I wonder if the way forward to 2026 might be to hire a European manager who has that tournament experience and success, paired with an American coach who has rapport with the players.

 

That's asking a lot of USSF    But they have to get this one right.

 

 

 

Roberto Martinez is available..

[StanSP]

Another good goal, this one against the run of play. 

[KFS]

Love those cut back goals 

[Aus Fox]

There’s just no real quality in the US team, they don’t have a player who looks like they can do a bit of magic and get them a goal out of nothing.

2-0 and that’s the Dutch comfortably going through

[KingsX]

So long, Gregg.  It was a decent run.

 

But unmarked runners in the box on every counter?  That's too easy.

Cruel on the yanks, they were getting back into it there.

Not impossible they could tempt Tuchel or Poch.  With the cup coming to NA and no need to qualify, it's a chance to make a deep run and any manager who did that with the USMNT would be a pretty big celebrity.

 

Of course, it should be remembered that the guy in charge of choosing the coach is... Berhalter's brother.  Or perhaps it would be better to say Berhalter is the brother of the guy choosing the coach.

Yes they do.  They just aren't playing.

[StanSP]

Ream should have scored that. 

[Izzy]

Good game this, enjoying it. If the US score soon it could get really interesting 

[StanSP]

Bergwijn is useless

 

[ithuriel]

Quality save

[NasPb]

Usa useless. 

[Koke]

I feel another Dutch goal is incoming. One of these counters will go in.

[StanSP]

Good save from the rebound. 

[ithuriel]

Another quality save

[ithuriel]

Christ, some of those shots are NASA like

[ithuriel]

Should have scored

[Izzy]

That was your chance. The US are all fart and no shit really.

[StanSP]

Dumfries

[Vacamion]

 

That first touch 

[Izzy]

Hello

[whoareyaaa]

 what a fluke 

[ithuriel]

One went in

[Facecloth]

Game on
