He's the only non-delusional US analyst here. Herc is an idiot who is way too opinionated for such a mediocre player and Seb is a biased shill. Yes Berhalter didn't have the best run and probably should have walked himself after the Gio incident, but American soccer fans are way to delusional in thinking this is a golden generation. Donovan, Dempsey, McBride et al were way better and way more proven.

Listening to Kasey Keller is like sitting in bumper to bumper traffic with no music, on a hot / humid day, with no AC, and the windows rolled up. Oh, and an annoying relative in the car. Just brutal. Absolutely brutal.

Its pretty easy to understand. We're not as good as people like to try to pretend - and while the coach sucks - that really doesn't change the first part. Name me one elite national team anymore than 1-2 of players play in, let alone start. Until that changes... the coach doesn't matter. As they say in Coaching it ain't the X's and O's its the Jimmy's and Joes. You can design the greatest tactic in the history of mankind. Of the universe. And when their player is faster, a better dribbler, a more clinical finisher, better with his feet, etc, etc... then it simply doesn't matter. The coach can't help at that point. If you're better than me at X activity when you and I are both at our best... then you're just better than me and the vast majority of times in a head to head matchup, you're going to win. This delusion that a head coach changes that somehow ... is just that. A delusion. If that was the case than way more small market teams and small colleges would win national titles than do. But 8/10 times, its the team with the most talent or at least, comparable talent to the most talented team that wins. Theirs a reason we celebrate the underdog stories - cause they don't happen much.

Come on Casey... Saying the US shouldn't spend a lot for a coach when we are hosting the world cup in 2026 is laughable.

I disagree with Kasey about the 'blowing up budgets' part. When the USWNT effectively had Cordeiro 'resign' due to 'bad words about the women' (in reality it was likely about the futility of the loser of a lawsuit), former women's player Parlow-Cone was APPOINTED and she had NO PROBLEM opening the coffers and not only upping women's pay despite the contract they agreed to, but just giving them MILLIONS in "back pay"!! So he can kindly f-off with the 'budget' nonsense because they had no problem breaking the budget EVEN THOUGH the lawsuit against the federation itself was DISMISSED! And now they have this BS bylaw where the women's coach, as inexperienced or average as she might be or given the level of the women's sport vs. the men's. could get the same pay as a super high profile manager demanded at the highest levels of the sport. "Equal Pay.. yays!" Let all of that sink in. Then think about what Keller said about 'blowing up the budget'. Here is the US hosting the World Cup - the MEN's. Which - I'm sorry if it offends people - is INFINITELY BIGGER than the women's World Cup. More people care, more people watch, more prize money is involved, more sponsors demand exposure. The US may not get to host again in your lifetime. But suddenly "oh, well, you know we better mind the budget!" GTFOH... 🤣🤣😂😂

When the star attacking midfielder / Gregg's relegated player is checking his phone every 20 minutes to see whether GB is fired yet, that says something.

Only in America do I hear the beautiful game referred to as a “business” as much as I do. That’s the problem. Either you have passion and want to win at whatever cost, or you’re just going to defend pay to play. I think we all know where USSF lands on that scale…

The security situation and management of the games is awful; i attended the Argentina-Canada game with my family and it was incredibly poorly managed; they let out everyone at the same place and everyone was funneled through a horrible bottleneck, the tunnel that leads to the American Dream mall. there were very few stewards and security and the crowd had no idea what to do. if that was a game between two more equal fan bases in size or there was any animosity or even just a panic it could have been a disaster.

Stop talking about Crocker resetting the market on the women's side with the hiring of Hayes, the women side is on a much higher level talent wise and accomplishments. It's apples and oranges comparing the USWNT and USMNT coaching jobs. The women needed a coach like Hayes because Vlatko was not on the level needed to coach them. They are expected to win a World Cup unlike the men's side. The men do need a better coach to raise their level of play but we are not at a level of asking someone like Klopp to coach us unless he wants to build it up to a powerhouse but i just didn't see it happening.

This is NOT the 1994 Era. This is the 2026 Era when the USMNT must be AMBITIOUS and REALISTIC. You can start dreaming without doing any work. You have to do a lots of work. But, you also must be AMBITIOUS because you have the right to be. The missing keyword is REALISTIC + AMBITIOUS You need a coach who have experience in the World cup, whether he's American or European. First you need to win, then you can have standards that include nationality Right now, you need a coach that has done what you want to do at the World Cup

Keller common L. A business would hire a top coach like Klopp or Mourinho and call it an investment. US soccer amazes me

Keller is good friends with Berhalter so I kinda understand his diplomatic responses. That said they never should have rehired him so this was inevitable, the USMT lacks a consistent system, and they still give the ball away a ton. The players (not all) lack the mental discipline and structure it takes to compete in world tournament football, a manager with proven experience could certainly help with that. Ale is absolutely correct, the U.S. is not an elite level squad and they aren’t going to attract elite level managers we have to be realistic.

