Please for the love of God understand that a manager won’t change the fundamental things wrong with the USSF. Unless you don’t fire him like you did to Jurgen who was right. All the money you talk about needs to go to building pitches, unlocking goals in the off-season, improved infrastructure, coach education, creating creative players who have emotional intelligence and won’t punch someone in the back of the head

Do you think the women's players are going to get upset because the men's team brings in Klopp, or some other big name coach they have to pay a lot for? Especially when the women get more money when the men's team makes more money.
I mean they wouldn’t make a lot more money even if they hire Klopp. It’s not like people will pay many times the amount of money for Gold Cup tickets next year just hire Klopp as the coach. They won’t be making any major amount of money until 26 wc. They’ll make a lot of money from the World Cup no matter who is the coach. A huge salary hire like Klopp is solely a money losing move.
@@mathewheffley121 There were un-sold seats in KC for the game against Uruguay. Bring in Klopp and there's a good chance a lot of those get sold. Even games with the B or C teams would get more attention and higher attendance. The women's team gets a portion of whatever prize money the men get from the WC. Whatever money is spent to get Klopp, or another big name, wouldn't get taken from that since a certain amount of the prize money goes straight to the players. And getting just one game farther can mean a lot more money. Also the women have to know that even if they wanted to start complaining about spending a lot for a MNT coach it would be a PR disaster for them. They'd come off like spoilsports turn a huge portion of soccer fans against them.

So sick and tired of hearing about the women’s team!!! We are supposed to be discussing the men’s coach here, but the salary of the womens coach keeps coming up?? This country is pathetic.
I have no idea if Klopp in particular is interested or not, but it's funny that people are convinced no big coach would take the job. If the money is there they certainly will. Why wouldn't they? It's a unique opportunity to coach a huge and rich country where soccer is growing in popularity at a home world cup which will be the largest, highest attended, and most financially successful world cup in history. There's a good group of players who aren't world beaters but who have the possibility to make a decent run in the tournament. A strong showing could propel the coach to recognition in the US for years to come. It would be a feather in any coach's cap, even if just from a financial point of view. The thing is USSF doesn't really want to do it. They don't want to wrangle up the money and they don't really want a foreign coach.
The lawsuit is irrelevant. The judge smacked down the law suit. The law suit made no sense. It makes no sense for a group of people to make a walled off garden and say "you can't come in but we must make the same amount of money as you." The men's team and women's team operate in two different worlds. They bring in different amounts of money. The economic realities of what it takes to hire the best coaches is completely different. Linking them is nothing but extortion by the women players and virtue signalling by everyone else. It was just virtue signalling by the men's team and by USSF that they caved to the extortion.
@@krumbleme2 Klopp to USMNT. The chances of this happening are less than zero. This discussion is a colossal wankfest, especially since there is zero chance of USSF firing Berhalter. He could be banging Ernie Stewart's wife and he'd still have this job for life.

@@khiemtran7226 if US Soccer is not begging Jurgen Klopp to come coach and rolling out the red carpet in every way imaginable, that would be tantamount to criminal negligence.
All Klopp's tweet said was a basic happy 4th of July message and mentioned his travels in America with LFC . This is delusional and a joke. Jurgen already made it VERY CLEAR he's taking a long sabbatical before he even considers coaching again. He's not going to change his mind.
He wouldn't be the first to change his mind because of a very large amount of money. And he certainly wouldn't be the last. Go to him and say name your price. If they can't persuade him then at least they tried
Klopp said he was gonna take a long sabbatical after leaving the Dortmund job. He quickly changed his mind and took over Liverpool when it became available. So dont be too sure about anything. Things change very quickly in football. And Klopp has a history of changing his mind.
@@Tony-B23 why would Klopp drop his standard? Elite managers take elite jobs & I can’t see no amount of money that would make him coach the USMNT. He has options that far out way anything the US could ever offer him.
For me, it's time to go all out, the US needs to capitalize on this sutuation. This can make up for the 1932 debacle when the 3rd place 1930 US World Cup team could not put the sport on the US map when the sport was removed from the 1932 LA Olympic Games. If US Soccer wants to take this sport to another level they MUST succeed in the next WC here in the US in 2026. We need a great coach that fits the chemisty of the team, and that has already coached our two best players, a coach that thinks outside the box. That coach is Jurgen Klopp (he has coached both Pulesic and Gio Reyna at Borussia Dortmund). Come on US Soccer lets get the best man for the job and happens to be available...like NOW!!!
