Berhalter showed that he isn’t the answer.
What the hell was he thinking? He needs to build his credibility, he doesn’t have the skins on the wall at this point to experiment.
I believe, a National Team roster for WCQ should be pretty much set at least two years before qualifying starts to give them a chance to mesh together, they have to play as many games as possible, Friendlies should never be thrown away just like that.
Winning a World Cup is more about team cohesion than talent. That’s why Messi will probably never win a WC with Argentina. They have the talent, but not the cohesion.
Also, I really wish we had gotten Martino, instead of Mexico.
Our under 20 men’s team has been impressive. Hopefully, they get by Ecuador in the quarters tomorrow. The US comeback victory over France showed their grit and determination. Impressive. There is some real talent that should bolster the National Team in the future. Many are competing in Europe, which should bode well in developing their potential.