Keller dishing out the truth that hurts. Getting a top manager isn't gonna magically fix things. Copa America is first and foremost on the players. I know we like to hate on Berhalter, and Im glad he's gone but yall need to open your eyes. This is a problem every club ends up having and throwing money at the problem doesn't always fix it.

We only have 2 years to the WC. We need a coach that already has international experience. We dont have time for a coach to learn on the job. The coach has to know how to implement something quickly. HERVE RENARD

I also think there are some youngins that should be brought in to push guys..... Diego Luna needs a call. I really like Tanner Tessmann in the midfield that just made a move to Inter in Italy. Trusty from Sheffield United should be given a look at CB.

Didnt the Us try something like this with yedlin

C’mon Casey. Enough with settling down for averageness. This is the U.S we’re talking about. The U.S doesn’t settle for averageness or for “just getting by.” The USMNT needs to represent the U.S strong in this upcoming WC and prove to the world what the U.S can be and can do. This is the richest nation in the world for crying out loud.

why doesn't anyone ever talk about or ask if GB was able to actually pick the players or if the federation or sponsors were forcing him to pick certain players??? this is important to know, national team coaching is mostly picking the right players

The more I hear about all of this about Berhalter from this team, the more I believe that they actually thought the USA was going to win this tournament. USA was never going to win the Copa America. They were just there to get some competitive game time before the 2026 WC. Average coach maybe but be realistic

Certainly more likely to win this tournament than the World Cup. I didn’t expect a win but it’s certainly possible, just look at Canada getting to the semi’s and the us is by far the best concacaf team. But thank god we got rid of that idiot manager

No one expected them to win but everyone expected them to do much better than this. They made the semi finals the last time they were in copa America in 2016 with their mostly mls roster which also included them winning their group with Colombia in it

No, pretty much no one thought we were going to win this. The expectations within the fan base were largely: Bare minimum: get out of groups Satisfactory: get out of groups in second place, lose in quarters to Colombia/Brazil while putting up a respectable fight Exceeding expectations: Top the group and/or get to the semis Pipe dream: make the finals and/or win GGG is not an average coach. He's far below average, and this tournament might have been what actually got him fired, but it's not the reason he DESERVES to be fired. He deserves to be fired for being a terrible coach for the past 5 years whose only accomplishments really are continuously defeating the worst Mexico team in recent history in an overwhelming weak CONCACAF. We've looked terrible pretty much any time we've actually had to play a decent team outside of CONCACAF.

Call on Elon Musk to get the money…or MAGA. I mean MAGA will find the money for a new coach if it makes America great

Keller says that Berhalter's 1st stint was a success because they qualified for the 2020 World cup; but keep in mind that the U.S. tied 4th place Costa Rica for points in the CONCACAF qualifiers.

There's plenty of money in US Soccer!! We bid for this World Cup and Qatar!! People got fired and went to prison but we can afford a great manager??

1. Crocker didn't rehire Berhalter, his brother did, regardless of who supposedly signed off on it. 2. it's hilarious that Berhalter says he's proud of the identity he built, when the identity he built is one of loosing, disfunction and underperformance. 3. Im sure he remains confident in the players, he wasted their potential so anything they accomplish from here on out will be a demonstration of how poorly he utilized the talent.

I understand what Kasey says... and disagree. We MUST dream big. Kasey didn't do the amazing things by being reasonable. He did it by working his tail off and dreaming big. Why can't we believe the same for USMNT? We should wait our turn? We should sit quietly? While I don't think the USA is a Top 10 team, we need to dream big and go big to get there. Kasey might still be stuck on the idea that the men shouldn't have a coach that is paid more than the women's coach for 'equity's sake.'

Kasey Keller 100% wants to be part of the USSF syndicate.

Lookup "yes man" in the dictionary, you will see a Kasey Keller photo.

Please give Kasey Keller and CBS’ Brian McBride a show where they can both just toe the USSF line.

Let’s hope Kacey Keller never gets a job within the federation cus he will not only hold the team back he’ll make sure they regress furthermore. If it’s up to him they’d hire inexperienced cherundolo & he prob still think it’s too expensive 😂

Keller was an all time American SOCCER player... But my god does that guy talk a lot about going no where...

So glad Ale is on here to call out the B.S.

The money constraint argument is always interesting to me. There is likely no shortage of American soccer benefactors willing to bankroll a top-tier USMNT coach for the 2026 World Cup in the USA. If money is used as an excuse, it is because the US Soccer Federation has failed to be creative.

