As someone from El Paso TX, I was very excited about Pepi's form this season. When he wasn't called up for the world cup I was devastated.
Hes garbage bro but then again the whole team is
Even the Local News there was pissed that he didn't get called up. They hope Greg gets Sacked.
Same bro.
@@AKUNJIG if he gets sacked who else will be our manager?
@@flamminboi4507 His Contract runs out after the WC. So it's up in the Air if he comes back.
Actually surprised he didnât find a way to squeeze Zardes in there
I'm only remebered him on Backed by Messi on Adidas and Journey in FIFA...
@@harizzakwan580 I remember him from fifa mobile in 2018 haha.
I remember him becuase I met him
I remember him for his hair

As a Belgian I was so surprised not to see McKenzie in the squad. He's been class this season. Not taking either Pefok or Pepi was also so strange to me.
As someone who watched McKenzie pass it straight to a Mexican forward two yards from the goal in the Nations League Final, he was dead to me at that point.
nah McKenzie is poor for the USA
McKenzie is injured, Pefok scored 6 goals for union, disappeared, no longer starts, and scored only 1 in 9 for the USMNT in a tournament of B teams.
Arno Cardon It's strange to an outsider seeing a non-UEFA/CONMEBOL team sabotage their squad like this but you have to understand that US Soccer federation and MLS have vested business interests with each other and they use our national team as a marketing platform for MLS players. Anyone who denies this is either an MLS fanboy deep in denial or someone who is simply ignorant of how our federation works. When you understand this, that's when everything from the awful MLS forced callups to Berhalter's hiring to Don Garber fighting former USMNT manager Klinsmann in public over MLS's level all make sense.
@@hyperrat12 that's still more than anything Jordan Morris has done though.
Yeah I was waiting for this. Portuguese here, but have been following Pepi since his early MLS days, and it is an absolute travesty that he hasn't been called up.
Ganda basco
TĂĄs a falar bem
Pepi is a kinda talented player, but he hasn't perform the best in the Bundesliga
@@stebentifer2220 Pulisic struggles in the prem but he is still easily the best player on the USMNT, any US player in the bundesliga is likely to be good enough for the national team
@@deeznoots6241 Pepi isn't a Bundesliga Player, he got loaned out to the Eredivisie.
this really is one of the world cup squads of all time
Of a the 32 squads making it, this is definitely one of them
@@isaacalcala808 đđ
The US is so good, that they will probably be one of the 32 squads to make it to the final.
Truly the world cup squad of all time
Pepi literally saved Greggâs job and then he gets snaked for a guy who has done fuck all for us.
More like save all of us, I doubt Gregg would've been fired.
Lol no he didnt that game was all antonnee robinson. Pepi got spoon fed that goal. If it werent for the other players nobody would know who pepi is today.
I mean you canât deny that heâs inform. Thatâs the reason heâs on the plane
Welcome to the club Maqwell. I already lost hope for Mexico and I know how it feels. Also full apologize for me being negative.
you can't lose to poland that's for sure
@@NicolasTagliafico420 true but never underestimate your enemy. Never counted your chickens until they hatch
I also support Mexico so I know how u feel because of Tata Martino making the wtf call ups
Facil Facil đđđ
How could you have hope? Mexico will send their best 11 campesinos to a footballing tournament...
I'm Mexican American and a huge Pepi fan. When he chose the US over Mexico, I was happy because I thought he had a solidified spot and the US needed him more. To seem him be left out after saving us in WCQ and after finally finding form in the Eredivisie breaks my heart and pisses me off. Why is Morris in the squad. They really did my boi Pepi dirty :(
@David Montgomery Sargent shouldnât have been called up
It's berhalter fault for treating him like garbage.
@David Montgomery Only if he learned to stay forward and stopped being a defensive striker should he be called up
@David Montgomery letâs hope it translates to the national team then
â@@m.c.martin Gregg literally makes his strikers play defensively instead of being a goal threat. Running up and down the field and chasing opposing players is Gregg's gamelan.
Ah yes
Maxwell dying from the inside
I hope Ricardo Pepi sees all the love heâs getting from the fans. We know, we roll with him
how is Pepi not called wtf. Even as a german Im bewildered, man is balling in the Netherlands unlike his time at Augsburg.
