As corrupt as your federation is they let go of Cocca quickly. I doubt US soccer would do the same.
@@pikachuuprising637he coach isn’t the problem. The entire federation is in the hands of the TV stations and a couple of clubs. No matter who the coach is, the TV stations will always have a last say on lineups and call ups

Same as a Canadian. We tanked ever since the World Cup and and Canada Soccer is a disaster. There's even talk of going bankrupt 💀
Love how you wore a Hertha kit for this video. Nothing emanates dread and disaster like Hertha does.
Also, I feel you, I really do. As a German, I have never felt less optimism for the national team. Croneyism, weird (non-)tactics, weird formations and player positions. If that comforts you somehow.
Now imagine being German-American🫠
Yeah, Germany's had a rough 2023 so far. Including losing a match to a bunch of bunglers who'd get chewed up and spat out by Moldova four days later.
You need Pacal Groß
Honestly the half the problem eith germany is half the attack is lazy ash
It's the definition of " visual storytelling" and "subtext"
The last nations league without Berhalter went the way it should be. Thrashing both Mexico and Canada. After that, there is absolutely no reason to rehire Berhalter.

I was expecting this too
Bj Callahan has done more in just 3 games than Gregg berhalter has all these years.
The US has only conceded 1 goal with him as coach. He’s done amazing

@@saaaiiiko there was but ok
@@Yung_D-Lo there’s a massive difference between an A team and a C team
Its a good day when you come back from training to see maxwell rant about the us federation
as a hertha fan, thanks for reminding me about our miserable season with your shirt
club is in shambles but drip kits forever
"Look at the squad we have, we can do so much more!"... that's literally how every Dutch person feels about the Dutch national team. The only actually competent game we played at the world cup was against the US... And that was because the US had pretty lacking offense, we had decent defence and almost all players had a cold so they played to conserve energy (except for Dumfries, that guy is a beast). The squad showed how well they can play, how good they can pass and play as a team... only to just fucking suck against Argentina.
We got higher profile players than the US, but if the US had a bit stronger offense and our tactics were not changed because of illness we might've just lost. It's ridiculous.
As a dutchman I agree we could easily challenge with the top of the world but no we always fuck up in the end
Lol stop being dramatic, the dutch completely outclassed usmnt in everyway all your players are being then theirs
@@luckymark571 and we are still getting fucked over by the coaches. That's the entire point
I cannot defend the lack of defense on the two Dutch goals during the WC. EMBARRASSING
I'd like to see the dutch succeed but I don't see that happening with someone like koeman in charge. The man's a complete joke when it comes to picking squads and making important subs. In my opinion he is the worst coach ever
Put some respect on BJ Callaghan’s name he’s really getting the most out of these guys and I think we should’ve gave him more time
Out in semifinals against Panama.
@@SantiHRod With a C squad lol, Berhalter would've been out in quarters fs
Not american, but I guess what happens is that the federation doesn't ever quite know what to expect from the team, so watching it qualify for the world cup so many times and get past the group stage makes them think Gregg might be kinda good, not realising two things; that they get there despite Gregg, not thanks to him, and that they're in the fucking CONCACAF.
had to go back here after our loss vs Panama tonight....
Even tho my country conceded 9 goals 2 times in the last 5 years, im happy ill never have to see belhalter as manager
I always thought the US should get an British or south american coach for their national team since it will improve their culture in a big way. They will learn a lot of new things
.
no
Probably improve their tactics but culture is a personality and man management thing
honestly , if he didn't get the everton job the usa should have hired sean dyche
Imagine we had bielsa
@@ibnbattuta7031 I mean he's an expert on giving nations a football culture(Chile for example) In argentina on 2002 he was a disaster and I think he's going to succeed on uruguay.
Berhalter saw Reyna playing again and said, "nah, we can't be having that" 😭😭😭
I feel like the usa can become a good national team, but the federation keeps hiring inept managers like berhalter.
real bruh
That's what every nation says about their own national team. All of them.
@@blackearl7891 The difference is that the USA have actual talented players where most play in a competitive league. Sure they might not be amazing players, but the USA should’ve performed a lot better against a team like the Netherlands
@@andrearroyo1648 what you mean against Netherland ? most europe top players came from there

@@benedicte.7355opp
@@benedicte.7355what happens if US were in the same group with either Argentina/Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay/Ecuador and Paraguay
@@death2641 US probably in pot 1 as hosts, which is cannot meet Argentina/Brazil or even Mexico (based or FIFA rankings).
If that so, Gregg should be.... I don't know! I don't get it why??!! Probably USA's group is with Ecuador,Paraguay,and Panama. That's my prediction. If that so as your predictions, it's too hard. Gregg should put Reyna and Pepi instead Jordan freakin Morris, and don't put Aaron freakin Long! If they want to qualify to knockouts
Berhalter is the American Fernando Santos - Won two very important titles for the USA (same for Portugal with Fernando Santos by winning Euro 2016 and the UEFA Nation's League 2019), boring ass tactics and questionable lineups, always with difficulties with bigger teams, and so on. The Portuguese Federation and the USA Federation are in terms of managing stuff similar
Oh fun fact: When the USA Federation announced the come back of Berhalter, I was in a wine tasting event. The fucking irony
My portuga friends and relatives nicknamed him Fernando "Asno" Santos lmao. Btw, I absolutely agree with them. A team so talented and historic as Portugal shouldn't be headed by a coach so limited
@@bigguy8435 Yeh and many other nicknames for a coach who belongs to a generation when Portuguese football wasn't about tactics but pure raw player skill.
And despiste with Roberto Martinez we still haven't lost a game and scored 14 goals and conceded none, the team is still like ass. But tbh, suffering is on our Portuguese blood
take your upvote for being at the wine tasting during this
@@goncaloaugusto2807Eh atleast you have good players, the US has always had mediocre to garbage players
As a German maybe you could do a Video of the Downfall by the German national Team since 2017 its just depressing and funny at the Same time by now. Would appreciate since we feel your suffering.