Ale is always bang on with his punditry The pressure is on the players, i mean the players play the games not the manager. This is always how it is. No more arena, no berhalter, its up to Pulisic and his boys to get results Enough is enough

I want to hear from John Brooks, He better be brought back into the program

Is Keller worried about a pay decrease if USSF hires an expensive manager?

Keller has been turned into a USSF mouthpiece.

Guys, this is true what you’re saying about the Brazil USA comparisons but if you are going to coach a Brazilian team, the expectations for you are sky high to do good with a team like Brazil but the expectations for the United States team is at the most to compete with a team like Brazil so there is a whole lot less pressure on that type of a situation as far as the Usa is concerned

Kasey Keller: "He DiD hIs JoB".

I don't expect the US to win the World Cup in 2026 at home. But if it's not on the table for this federation, then that's a fail.

You pay for what you get. Keller is wrong. To reach the next level, you need a great (and likely expensive) manager to get there. Waiting for this program to advance before paying is an erroneous mindset. Pay the money!!

Keller is such a mouthpiece. Worthless commentary. “We’re not at that level so we shouldn’t push to be at that level?!”…now what

Keller is correct. You can bring in an elite team of managers for 10x the money GGG was on, but that does not change the fact that these lot of players have no leaders, fighters, gamechangers, or flair. These players peaked at a point where CONCACAF was at its weakest. New tactics do not make your individual talent and mentality better.

it is irresponsible to discuss gregg's rehiring without seriously discussing the time gio reyna's family blackmailed him. it was a pivotal moment, and the most embarrassing moment i've experienced as an american fan. it was important to not bend to blackmail.

Proud of US soccer for doing the right thing. Initial talks with Jurgen Klopp have officially been MADE.

@@taylortee8474 Because it's an extreme challenge (with some legit upside potential), he would be very well-compensated, the schedule and daily grind is dramatically less intense than a fulltime club coach at an elite club, and the day-to-day attention/pressure/living in a microscope is a lot lower in the US than anywhere else. All that said, it's clearly a major longshot. But if there's a 5% chance he strongly considers it, you try.

Klopp, in reality, would not come cheap. Aren't they bound by CBA to pay the women's national team manager on par with the men's? Isn't that going to stall or eliminate men's managers across the world who would be somewhat interested in taking the USMNT mantle?

Canada got A TON of experience! And 4 million for the federation and team training renovations!

Casey keller speaking like a politician lmao covering up for beehalter and USMNT higher ups 😂😂

Let’s not kid each other, 40 years ago you would not hear a Soccer comment on radio or tv except when someone was killed at an stadium Now there is public opinion, and public opinion is healthy to put pressure on mediocrity. The 2026 worldcup is the chance to make the sport huge is this country for USNMT to make it to a semi It is now! Get a great coach that can teach

Get the right coach, you will see significantly better performance. Keller just showed the federation's cards. They are way too involved in the day to day. Hire a coach and let them drive.

Is Casey in charge of the USmnt budget? He sounds like a shill. They need to bring in the best coach that we can for this world cup! Someone who can have these guys play to there potential and punch above there weight. We've seen it in other country's. And we have talent. Sure Klopp is probably a dream. But multiple coaches that are very good are available and will get more out of the team then GGG.

Kasey whaaaaaaaaaat lol. This man sounds like he’s already at USSF and is paving the way to hire another American Greg 🤦‍♂️

Never asks a goal keeper for insight. Their mind is in a box.

Lots of criticism towards Kasey Keller… clearly he’s grounded in reality while the rest of US fans are in dreamland. The potential for this USMNT is to reach a quarter finals AT MOST. This team is so average. Sure, this alone shouldn’t cut aspirations towards trying to recruit a top tier manager. But the manager won’t plug up all the holes.

Uhhh yea managers matter . You don’t think so go look at Colombia

13:00 We heard similar talk from Vahid Khalilozitch and some Moroccan Fans before W.C. 2022 After the Moroccan Royal Federation fired Vahid for disrespecting Moroccan Fans, we told the new Coach who came for local Club Wydad AC, to play to win every game. After 5 games we were still winning, and most Moroccan Fans didn't believe we could play all 7 games every in any world cup. It can happen if you first have the right attitude. Get from the US FANS the things they say and improve on them, i.e. sow more realistic optimism in the USMNT Players and Coach and Staff If you tell them we can't win, they will play to that level. If you tell them we will win the World Cup, maybe we'll get ousted from the Group Stage But if you encourage them and put the emphasis on Positive Ambition and Realistic, and keep that conversation between the FANS and the USMNT through the Media as long as the team is in it, you will be creating positive vibes which will help some USMNT Players Don't think about Germany or Brazil, think about the USMNT. It can be done ! The Miracle on ICE is one historic example
