We want to face the stronger teams. The bigger challenges are important for us. Winning against random islands does nothing for us
soliciten entrar a conmebol asi como lo hizo australia en la afc
Facing Panama (the way they are playing right now), Uruguay, and then either Brazil or Colombia is definitely going to be a challenge.
Also losing against them 😁
Back in the day the games were longer traveling more than 50+ countries.
@@PropertiesForSaleInJamaica yeah losing too😂
The US struggled to perform against T&T. Gregg will really need to get it together to get something out of the Uruguay match.
uruguay ya es otro novel con la juventud que puso e sus filas hasta venezuela desperto la unica cenicienta o equipo débil en conmebol es bolivia
@@Dr.Transilvania3378 Y Peru y Chile y Paraguay. Para mi, ellos tambien serian presa facil para USA. En este momento, creo que hasta Panama le podira ganar a cualquiera de esos tres.
They didn’t have McKennie, Pulisic or Timothy Weah with them.
@@iglaveli7230Or Tyler Adams
USA is finally going to learn what facing South American national teams is like
Finally? Copa America 2016 says hi…
@@Murillos1 They also finished 4th in that Copa America.
@@iplaytowin234South America is definitely stronger this time . Mexico and US will have to work harder to be 4th.
I really hope this is the tournament that gives Greg the boot. I don’t want U.S to underperform at all but man I’ll take anything that means Greg is out
They’ll never fire him given all the nepotism in that organization. The only chance would be if he were to quit on his own
It’s not just Gregg, it’s the board that hired him and changed the direction of our national teams.
I’ll take going 0-3 in group stage if it means Berhalter is gone.
@@RickyRicardo84agreed. Klinsmann for example got fired from 2 important matches resulted in a LOSS. This tournament is BIG and a loss has weights to the program. $ talk ya know!
This guy talking like the US is France or something
That's the US koolaid for you. The minute US fans drink it.They get delusional.
As a USMNT supporter I agree. We are good but come on at best (with a lot of luck and goodwill) we will get 3rd for copa America
@@georgethemonkeydrummer5598I think US is 5th or 6th at best.
USMNT got more and better talents than France. Just ask any American. USMNT also got the LeBron James of soccer, France does not.
I don’t think 🤔 USA can’t get to semifinals because Colombia 🇨🇴 and Brasil 🇧🇷 are superior ( I think 💭 Colombia wins his group).so USA second place in his group and lose the next stage now how they perform in the knockout is the real question?😊
6:15 That silent pause is everything 😂
Sebi: You are playing at home
Herc: GLARES
Here’s brain: “Do you know how many “home games I suffered through as a player?!?!”
That was hilarious
herc literally said, "look at this idiot I have to work with!" 🤣🤣
@@Mannyr-bu7qv Herc used that time to calculate all of the items he dodged while playing "home" games.
Love how Herc was able to keep a straight face saying that the US is #12 in the FIFA rankings
These guys are hilarious together. Gotta love American Patriotism. "Will USA be favourites against Uruguay? XD
Herc also said Uruguay is the favorite
Uruguay will destroy USA even if USA is at home. I see a 3-0
Speed kills. Balogun and Weah can fly and they will get opportunities to score and win. Keep sleeping on Reyna too.
@@latinoheateddieguerrero7644lmaoooo you lost to Trinidad and Tobago 😭
@@latinoheateddieguerrero7644balogun is going to run by araujo
USMT won't even get out of the group 😂. 1. Uruguay 2. Panama 3. USA 4. Bolivia
You dont even watch fooball if you think usa will pass
Herc....that's ridiculous. We would still be massively un-favored against even a weak Brazil team. You HAVE to know that.
great points, going to be a wild tournament
Uruguay wins this matchup 7/10 with Bielsa v Berhalter. No confidence Berhalter can get this team to punch above its weight.
Best teams at the moment:
1-2) Tie between Colombia and Uruguay
3) Argentina
4) Brazil
5) Mexico
6) Ecuador
7) Venezuela
8) Chile
9) USA
10) Paraguay
11) Panama
12) Jamaica
13) Canada
14) Peru
15) Bolivia
16) who was the last team again?? Lmao. Trinidad??
