USMNT fans are not happy with coach Gregg Berhalter.
Fans of the United States men’s national team are ready to see a changing of the guard at head coach after the team’s awful Copa América 2024 exit.
Indeed, the team’s 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Monday night in Kansas City has fans sick and tired of the way coach Gregg Berhalter has led the program since returning to his post in 2023 after a brief departure in 2022.
While Berhalter shouldn’t shoulder all the blame for the way USMNT has played as of late, it is his team that is underachieving and making fans livid.
USMNT fans expressed a healthy share of disdain for the coach, some feeling it was time he was replaced by a more suitable candidate for the 2026 World Cup, one set to take place in part on home soil.
After 74 games under Gregg Berhalter, one constant is that the team doesn’t create chances. This is who they are. There is no logical way to believe that will change with more time.
All the BS from tonight shouldn’t mask the obvious: it’s time for a change.

The President of US Soccer Cindy Parlow Cone and its Technical Director Matt Crocker must make a big decision on the direction USMNT is taking.
Since Berhalter's been rehired, the team has regressed.
If we're a serious football nation, this should be curtains for Berhalter. pic.twitter.com/bOxlXuT69W

Berhalter should've never been brought back. That whole window of decision making process set U.S. Soccer back years. Just incredibly bad and self-serving from them.

If not getting out of a group with Bolivia and Panama AT HOME isn’t enough to fire Gregg Berhalter then NOTHING will be.
The federation has a chance to show us it truly cares about the team and its growth. Let’s see what they do.
Berhalter out. No other option. pic.twitter.com/sELf7wMvP8

FT: #usmnt 0-1 Uruguay. The U.S. is out of the Copa America, an utter disappointment, one that should cost Gregg Berhalter his job. For all the U.S.'s huffing and puffing, a fair result. Uruguay just ground the U.S. into dust, with a U.S. xG of 0.29 for the game.

The most talented team we've ever had is hosting the World Cup in two years.
Berhalter can't be the coach. He just can't. Pay whatever it costs to get a top coach. This is the United States of America. We have the money. Spend it. Fix this.

This afternoon @BobLeyESPN texted me “No way URU loses to US. Berhalter’s last game.”
The General knows soccer.

No coach deserves multiple cycles. Period. Almost always diminishing returns. The US has a structural inability to score that has not changed under Berhalter.
Expecting something different is like saying we believe in the tooth fairy.

If the United States want to succeed in the 2026 World Cup on home soil, then the US Soccer Federation needs to replace Gregg Berhalter Tonight.#USMNT

If the USMNT fires Berhalter, this dreadful performance won’t be a loss after all.

If Gregg Berhalter isn’t fired, I’m done. It’s really that simple.

Greg Berhalter should do the honorable thing and resign, tonight.