Steffen > Johnson
Palmer-Brown > Moore
McKenzie (Brooks) > Long
Tillman > Roldan
Pefok > Morris
Pepi > Ferreira
I think Gregg has broken this man đ
đđ€Ł bro needs to check into a mental hospital after this
Just like me with the spanish one and Luis Enrique
ong he decided to take Eric Garcia, but not Sergio Ramos
Yeah wth is he doing? No De Gea, Thiago, or Ramos.
Some coaches have had some baffling picks to say the least
Letâs be honest here,
We all knew Enrique would do us like thatâŠ
I hope Marcelino takes over the team after the cup!
It's cause Enrique is anti Madrid/Castilla in general he's the Manger version of pique
Seeing my bro Maqwell going down the 5 stages of grief on this video was quite depressing, yet entertaining to see
And just as everyone says, this is pretty much how we Mexican fans feel about our team every single world cup, i understand your pain bro
Faxx, VIVA Mexico
at least u always qualify and pass group stages...
im canadian
@@jk-gb4et congratulations on Canada making it to the world cup
@@Temperus67265 đšđŠ đđČđœ
Gregg encouraged Pepi to go to Europe and take on a more difficult challenge than MLS. He did that and Gregg selected Jesus. I think the MLS quota is real. Pepi still made the right choice for his career and Gregg will be let go shortly after the World cup. Hope we see Pepi in the U-20 WC.
I heard pepi is injured
Gregg wouldnât even have a job if Pepi didnât save him against Honduras.
As an Internacional fan, im a bit sad Johnny Cardoso didnt make it in, he has been a solid player in our team
My little brother is going to be one of the kids with the players during the US vs Wales game. If they put him next to walker zimmerman i swear to god
What's he look like?
I havenât seen every teams squad yet but all the teams I have seen have had some absolute selection shockers. Do managers and selectors not want to win the World Cup?
Given lots of players are in mid season form and a good chunk of players are hurt, letâs just say, lots of managers arenât happy with their pool of players right now
Well, with the English team, you could basically tell who they were taking from the start. At first, I was kind of surprised that they took Rashford because of his injury/bad form last season, but then I remembered it's Rashford and there is no way England is kicking him off.
Looking forward to playing you guys in the inevitable 0-0 draw
And both England and USA crashing out of the group stage as the result.
@@evonneokafor The draw happened but the group stage crashing out didn't, which was a pleasant surprise.
as a Sunderland fan Iâm sad lynden gooch hasnât been called up, if your squad is going to be shit might as well add a Papa Johns Trophy winner to add some star power
Imagine being in the same group as England, Wales and Iran and Wales are the most optimistic team rn.
Nah Iran are - Wales and England has a poor nations league and US should have dominated qualifying but scraped through
@@JohnHolywell Iran definitely arenât, nobody there even cares about the World Cup because of whatâs going on in that country at the moment
@@JohnHolywell uh ye, been watchin the news lately in Iran bud?
@@walincoln7033So???? Wtf does that have to do with football! Their team is very good and have been in very good form dominating asian qualifying and their strike force of Asmoun and Taremi is very dangerous. Even Alireza Jahanbakhsh is still going strong!
@@JohnHolywell just saying, it's bound to affect the players on some level
You should talk about how Ecuador pulled out of hosting the COPA America 2024. This could be a great chance for the United States to host again and to participate in the tournament
WHAT THE HELL?!?!? WHY ARENâT WE TAKING PEPI?!?!?!?!?
This is the saga I've been waiting for,
the one we all needed!
I also feel bad for Pepi, he's been doing well in our Eredivisie for a Groningen side that has been struggling so far this season. When I heard he was fighting for his World Cup spot for the USMNT I started rooting for the guy, so I feel bad that he didn't succceed.
On another note I am glad for Luca de la Torre (I knew him from Heracles, last season) and Dest.
alrighty then, time to prepare my resume for the usmnt manager spot in december
you will get it for sure considering its only the trying hard wannabe current coach you have to beat
Maqwell know realizes what itâs like to be Mexico fan when they released the lineup for the gold cup final, and for the Nations league final, and World Cup qualifiers, and in most of the international games weâve played!!
Also, for that Pepi miss, hope he got what he deserved for what he said about his own people!! That piece of garbage!!
