We didn’t put ourselves in very good spots last game. If we don’t go down to 10 men I think we win comfortably. This game is a test to show we can play against a good team and advance. That didn’t happen. We didn’t get the job done.” The players aren’t free of blame by any stretch, either. Whether red cards, defensive errors, a seeming fear of creativity in the final third or too low a work rate, the team wasn’t good enough as a unit in the Copa América. “We have to look at each other and speak to each other and look at ourselves and have tough conversations with ourselves,” center back Tim Ream said. “There’s no other way to get around it. You can’t paper over the cracks, you can’t hide from the facts. “That’s conversations among the players, and that’s important. It’s where the leadership group comes in. We’re all very, very experienced players and we have to speak up and be that type especially with the disappointment of tonight.” U.S. Soccer’s leadership group also will be having those conversations, with sporting director Matt Crocker saying in a statement “We will be conducting a comprehensive review of our performance in Copa America and how best to improve the team and results as we look towards the 2026 World Cup.” My suspicion is that means lining up someone who can replace Berhalter to be announced shortly after the, ‘Thank you, Gregg,’ Those conversations will be tough. These are human beings, people with families, people who get to know and like each other. But this also is a results-based industry. The results needed were clear, and the U.S. didn’t measure up.

until they do so they haven't way too many people are picking up on the parlow/cba/$1.6m problem for it to be fictitious until the fed comes out and says the problem doesn't exist, ipso facto, it exists

even if they fire him it doesn't matter because of parlow's cba the 99 team trashed the men's program and set the tone for the woke 20s group to finally destroy what we have been trying to build for 30 years the amount of wasted time $ and energy building towards 26 is a tragedy unfolding those of us who have given decades of our lives and massive treasure to build the supporters culture have seen it's demolition come to fruition way to go megan rapinoe the jews did not do this

violent agreement adding that after the tells (camera from space, var ruling, bitch ref not shaking hands after fucking us) this will be the last copa cash cow in the US and i predict immigration issues for all south american teams in 2 years

the big names that write checks to fifa care fuckall about the us federation, the Men's national team or their supporters, and have proven as much in the past 20 years it's prima facie - if they did give a fuck cindy parlow would not be in charge of the fed, SUM would not have conrtrolled the money for 25 years, klinsmann would have never been fired, berhalter would have never been hired, and stupid amateur decision after stupid amateur decision about rosters, friendlies/stadiums/dates, etc.etc.etc. would have never been taken the us men's national team is an obstacle and albatross that consumes resources as far as the large corporate sponsors headquartered in the us are concerned when was the last time you saw a mastercard or coke "go us men" commercial? you never have and you never will

thanks dude

i keep telling myself that when we are not in europe we always get out of group on euro soil we've never advanced everywhere else we've always advanced

the screed i pasted was from esipn who the fuck knows just fucking win bitches

The U.S. will advance if it does better against Uruguay than Panama does against Bolívia. This can manifest itself in a few ways. • The U.S. wins while Panama ties or loses. • The U.S. wins or ties while Panama loses. If the U.S. and Panama get the same result in their respective matches, then it will come down to goal differential. Currently the USMNT has a two-goal edge, plus-1 to minus-1. • If the U.S. and Panama tie, the U.S. would go through based on the better goal differential. • If the U.S and Panama both win, then there will be three teams on six points, and goal differential will factor in. The U.S. will need to make sure its margin of victory is enough that Panama doesn't make up the difference. • The only way the U.S. catches Uruguay is if it beats La Celeste by four goals. Anything less than that and Uruguay would be above the Americans on the goal differential tiebreaker. • Panama's margin of victory would need to be two goals better than the USMNT's. If the two sides find themselves even on goal differential, the next tiebreaker is goals scored, followed by head-to-head involving the three teams. • If the U.S and Panama both lose, the U.S. will need to avoid losing by three more goals than Panama. If Panama makes up the two-goal differential, then the two teams could find themselves even on goal differential. Bolívia would also factor into the equation because three teams would be on three points. If two or more teams are tied on points, goal differential and goals scored, then the tiebreaker will be determined as follows: • Greater number of points obtained in the group-stage matches among the teams in question. • Greater goal difference in group-stage matches among the teams in question. • Greater number of goals scored in the group-stage matches among the teams in question. If the teams are still tied, the tiebreaker will go to: • Fewer red cards. • Fewer yellow cards. • By the drawing of lots.