Fun fact: Of all the USMNT coaches in history (who coached for more than one year i.e. coaches of any consequence) Berhalter has the HIGHEST winning percentage . That belng said I think we should go with Klopp.
This highlights the problem with combining men's and women's sports in any way, even financially. It would be like combining high school and D1 college sports, they are world's apart.
They did give Emma Hayes equal pay. What company hires someone else in another department and then has to match that salary for another person in a different department? Emma Hayes is still the highest paid woman coach in soccer.
Guardiola and Klopp?! These guys are delusional! I'm American, but there is no way coaches of that caliber in their prime will ever take on any national team, let alone USMNT. They need to look at countries like Japan, Croatia, Senegal, Turkey, etc. that typically do well to get out of groups and into quarters, or on rare occasions, semis of international tournaments. And then see what they do in terms of coaching recruitment. You have to learn to walk before you can run! And the biggest elephant in the room - why is grassroots football so horribly over-priced and low quality in this country? The biggest stars all over the world have come from the favelas, barrios, shantys, slums, etc. There is a reason why 'street football' is the best place for kids to learn the beautiful game and hone their craft. The 'club' football scene in this country is just a money-grab operation run by a bunch of grifters. The coaching, the philosophy, everything about it is second-rate. It's astonishing that despite having such a large amount of youth playing football in this country that the talent isn't coming to the surface. The biggest reason is sub-par coaching that emphasizes physicality over actual technical skills and intelligence. Some of the best players, throughout the history of the game, are not physically dominant specimens - Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, Makalele, Kante, Greizmann, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, the list goes on!
@@jamesbaurus5928while I agree, the fans is a big reason why coaches choose to play at certain teams. Klopp took a pathetic Liverpool and made them a good team again. Liverpool fans are great though, whether you lose or win. At no point have I ever heard my Liverpool friends want Klopp out even after not making UCL or winning titles.
Why the f would Klopp do that? American broadcasters live in another reality, it's like a third division club from Argentina trying to hire him, same level of football too. He would never do that to his career.
Exactly. For what? So that these mediocre players who get red cards every once in a while while throwing a tantrum don’t do well and serve up mediocrity and then he gets blamed? 😂😂. Gio Reyna is either injured or on the bench for the last year and a half and does nothing in this tournament: must be Berhalter’s fault 😂😂
@@NickRiviera10139you have no idea what you're talking abouth ffs actually watch these players play for their club then watch them play for Berhalter. The difference is night and day.

You bring up one player in Reyna and you think you said something profound. 🤡 Berhalter doesn't even know how to use the players he has. You must be Berhalter on a burner account lol
We deserve a great coach and maybe Klopp is the lynchpin for soccer to finally be taken seriously here. If Messi and Klopp are in America, there is absolutely no reason the sports doesn’t become one of the most sought after Why not? The theme in America is: Go Bigger or Swing For The Fences-Klopp would be both
@@brando7266this type of coaches would only take the job if said team or nation has a chance of winning the wc in this case or they risk losing prestige, and usa doesnt have a chance to win the wc homestly and thats the issue not money.
Yes they tried to suppress Keller speaking the truth. In USWNT case where they lost because they claimed they generate more money than the men, since equal pay was implemented the women have earned more money in the last 3 years than the last 15 years because they are now being subsidised by the profits of the men’s game. So the men’s team can no longer afford top coaches and to rehire GB.
@@gabrielgonzalez6456 Correct, the contract does not prevent the men's side from paying a ton of money for a coach. It doesn't mean that the women's coach has to be paid the same. But, it does limit the amount of money they might have overall, since revenue from the men's side is subsidizing the women's side of the program as well.
It will be worth it even if only to get out of group play. If USMNT doesn’t get out of the group stage with the expanded format, it will be a total nightmare. Tell the billionaire MLS owners to chip in 1M per for the coach.
If US Soccer is serious about 2026, they’ve got a lot to change. Copa has been a fiasco. Hiring a real manager is high priority but not their biggest worry. The match at arrowhead was a joke
As a Liverpool person Klopp would consider it, money and lifestyle (he likes the US) and a new challenge, however it is far too early..another year perhaps.
I disagree with your timing. If Klopp would consider the job, I think USSF should get him in place by the end of summer so he can get used to the roster during September and October friendlies going in to Nations League in November.