And Germany between 2017 and 2021 before Flick!
@@m.c.martin Germany at least have something good to make themselves proud. What do we have? Gold cups?
the pattern for berhalter here is including atleast one veteran in each position of the field (yedlin-defense, roldan-midfield, morris-attack) whether they deserve the cap or not its clear berhalter wants to balance the youth here.
Gregg Berhalter is a non-sentient lifeform and tool of the MLS-SUM-USSF Industrial Complex.
Iâm surprised that Harry Maguire is in the England team... but as a Brazilian I am happy af because we can take advantage of that hahahaha.
Maguire for England is different to Maguire for United.
Plus Englands weakest position is central defenders
(We should have brought Tomori but oh well)
I love Reece James for my club, but Iâm not mad heâs not going lol
As a Brazilian, who did Tite call up that is the equivalent of Harry Maguire? Aka who did the general public hate but knew Tite would bring?
I'll be honest, Maguire is not as bad as everyone believes and in the England team he plays completly different so i think you shouldn't be understimating him or the Eng team
@@dixoncider8372 Fred maybe? Idk, Iâm not Brazilian but Martinelli and Alves have also been shouts for controversial picks to far
Think about it though, our game plan is to have the least static attack possible. Weah, Pulisic, Sargent, Reyna, Aaronson, there is no room for a stagnant number 9 looking for tap ins. All of our attacking players are really good ball progresses. If we donât have possession Pepi is invisible, what are the chances he even touches the ball against any top ten country.
Joe Scally is playing really good at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. Wasn't surprised to see him called up. Meanwhile Pepi at FC Augsburg couldn't fit in.
Greetings from Germany
Pepi got loaned out this season
That painful laugh at the end is so relatable.
Of course we have to fully support this team, but itâs hard when you know one of our young stars, Ricardo Pepi, was left out. I feel so bad for him.
Pefok and Pepi not on the plane but Morris with his 11 goal contributions in about 30 mls games makes the cut lmao
The USMNT and the MLS have to have a contractual agreement for the USMNT to have a certain % of MLS players at this point, thereâs no other way there should be this many
MLS quota
Iâm a rangers fan , not remotely surprised that CCV got called up as heâs the best defender in the league but I expected at least sands for his defensive break up play or Tillman for his raw creativity to be selected for the USMT
Celtic fan here, really rate Tillman and yes, itâs no surprise at all that CCV got called up. probably the best player in the league.
@@matthewfbridges I would personally say jota is the best in the league but CCV is still brilliant none the less
Isn't Sands injured?
@@tacticalmanagerbabymommaak5825 donât believe so but the state of rangers injury list I wouldnât be remotely surprised if he is
I get why Pepi didnât make it, and didnât expect Brooks to make it after falling out with Berhalter, and should defo be in the squad over Long, but no Pefok for me is insane, idk wtf he is doing, surprised Joe Scally actually made the squad too
The US bout to do an England 2016
Tbf things did get better
Iceland is not in this world cup though
What kills me is that everyone knows our biggest problem is scoring goals. We're the king of the 1-0 win, 1-1 draw, and 1-0 loss in competitive matches.
And yet for the world cup Berhalter picks the SAME GUYS who can't score. Hell, we left the second leading scorer on the second best team in Germany AND our second leading scorer in qualification AT HOME. What the hell? They're rhe exact kind of distributing strikers a team like ours need.
You know who couldnt score or let alone get possesion of the ball for a whole year after a lucky game? Ricardo pepi.
Despite some questionable picks, this is still the most talented squad that the U.S. has sent to a World Cup in a long time.
And the only thing that could hold them back is bad coaching.
@@manjon217 Which is exactly why were going out in the group stages
First video of Maqwell's I watched. I like the guy. Nice to see people of Vietnamese descent doing football soccer content with an American English accent. There is so much British accent I can take about association football.
Hi Maqwell, great video as always! Can I ask you, out of curiosity, if you're by any chance planning to do a video on this year's Napoli's exploit? In my 15 years of being a Serie A fan I honestly never seen anything like them, basically putting one hand on the scudetto since November
It is a good day when Maxwell uploads
"This man sends sitters to space" đ đ
No Pepi no party đą
Pepi
man, i love your video. your swearing pretty much sums up everyones frustration.