Bro, your list is so bad. Mexico is not that high.
@@saulsalas2458Peru should be higher too :)
They gotta bring in Morris and Nagbe to solidify the midfield for depth. Good players and they need to check out Brian White from Vancouver, Gyazi Zardes, and Brandon Vazquez. Just to give forward depth.
Bielsa is Smoking on that Greg pack like cigarettes 😂
😂
Did he just suggest that U.S. would be favorites against Brazil right now, with their injuries and all?? 😂😂😂😂 😅😅😅 Americans love to over hype thier team...
A garbage Brazil, is 10x better than a US super team. Get a grip bro
And a Super Brazilian team is 10x lower than a garbage France. So let's all get a grip
@@alexsmith1207 If thats true France should have lots of World cups...
@@alexsmith1207 Brazil : 5 world cups🗿
Brazil hasn't had a great team for 22 years. The divide between Europe and South America is huge.
You'll always get a strong team in the group stages, that's the way the groups are set, seeds and teams in different pots
Yes, but you got the strongest team. Very unlucky for USA.
@@bolasdefraile Bolivia is the worst team of South America so...
@@sasukebyak I think USA can defeat any of the fourth tier teams.
the last time i felt optimistic about the USMNT doing well in a tournament was when Brian Mcbride and Eddie Pope where playing🤣😂🤣
That guy on the left is talking about soccer, when he should have been talking about Fútbol.
The straight answer to this question is a plain and simple NO
Berhalter is the Wish version of Southgate. How will the media spin a GGG failure in 2024. He's learning?
Time to put the “big boy” uniforms on and play 🙏🏼⚽️❤
Anybody else bothered that the team plays so many of its games at home for money purposes? Personally, it bothers me because we are terrible away from home and our players are far too comfortable playing at home.
Good thing then that both the next Copa America and World Cup are at home. We don't really have to worry about our poor road form until after 2026.
Most are home games are road games
USA is only ranked as high as it is because it mostly plays home games. If they played 50% of their games elsewhere they would be ranked in the 80s - 100 range.
This is such a clinic in BS it's amazing.
I don’t get why the USMNT dont hire an English coach ?? Why American coaches that don’t have the experience in high stakes high pressure games? I get wanting to have one of our own lead the team deep into the tournament but we also have to be realistic here.
Jamaica is in group b. They made an error in the broadcast
These two guys have no idea how Conmebol is.. you guys play in the Mickey Mouse cup. Welcome to the real cup with real contenders
Quarterfinal: Argentina over Mexico
Brasil over USA
Semifinal: Uruguay over Brasil
Final: Argentina over Uruguay @ Miami
Final will be Uruguay vs Colombia this time. Argentina vs Brazil will be the third place match.
This ain’t the Gold Cup.😂😂😂
USA can get out of the group stage if Bolivia underperforms!! USA cannot be certain theyll get out!!
lol. Bolivia always underperforms haha. USA has a guaranteed second place this is easily the easiest group.
It’s a fair draw for UsA
considering they don't deserve to be in the tournament, i wouldn't complain.
Why?
@@presidentcovfefe Copa America is a CONMEBOL tournament. Some of the CONCACAF teams are playing as guests. Honestly i have no idea why this cup is being hosted by the USA since its a South American tournament. Imagine the Gold Cup being played in Colombia or at Brasil.
Exactly, that's what we are saying that the game has evolved so much, big names don't matter anymore, just imagine how they wope Argentina lately. All the countries nowadays and players wana get pay too.
What? Argentina is still a power house! Lately Argentina has lost only one game and to another very talented South American team.
No we dnt want to avoid them!!!! We want to beat them!!!!! Man for man we have more quality than almost every team here except for maybe 2 or 3
Give me the 3 👀
You don't know soccer.
@@pelipequi1493 Argentina Brazil and maybe Uruguay if they have performances like against Argentina, I know how it works, but you gain nothing from cowering from better teams especially if you want to do well in your world cup
This overrated US team ain't topping Group C.Even with a weakened side Brazil could still beat this US team.Also,they may have gotten lucky in reaching the semis in 2016.But I still not seeing this US team doing that again.
