I know but I just assume he isn't going to use him right because he's given no indication he will. I actually think we showed progress tonight so I'm going to lay off Gregg but if he has the wrong overall idea like Adams at RB it doesn't matter how well he builds the team because they aren't aiming for the right thing.
Doubt that has much to do with it. No ones going to drop the team of their birth/parents birth just because the place they moved to was welcoming.
Maybe not everyone would. But I feel like none do which is meaningful to me.
Whatever progress we showed in the first half went right out the window when Tata made adjustments while GB did nothing. Completely outmanaged. Our ceiling under Berhalter is GC runner ups and qualifying as 2nd for the WC. Any WC advancement would be come down to the group we're drawn into. I like a lot of our younger players but Greg is going to waste them. I'd to be proved wrong but nothing in his track record suggests differently. Coached a Swedish team for 2 years (won nothing) then won nothing with Columbus for 5 years. Yet somehow people think he should be in charge of the national team. It's like putting Eddie Howe in charge of England
He's definitely not up to the standard of Tata. And God help us if we get drawn against someone like Germany or France. But what excites me is we do have some good players at the moment and that should be enough to make the team at least fun again.
We have so much leverage too. Threaten to join CONMEBOL and CONCACAF is bricking it and conceding whatever they need to keep us.
Expect USSF could care less about us having a home field advantage,etc. All they care about is money hence all the games in pro Mexico areas of the country not to mention the half filled football stadiums like in Nashville because tickets are 100+
Honestly I dont blame them either. If I moved to Canada or anywhere else i wouldnt ditch the US teams just because I moved
I guess I wouldn't either but at some level I would probably adopt the team where I was too. It doesn't feel like that with Mexican Americans.
Sunil fell on the sword but a lot of people survived and nothing has really changed in a meaningful way. And if Berhalter the executive becomes CEO with whoever the Sunil understudy is still as president it will continue to not change. There's a seriously rotten core. But international footy can still work out with poor management in the front office if the players are good enough. The US women are coming from the same federation.
The womens team is a unique situation because we've had such a huge headstart in the womens game compared to other nations. We will never have the talent advantage we have with the women in the mens game.