I love seeing my teams kit in one of your videos. Thanks for wearing it đ€đ
It is just the inconsistency with Gregg, like if there is any quality I admire about him and how he selects his squads itâs that he sticks with his guys. When pepi was struggling he stuck with him. When he brought haji in and struggled he didnât care cause it wasnât one of his guys. but than he goes and just changes things up. this man is clueless
I feel bad for Pepi, he should have went with mexico
You fucing TIC-TAC killed me lol
Still surprised how Morris is always on the squad lol
Iâve been a sounders fan since 2009 so I know im a bit biased⊠but jordan Morris and cristian roldan donât deserve all this slander man. Jordan Morris has fought through injury after injury often times ending his whole season and still fought back time and time again and came back. Heâs been working his ass off to make it to a World Cup since 2015 and he definitely deserves a spot over Paul Arriola. His stats may not be there, but he and cristian have been a huge part of the sounders dominating MLS over the past 5 years.(not this last season of course but you get my point) if you watch a lot of sounders games you wouldnât even question this roldan pick because heâs like a kante type of player just doing all the dirty work and doing it really well. Criminally underrated. I hope they get the chance to prove you wrong in the tournament!
hohum...they will have a chance...though to prove that we were all right to begin with...Morris and Roldan were chosen not because of their football ability (?) but because of the MLS quota
Itâs good to hear an honest opinion that doesnât suck up to the US soccer establishment like every other soccer showâŠ.
As someone that came through the US youth system there is a staggering amount of nepotism and favoritism. Literally was once told I was better than the other player in my position but âthe other guys father is best friends with the coachâ. This wasnât even the most egregious example of it either.
I cussed out my TV when Pefok got snubbed.
This Is the first world cup i will watch with the USA in it that I can actually remember, I will have to watch Jordan Morris, and Christian Roldan play in the first world cup I will ever see.
This upload came in clutch work got called off this morning because of rain so Iâm awake at 5 am for no reason
Yeah, Morre, Roldan, and Morris are a head scratcher.
I like your passion. Keep it up.
Mexico fan here. Honestly, thanks for making us feel blessed. Compared to yals manager đđ wish yal the best.!
Speaking of the ISL, Could you do a video on the ISL, it's past, present and future prospects?
Iâm more of a Canadian fan (Iâm dual citizenship) soâŠ. Weâre just happy to be here for the first time in 30+ years. Dude, if we score A SINGLE GOAL, Iâm partying.
Iâd be rooting for Scotland (my dad was very Scottish) but⊠didnât make it again.
If the us make it to the round of 16 I will change my mind about the squad but for now question still be asked
they are not making it out of the group, most especially if Beerholder plays all his MLS inclusions all at the same time
@@yddubbud8229 Some MLS inclusions are fine, but ones like Long and Morris will fuck us over massively
yoooo, pogchamps. getting to see Maqwell dis on on his seppo's almost right as the video lands lets gooooo, let's hope somehow America does worse in their group than Austalia does in their lets go aye
Hahaha!!!This is the most hilarious video regarding your United States' national team's twenty one men squad and I know what you would be thinking in your mind,good friend Maqwell!!!đ
Let's use this space to share the squad we could've take:
Turner Slonina Horvath
Brooks McKenzie Vickers Zimmerman
Scally Yedlin
Robinson Vines
McKennie Adams Acosta Parks
Aaronson Mihailovic
Reyna Weah
Pulisic Kikanovic
Pefok Pepi
3 extras:
Ream
Musah
Sargent
It couldâve been a lot worse but it sucks because it could be so exciting to watch, glad to see Reyna pulisic and McKinnie getting their first shot in the World Cup
Ricardo Pepi decided correctly. I'm pretty sure if he decided to play for us, Martino would have called Funes Mori, RaĂșl JimĂ©nez and JesĂșs Corona before him. Hell, he'd probably call Santiago JimĂ©nez and Javier Hernandez (they are, for some reason, enemies of the FEMEXFUT) before Pepi.