USA is in Group C with Panama, Uruguay and Bolivia.
Brazil is not winning this Copa America and won’t win their group. Even if Ancelotti becomes their manager who is he going to manage to get them to win it all after just completing a long tiring season for Real Madrid. Highly doubt Brazil is winning this Copa tournament. I see Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, and maybe USA as the 4th team most likely
Uruguay will win its 16th Copa America
The fact US Soccer could of had Bielsa as their coach but decided to stay with Gregg Berhalter because their maybe a language barrier after we brought Leeds out of the championship to the premier league baffles me!!! Uruguay is gonna smash the US.
Having a great coach does not guarantee your success in the field of play. Bielsa elected Uruguay because of the amazing talented Uruguayan players in their team.
@@MegaMichigandernot so sure about that reasons. Bielsa usually picks teams based on a lot more reasons (support of the crowd, philosophy of the board of directors, training facilitys, etc). His last post was Leeds, a second division team.
But of course there are several reasons for a DT of the stature of Mr. Bielsa to pick Uruguay. I only mentioned the one that appeared to me to be the one with the most relevance. We must also consider the fact that Uruguayans and Argentinians have a very similar culture (almost identical)
@@MegaMichigander certainly. Also he is coaching at 3 hour from his own home. Last 20 years he was in another continent.
Good info. Thanks! 🙂@@bolasdefraile
Get rid of Berhalter if the USMNT is to make any meaningful progress!
Doesn’t matter who the manager is when the players are complete 🗑
With Berhalter at the helm I'm worried. Very worried.
People don’t have anything to offer but blaming the coach.
ya should face bolivia in denver
Seb is on one tryna act like the US would be favored over Brazil. This is a good draw for us. Yeah Uruguay is the best Pot 2 team. But in reality, we are.
I would like to point out that Mexico has twice finished in second place (1993, 2001), and three times finished in third place (1997, 1999, 2007) in Copa America. USA has only gone as far as fourth place in Copa America.
A fart to USA in Copa America.
Imagine underestimating Ecuador 😂
If the USA can’t get pass this draw. What’s the use of going to the World Cup. We have players to do the job
but if they played like they did the last game. Lol. No heart in that game. I hope I can see passion
yall hate on me way too much.
Yes.
USMT will beat uragua with tyler Adams, sergino , gio rena, weah, and balugu. Gregg will put that win out with these squads against the uragua cause Gregg got ballers in the roster now.
Dream on my boy, dream on.
Considering that the US didn't belong in Pot 1, any Pot 2 team would be a major challenge.
Peru would have been relatively easy. They can't score goals and depend on Gallese to make one miracle save after another just to stay in games. Based on current form, Peru didn't really deserve to be in Pot 2 over any of the teams in Pot 3.
@@donviajero2580that because Reynoso doesn't know jacksh!t on coaching all Peruvians know that using a Peruvian coach for national team sucks but with a Uruguay/Argentina/Brazil coach they know what to do
@@death2641Doesn't Peru have the same old core as they did in the 2018 WC? They simply don't have any good players and having an Argentinian, Brazilian or Uruguayan coach won't help
@@bryanp5843 it's mix but you know that Peru in 2011 copa america did the same thing so your point is invalid
The brazil player in real madrid ain't no top playet but hw just gpt lucky to be in real madrid period
USA is going to have the easiest path to making it. Uruguay should only be there problem. But we can win but odds, probably 1 in 4 of winning. They are gonna peak, as they play Uruguay.
US fans calling for failure in this tourney so GGG gets fired imo is a HORRIBLE take! We need to see this generation mentally buckle down and fight through adversity. a 0-0 draw against England in the WC and defeating Mexico's current generation is not a signature win like we saw during the Dempsey and Donovan years. I 1 million percent agree that we need to have a coach more tactically capable than GGG, but at some point the players are the ones on the pitch and we have the talent in this generation to overperform and they still have yet to do it. Copa 2024 is prime opportunity for these men to make their statement! LFG US!!! I wanna see our boys come out and play against this Uruguay team with 6points in the bank and end the group with 9 points and make a huge statement. What a mentality builder it would be going into the knockout rounds of this tourney.
