Honestly Clint's perspective is the most rational one and he knows what the problem is with us soccer's management and how should we proceed.

Clint's comment regarding the "pay to play" is quite a resounding condemnation - and accurate. Youth soccer in the US is not serving well. Too many young players who could potentially be outstanding players are effectively excluded from advancing their soccer career because they can't afford to play in the better leagues and organizations.

Jozy is so emotional bro needs to take accountability for their lost .. he was part of that team … can’t take criticism

The pay to play system is the biggest obstacle to youth development.

Altidors ego is so big he’s incapable of admitting he was part of the failure not qualifying to the World Cup. The man is incapable of receiving any kind of criticism.

i feel like the whole gio reyna’s mom and berhalter situation sums up the way soccer is run here

That comment from Donovan about going to MLS instead of Milan is absolutely wild, I’m sorry

There were many little fingers to point at but overall the US became super complacent for about a decade leading up to 2018. In prior generations (2002) it was somewhat countered with grit and determination but by the time 2016 came, there was so many USMNT players walking around thinking they were top caliber players because they played on a mid/bottom-table team in a European league. To their acknowledgement, there should have been more younger players bumping many members of that squad to the bench

As a Mexican soccer fan.. I feel for the US, because all their issues are very similar to Mexico's. The media and the management have done a horrible job, always criticizing the players and hiring coaches that don't know how to set up a formation or the players that deserve to start.

This is the level of conversation i expect out of these people but rarely see!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I wish you would adopt this serious in depth, intelligent commentary on network TV instead of the silly self aggrandizing jokes that make you all look a lot less intelligent than you are!!!!!!!!!! Please treat Americans with more respect as far as what we can handle in soccer commentary!!! Stop dumbing it down, It is why i am forced to watch the KZread commentators over network TV. they come across much more intelligent and sophisticated. This presentation proves you guys actually do care. As well as smart!

Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey, thank you guys very much for keeping it 100%!!! I am from Trinidad and Tobago and yes, we did feel offended. The media did everything to disrespect us. Shaka Hislop said it best on ESPN FC.

McKennie, Musah and Adams should be a very solid 3 midfield. They played at a high level in 22 but notably failed to track back against the Netherlands and this showed a lack of communication and connection with the center backs.

That team had Jozy Altidore on it, enough said.

The main reason why the USMNT failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup was because they were arrogant and full of themselves.From their coach to their media was arrogant and full of themselves.Added to that the disrespect they showed towards Trinidad & Tobago was the breaking point for them and they made the US team ate humble pie.

she has to be one of the best interviewers out there... she talks very little and just lets them go talk indefinitely... that's a sign of a really really good interviewer

Ferrira can’t do it at the international level 😂

I enjoyed this conversation. They were way more nuanced than I expected.

The team has no true identity or continuity since Kilnsmann left. And, they are right, they should have qualified weeks before, not needing that one point for that game.

People forget that goal by Alvin Jones in the Trinidad game was World Class. It even got stuck in the corner of the net.

I hope these guys know they’re legends in their own right