I hope this decision from the USMNT doesn't explode in their faces
Man f that hope he leaves and comes to his roots we need a striker he has an undisputed spot fs
@@wereallyrollin6680 No, we don't. We need to get rid of the Federation and the way things are done now. Thanks to that, we're taking Ochoa, Talavera and someone else to the World Cup and blocking someone like Acevedo, who actually knows how to go for a ball. We don't have Hernandez, we lack pace on the midfield because we are putting 38-39 year olds as distributors. We need to change the system first
Morgan Freeman as narrator: But we all knew that the USMNT would implode on itself.
@@wereallyrollin6680 He canât leave the US.
Chicharito is hated by femexfut cause of some shit he said about them. Santi doesn't play or ever played for any of the regios or América. We all know televisa and los regios run the show behind the scenes that's why Funes mori and Gallardo are going despite being absolute wank.
Someone should subscribe to Maqwell's Patreon with the name Gregg Berhalter to see how he reacts.
The new Nike usa hoodie thatâs all blue and says states across the chest is so clean so simple yet so nice!đđŸ
That laugh in the beginning though. Exactly how I feel
This is how England feels. Now you know
I like to think gregg spells his name with the extra g because of how people drag out his name in exasperation
NASA wanted Ferreira but USMNT took him first đđđ
As soon as Morris came back I had commented on other Channels Greg would take Morris over Pepi, but taking a Roldan as well is just insane , Pepi contributed more than Morris , Sargent Roldan ,and Ferriera. Morris is a token call up I dare say why ?
I was waiting for this vid, almost threw my phone when I saw the list
I'm a little shocked that Pefok wasn't called up into the team but...that's Berhalter for ya! That aside, I just hope we do well in this tournament, I doubt it but yeah.
I've been waiting on Maxwell's response as soon as the squad for the world cup was announced
This man sends sitters into space đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Scenes as Jordan Morris scores 18 goals and wins the World Cup
Are you gonna do this for the other concacaf teams when they announce their squad?
I died when you said âto Marsâ đđđ
If this was a 23 man squad like every World Cup has been in the past Roldan wouldnât haven been on the plane. But you also gotta remember heâs a great locker room guy
Wake up babe, new Maqwell content
Indifference is the only way
Gotta fill that MLS qouta. đđđ€Ł
i know the pain, Norway has not qualified for a tournament since the year before i was born, we have a very strong and promising young team, but cant even qualify in a group with a faltering Netherlands team, and a turkey team that failed to live up to any of its promise during the euros in 2021
As a Celtic fan Iâm extremely happy to see CCV in the team!
Bro you guys have a good pool to select players from for your national team , here in South Africa we have too many problems. Many players are not given a chance to go overseas and others donât want to go when the chance presents itself. Locally youngsters are not given a chance at senior level. Even those who breakthrough donât get regular game time. Thereâs no incentive to produce players and get them playing at high levels. Our overseas based footballers are not getting regular gametime at their clubs. đŻ whole lotta ish
i was like this when i saw wondow in the 2014 squad. i knew if he came in we were doomed. and sure enough! i had seen him in the 2011 gold cup against the first panama game. and bruh missed from 6 ft out. adn ever since then i knew he wasnt for our squad and yeah it happened again in 2014 on a much bigger stage.
As a groningen fan i am so confused why pepi isnât called up. I was so sure he would go to qatar cause he has been amazing for us so far
Taylor booth de betere Amerikaan laatst đ€«đ
I can get that there are some people that surprised us, but I'm not surprised that Ferreira made it. I am surprised that his teammate, Paul Arriola, did not make it after his best season ever, but Ferreira also had his best season ever as well. One thing that a lot of my FC Dallas friends can agree with is that Pepi made his move to Europe WAAAAAY too early. He went almost a full year without scoring a single goal and he did not get back to his FC Dallas 2021 form until he was loaned out to another club. So am I surprised that Pepi didn't make it? A little, but he did not really show much even after he made his move to Augsburg until he got loaned out to Gronigan. Ferreira more than makes his case after some pretty good caps with the USMNT as well as a breakout year with FC Dallas.
You say Cristian Roldan the American Zidane ....... that's positivity par excellence.

Do you think that club contracts kind of have a say squad selection? I feel like maybe certain players canât be called up because of contracts?
Wise worlds on Dest and Ajax
Hey, at least you can take solace that you likely will be not bottom of the group by beating England because Southgate will place a target (fridge) for Reyna and Pulisic to spin around.
