This happened at the tail end of Berhalter's five-year tenure. Even then, it doesn't imply that he was "actively sabotaging" their on-field...
Indeed. You seem to think that you read the game better than Premier League and Serie A Players of the Year, and that they just "screwed up a bunch."
An under-talented US defense held creative players like Hazard, De Bruyne, and Mertens scoreless for the full 90 minutes, yet some posters here...
Coming back on, it's striking what a bizarre little bubble this is. How can some people post about soccer all the time and yet understand so...
Attacks? Oh please. Your "highest ppg" argument didn't stand up, and all you've done since then is complain.
Agree. The 2021 Gold Cup was fun, and I've enjoyed GC 2023 so far, as well. Agree. Agree, I think this is the weakest Concacaf has been since...
There is, of course, nothing disingenuous about the above question. On the contrary, it's a great set-up to show how bad De Bruyne and Hazard are...
Prior to minute 75, did Belgium have a single chance that was as easy as either of the two goals the Netherlands scored before halftime? It isn't...
I stand by the earlier comparisons. You've selectively quoted two words of what I said while ignoring my actual points. When you behave this way,...
Other coaches have built winning MLS teams with lower-spending owners. Sigi included. Berhalter was given five years to do so and wasn't good...
As desperate as you are to shill for Berhalter, a closer look at his tenure compared to Sigi's only makes him look worse. Sigi took over the...
We recruit US-raised guys, too, like Slonina and Ferreira ... or for that matter, Julian Araujo. Recruitment is an even bigger deal for Canada...
Except, of course, that it didn't. PPG is a useful metric for comparing coaches who have similar talent against similar opposition. That's the...
Ignoring the fact that Berhalter has vastly better talent smacks of desperation.
Nothing was unexpected until minute 76, when he stoned his Everton teammate Mirallas one-on-one. The US defended well enough for long enough to...
I suppose that's a convenient excuse for Berhalter's mediocrity, but Precourt didn't stop investing until near the end of Berhalter's tenure. If...
... and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. USA-Belgium, 2014 - In the entire first half, Belgium attempts only one shot from inside the US...
What is your evidence that Precourt was actively sabotaging the Crew? Other than hiring Berhalter, that is.
You mean a .500 MLS coach like Berhalter?
... a very brief while. Buchanan is 24, David is 23, Davies is 22, Kone is 21. With a little patience, talent will accumulate.
Yeah, Berhalter's failure to say anything coherent on the matter suggests that it's one of his personal grudges.
The number you've cited is total shot attempts. England had more shots on goal (3 to 1) and more xG (0.8 to 0.6). None of this changes the fact...
I realize that this is BigSoccer, but is this kind of spin really necessary? In addition to dominating early possession, England also registered...
We have the horses to control some matches, not all. Against England, we let them take the initiative at the start and then began to...
"Peppered" or not, for most of the game, the shots Howard faced weren't dangerous. In contrast, Matt Turner faced two unstoppable shots before...