Signature loss has more affect to the program direction as a whole than signature victory. It always been the case. Look at Arenas, Bradley, Klinsmann terms.
Guys too much bs, uruguay and the us get through.
Can’t count out Bolivia as a threat either haha this convo is pointless
Brazil is Brazil.. end of story.. When Brazil comes to a tournament weak, that when they win.
The USMNT needs to be tested (at home). I love our group and who could be potentially waiting if we get out of the group.
He’s trying so hard to be contrarian. Smh
As a México fan, I really think USMNT should’ve kept BJ Callaghan as the coach. The way he had the USA team playing against Mexico in the Nations league was phenomenal. It’s kind of like he said, go out there and do what you do best.
I won’t count his Gold Cup run because he didn’t have the A team.
Maybe Gregg proves me wrong and he does well, but I think the US should pick a coach that has a more offensive style of play as I think that suits their players a lot more
Berhalter has dominated Mexico. I don’t believe that we have lost to the Mexicans under Berhalter. He beat the El tri A squad (with injuries) with the USMNT B squad. With either coach
USA Soccer > Mexico Fútbol
Everyone in Mexico knows and fears this truth but they will accept it.
@@latinoheateddieguerrero7644so far.
Let be real. Signature defeat or early exit hold more weights to the program than signature victory. $ talk.
@@latinoheateddieguerrero7644 totally agree. I don’t think there’s any denying that USMNT is in a way better state than Mexico. But don’t you think BJ had the best performance against Mexico than any from Gregg? He had us frustrated and I honestly thought we were going to lose closer to 4/5 to nothing
Panama beat them at Gold Cup 😂
With Columbia , Brazil is not An overwhelming favorite
Colombia*
Disagree on the home team comments. The venues for the USMNT group stage games were picked deliberately to maximize the home advantage. They’d never pick Miami for a US game for that reason.
None of our opponents in the group stage have large fan bases in the US, so it probably didn't matter much where they played.
Obviously they didn’t know the opponents beforehand. They selected those cities based on the potential opponents
The USA will bow out against Brazil or Colombia in the QF. Canada, despite how screwed up their federation is right now, has a better chance of reaching the SFs than the USA, as the QF competitor will be weaker. My prediction is that neither the USA nor Mexico will go further than Canada in the next Copa America based on this draw.
How on earth Canada has more chances than the USA .
Besides Alfonso Davis & Alistair Johnstone , their player isn't really consistent player . And their GK & DC almost non existen .
@@Luonguyen457 well by the Davies standard, the USA has no one lol. Easier path to the SFs is the reason.
Don't sleep on Allison in goal for Brazil. They will be hard to score on. Especially for the USA
Uruguay is going to destroy this arrogant US team.
Every time people claim that a big team or powerhouse is going to “destroy” the USMNT , It rarely happens. Historically for the most part those games are closer than a “beat down” that people love to claim.
@@eddiegonzalez638 exactly people keep showing their ignorance and stupidity
@@eddiegonzalez638yeah because the US play like cowards. They just sit back and defense. Uruguay has world class players, unlike the US.
@@80s_monsterkid28lol your ignorant comment shows you are probably young, who started watching football. People just hate when you bring up facts. Do some research before you regurgitate typical ignorance that people who hate on US team makes.
The U.S. in the past have played close matches whether draw, loss or won against powerhouses in football. For example, U.S. beat Spain 2-0 in the 2009 confederation cup (arguably the best team at that time having won two euros and the Worldcup consecutively) 2014 WC match against Portugal, 1995 copa America against Argentina 3-0 win, 2002 World Cup against Portugal winning 3-2 , England WC match last year. That’s just a few examples, and there’s more samples if you do your research.
People think it’s always going to be 5,6,7 - nil and it never happens. Yes anyone can get a beat down any day example Brazil lost to Germany 2014 WC) however, Historically the U.S. plays pretty well against the bigger teams and the matches are closer than what people want to believe. no lies in that statement.
