News: - Time to give Gregg Berhalter his due | Page 3

Gregg Berhalter gets as much credit as Roberto Martinez does for getting Belgium to the world cup.

Its about whether you raise the level of play of your players, or lower it. Martinez, and Berhalter lower it. Having great talent save you doesnt make you a good coach. This is a team with top 5-6 talent in the world, and yet some of the greatest of it Gregg has left on the bench. Just about every sub has been a clear mistake. They won, but it was because of Dest and Pulisic, and not because they were set up for so much success that one of their 20 shots had to go in.

If this team finishes in the top 4, then we can talk. A top 8 talent team finishing in the top 16 is nothing to be praised about. Gregg gets credit for a defense that hasnt allowed a goal in the run of play. But let me know when the team is scoring more than 0.67 gpg also, because we wont get further without that.

Love to see you back up your statement that this team is a top 5 talent team. Please explain how you came to this conclusion. If you can't then it's because you're pulling it out of your ass which makes what you said meaningless to everyone else but you.