@@SuperClappy1984 i still feel bad u guys lost in the final to ITALY
Welp
CZcams knew Max was depressed enough so they saved time on his thumbnail picking
Personally, I get the frustration. As a Romanian I would die for us to have the potential and infrastructure the US have in football, and it is sad to see these players potentially getting ruined because of a coach that can't put proper tactics
With the US it's really not that, they have a overrall mediocre playerpool look at where they are in europe warming benches, getting injured, getting relegated and ultimatly being mediocre 😂
@luckymark571 yeah but tbf if you look where our players are playing you are gonna say USA looks 10x better, our best players are playing the Serie B, Scottish League, Spanish Second Division and what? Our internal shitty league lmao

Unlike the US and my team Mexico, you guys at least have championships.
@@LibertarianMexican yes but that was almost decade ago and germany has been disappointing ever since. Didn't pass the group stage at the world cup twice in a row with really easy groups. Euros only quarter finals. And didn't win the last friendly matches VS Ukraine, Poland and Columbia

let's be real they only hired Berhalter because he was the only one who stayed through the whole interview process. I can picture literally every other coach storming out the second they found out all the dumb shit they'd have to get through

i for one think he is a great manager and he lead the usa to glory (im lying)
what a cruel joke🤣🤣🤣
I feel like the USA are too entitled they got into a World Cup with a mid squad and got to the last 16
I agree, some of those players are overhyped but their team could definitely play much better football if they had a good coach
@@benjaminbronnimann3966Eh can they tho? All there players are mid to garbage in europe
@@luckymark571 ofcourse they could. If your team has a terrible coach it could always play much better with a good coach
@@benjaminbronnimann3966 I guess but its not guranteed especially if the are mediocre
@@luckymark571 success is never guaranteed, they would still play better football if their coach was decent though, Berhalter is impressively good at not playing to his teams strengths
Oh and during all this Brazil went and got Ancelotti. Be it he won't join for another year but still, yeah.
At 11:08 where he shows Gregg’s record as national team coach, I find it kinda funny that his overall career win percentage is still only 43%, and that’s DESPITE the fact that his national team percentage was 61%. It’s almost like if he didn’t have the best ever generation of US players, playing in one of the worst eras in the history of Concacaf, which is already near the middle to bottom end as confederations go, that he wouldn’t have looked so good at his job, not that he ever did when in charge of the team
The Pepi snub for the world cup can't forgot about that.
Sick video man, in the Netherlands wefe going through sum stuff with players aswel. Could you do a video about that? Big respect to your content man.
Maqwell: into the Maqverse
I feel like this symbolized our country as whole let alone the soccer system
I hope that Greg has something new though. I am still hopeful that 2026 is going to be our year. And if not maybe Japan will give me hope
With all due respect, the only way it's gonna be is like making a semi-final. Unless half of Argentina, France & Brazil break their legs.

bro u have impecable music taste, that transition with the Makoto Matsushita song really caught me by surprise, his music is incredible
USUALLY Maxwell is speaking with confidence and clearly and with conviction. This is the first time I’ve seen him fully dejected. Not pissed or angry but dejected. I relate rn tho for the same reason
Having the correct man for the job is key, argentina before scaloni was a disaster, then he came in and everything started to change and feel different
It feels just like the first time that they hired Berhalter in saying that they spent all this time and effort looking at numerous options but in reality Greg was their first and only choice but he wanted to wrap things up with Columbus and see if he could win the mls cup with them. Same thing this time only he just wanted to go on vacation these last 6 months and hope that people forgot about all that happened. It felt like smoke and mirrors then and it feels like smoke and mirrors now.
ran to this video 😭(once i saw greg in the picture)
If the producer of Ted Lasso take notes of the current USMNT issue, they could make a whole new season of the show
never get sick of your music choices, sneaking in "Love was Really Gone" @0:52, that whole album is killer