@@eddiegonzalez638 I’m not even going to read all that. All I have to say is here in Uruguay, we view Concacaf teams as jokes. The US is the biggest joke of them all. 😂
United states can beat uruguah pretty good with this golden generation
US just lost to Panama hahaha 😂😂😂
That was their c team and it only had MLS players
@@rlubin9356 excuses bro!
@@user-oo8ch7vl1lYou couldn't even name the players that played that day

Bro, u must be dreaming to think usmt is not winning it all. Usmt got powerful squad to win it all period. Bro, brazil and argentiba are no more awake like they used to, they are overrated period, and both brazil and argentina gonna get beat by team u might not believe will beat them, cause both brazil and argentina are good in paper
What are you on about
Let’s go USA 🇺🇸 USA USA USA 🇺🇸
😂😂😂😂
You guys are a joke. Tough Draw? The USA in pot 1 and plays at home. You avoid the three strongest teams in LATAM and get Panama and Bolivia, two of the weaker teams in COPA America 2024, and yet it's a tough draw? Sure you might have gotten something easier based on being seeded, but tough? Comedy show!
The US got the toughest team in Pot 2 and arguably the toughest team in Pot 3 (with the possible exception of Ecuador). So yes, it was a tough draw compared to what it could have been.
@@donviajero2580 USA got 1 of the 2 best teams in Pot 2, noting that Colombia is as difficult as Uruguay. As for Pot 3, Panama is at best 3rd strongest. Fifa world rankings are a bit squirrely considering how siloed international play is. On what planet is the USA and Mexico consistently top 15? Not this planet...
Uruguay is clearly the 3rd best team in CONMEBOL, behind Argentina and Brazil. Uruguay just beat Argentina IN Argentina. So yeah this will be a very tough game
Uruguay just beat Argentina in Buenos Aires 2-0 and Brasil in Uruguay also 2-0. Where have you been?
@@djknox2 Based strictly on current form, I would rate Panama above both Chile and Paraguay. Maybe on par with Venezuela. It's no fluke Panama made the final of the last Gold Cup and they have been in sizzling form since then. Meanwhile both Chile and Paraguay have been awful in qualifying so far.
copa bland af
Hercules is a clown, of course USA is a home team. Leave it to him to have the worse takes
he isnt that wrong thou. when the us plays mexico in az, ca, tx, nv. it basically a natural site or kinda of a away game. These teams that are coming fans travel well and have a huge fan base. So it could feel like usa is away.
As much as I want the us to succeed im kinda hoping they get knocked out early so berhalter gets fired. Hes absolutely terrible as a coach.
He won’t get fired until the board that hired him does.
Brazil and Argentina are no longer on the map to keep winning championship cause everybody has woken up as a top 5 player in around the world
Final: USA vs Argentina/ uruguay . Usa usa usa 🎉🥳.
not so sure about that. i have them placing 2nd in the group. Then they have to play brazil in the knockout round which will be tough.
@@bathingapp891
Use 8-1-1 formation againts Brazil / Colombia then win PK . Slonina should learn from Emiliano Martinez how to stop PK 🥳 .
USA might win game if they are lucky.
@@slingstone well, consider current Uruguay & Argentina form . Event as USA fans i'm not sure 😅 . Uruguay under Bielsa just soooo gooood. Argentina create incredible player time by time , Messi , Alvarez , Nico paz , allister , Romero , veliz , Castellanos. Too many .
Uruguay didn’t even get out of their WC group WHO scared
Haven’t watched fútbol in a year?
Uruguay changed a lot since last year
I love when it’s easy to pick the people that don’t watch other teams.
Yeah Uruguay are exactly like at the World Cup. Don’t worry about them. 😂
Why aren't there more jamaican players in the mls
Because the best Jamaican players are English imports and play in England. Some of their better Jamaican born players do play in MLS, though they are mostly role players for their clubs.

@@donviajero2580The best Jamaican player is a German important and was developed in Bundesliga: Leon Bailey.