Love the Hertha Berlin Jersey. Iconic
Crazy that Maxwell didn't upload a video relating to the Vietnamese football.
But, as you may know on, the Vietnamese football is too busy this summer. After the SEA Games' nightmare, the U-17 disappointed a lot with a dead last place in Asian Cup, losing to Japan and Uzbekistan, and even failed to beat India.
There was still the women's team playing in this year's World Cup, but playing in Group of Death with 2 previous finalists (USWNT and Netherlands), as well as newcomers Portugal, won't be an easy task. Vietnam facing USWNT only brought the memories back to when Thailand got destroyed 0-13 in 2019.
I mean that’s to be expected with bad planning. They totally wasted the training camp in Germany last year, fielding a squad with only 3 eligible for this year’s U17 Asian Cup. Our youngsters season is not that long, in fact it’s probably only longer than Greenlandic football season. While Japanese players literally play all year round, Uzbeks still can use those Soviet facilities, Indians doing a long tour to play European U16s (?), there is barely any news about our preparation, just playing some high school teams in Japan. They are not even good.
A Max video a day keeps the emotional pain away (unless it’s with usmnt)
Love you man!
I've been waiting for this video since he was announced as head coach lmao finally!!!
I was waiting patiently for this video😂
11:26 were crumbling too, Canadian FA went bankrupt 😂
Watching us try to score under berhalter always reminds me of gerard depardiu 's crack about method actors..."they strain for hours to shit a tiny turd"
Yeah, this is gonna be fun
i would love to see a video essay on the irish national team, i love ur style of videos so i think it would suit...and kinda similar to usa as well xD
Perfect jersey choice for saying "I can't be happy for more than a week, can I?"

I freaking love your videos, you’re the master roaster Lol 😂
Remember that lineup he rolled out against Panama in WC Qualifying? Starting Arirola, Zardes, Lletget, Acosta, Moore, & Bello was a fireable offense right then and there. And when he made substitutions, did he sub out Lletget or Acosta for Adams? No! He took out Musah! Did he put sub in Roldan to play in the midfield for Lletget or Acosta? No, he pulled Weah and put Roldan on the wing! And who did he sub on for Shaq Moore? Yedlin! JFC I'm angry all over again.
if england does the same thing with gareth southgate i might just go and support iceland or something
@@user-jt4pk8ii4zhe plays boring football and he's afraid of change he's ass
@@user-jt4pk8ii4zThe problem with Southgate is that the only ‘great’ team he’s beaten in tournament football, was a declining Germany team at Euro 2020 (2021). Every time he’s faced a team either near or on England’s level, they’ve been eliminated. 2018 World Cup- lost to Belgium twice, and lost to Croatia, 2020 (2021) Euros- Lost to Italy on penalties, 2022 World Cup- lost to France. Every team Southgate has beaten in knockout competition besides Germany and maybe Colombia, have clearly been a worse team than England. Losing to France is fine, but the loses against both Croatia and Italy, were down to Southgate being outclassed tactically. Southgate does get too much hate, and he is England’s second most successful manager ever. Furthermore, the players are an united front for once; however, when you apply context to his achievements, and recognise the fact that every time he’s lost in tournament football it’s because he’s been outclassed tactically, then Southgate needs to improve tactically in order to continue progressing far in tournaments/potentially even winning an international tournament.
@@user-jt4pk8ii4z Firstly, I acknowledged the fact that Southgate receives too much hatred, as well as recognising that he’s clearly England’s second most successful manager ever. However, just because previous managers failed, it doesn’t mean that you should now praise Gareth Southgate to the 10th degree. Previous England managers severely underperformed and failed to meet expectations, whilst Southgate has met expectations by beating the teams he was supposed to beat. Italia 90, and Euro 96 are perfect examples of semi final losses where England lost, but they were the better team, and they weren’t tactically outclassed. If Southgate wasn’t being tactically outclassed every time England faced a team at or near their level, then there wouldn’t be any valid criticism that can be levied against him. Even if England don’t win Euro 2024, as long as they have a deep tournament run, and Southgate isn’t tactically outclassed, then it would no longer be fair to criticise him at that point. I would then turn my attention to the players as there’s only so much Southgate can do (in the specific context outlined above). I also credited him for uniting the players, and never called for him to be replaced. Gareth Southgate deserves to be England manager; but, it’s also true that he needs to improve his tactics against elite opposition, in order for England to actually win a tournament or even reach an international tournament final again.
Don't forget that Van Gaal roasted Berhalter ball after knocking us out of the WC 😂
It was a little scary how much this felt like the situation in my Brazil, only we will be without a coach for longer.
But, you got to the point that "you don't choose who you're going to face" and then, I tell you, not ironically, that merging CONCACAF and CONMEBOL would do wonders for Mexico, the USA and Canada because of the jump in competition.
Following the Gold Cup, albeit from a distance, and I can't help of feeling that this is being basically a blazé tournament with cool stories being hidden by the fact that the good teams practically don't care about the business. For real, will end up being better for both Confederations.
i’ve been waiting for this ever since i saw the news

ROLDAN , JORDAN MORRIS AND SHAQ MORE ! CANT WAIT LETS GO BABY
I really need to know what went in to this selection process because like you said, the evidence with Berhalter is there for the past 4 years, so idk what he said to make them think he's gonna turn into Pep Guardiola for this next cycle. It's sad because our team has a lot of potential and I think we can AT LEAST make the quarterfinal in 2026, but it's all down the drain because he's gonna bring on Jordan Morris.