Many coaches wanted the USMNT job because it is marquee because its the biggest country in the world. And if he does the bare basic he will be praised and doesnt have to worry about being fired or huge backlash or hate. It makes sense Klopp goes to England and underperforms people are saying fire him or hes awful and gets death threats and etc. USMNT job is likely one of the best jobs off that alone. You have no pressure youre in CONCACF its an easy win to least make finals. You might occasionally go to Copa America tbh even with Greg coaching they wouldve advanced if not for Weah red card. So I disagree with people USMNT is a marquee job you get to relax no hate or threats no ones saying fire you. And you have a decent talent pool of players that will potentially be growing.
It would be awesome to get a legend like Jurgen Klopp as the US men's national team coach. I don't see any american coaches taking this team to the next level. Just my opinion.
We need this guy, he can make a better team, better players. He can elevate they team to The next level both mentally and physically. But it Will need to work a program for at least 4 years. He can not makes miracles in 2 years.
Jurgen Klopp recognizes the potential of the USMNT and smells an opportunity to grow his own brand. Get more corporate sponsorship and the budget will not be the problem; the problem will only be the short-sightedness and limited imagination of the USMNT administration that thought rehiring Berhalter was a great idea.
try to keep up @justanothername5199 . The German manager has recently signed a three-year deal with SPORTFIVE, a marketing agency in which Jürgen Klopp will look to further his presence worldwide. actions speak louder than words.
Getting Klopp is Dreamland but might as well go for it. Then after we can go for realistic options such as David Moyes, Herve Rennard, or Pellegrino Matarazzo.
I mean Keller is not wrong in terms of what rules are in place, but that rule is awful. I disagree with him saying we can’t blow any budget. There are some times you risk at all
If this happened he wouldn't take a pay cut, the US is hosting WC has hosted Copa and has hosted ever single recent Concacaf tournament they have the money
Not a chance on Earth a top quality coach from Europe would ever want to come to the US for the current standards of soccer in the U.S. you're dreaming about how attractive that could ever be when he plays and coaches amongst the best there is around. Besides, you guys are so loud and full of yourselves, he couldn't stand the bravado.
Kasey really turning into the old man “get off my lawn” he doesn’t seem to want to be open to any idea that breaks away from the old standard. Hate to break it to you buddy, it’s 2024, your team doesn’t need to be top 10 in the world to be “marquee” IF you have someone like Jurgen on your touch line. His name alone will draw more eyes. Don’t need to be great to get views anymore
IF Klopp wanted to manage USMNT getting sponsors $$$$would be a non-issue. He would be a rock star day 1. Keller tap dancing around the pay question is hilarious. Trying to say the $$$ isn’t there due to equal pay on the women’s side. Anything is possible with creative forward thinking leadership.
Keller is right about the pay. It doesn't matter what contract you think you signed because the women can come back in 5 years or 10 years and sue for discrimination. They already did that once.
They sued and got laughed put of court cause their lawsuit had zero basis in reality. Market rules dictate salary, Not DEI BS. The only reason the men capitulated is they have massive pro contracts to back up their income. It wasn’t a big deal for them even though the men far exceed the women in revenue generated.
They expect us to rah rah the good ol’ USMNT team onto our guaranteed R16 elimination game as a host nation. nah you jaded old fools, the American public isn’t stupid when it comes to this sport anymore. They see the best soccer on a regular basis, they know their NT doesn’t play that brand of soccer, and until we see that brand of soccer. No one is going to care. I haven’t cared since Greg was first hired the first time, and I expect nothing until we have a quality coach that will keep these divas in check
Gender parity should not force permanently "pegging" the USWNT manager salary to the USMNT manager salary, against supply demand market forces. Gender parity should imply that a female or a male of equivalent quality would get the same salary if hired to manage the USMNT -- i.e. same position, same qualifications, same salary regardless of gender (gender blind).
"you cant spend money with the hopes you make it somewhere else" But you can, you make investments with the hope you make it back - in this case there are tangible numbers a national team gets by going further in tournaments. C'mon.
Klopp seems to be a man of character and values and as a "soccering"nation we have none of those. We are more concerned with making money in our youth programs than truly building a culture. Klopp's tweet is not a hint that he would be interested in coaching in America.
Klopp would make huge in endorsements in the states and the owner of Atlanta united gave the USSF 50 million of his own money to them im sure others would pitch in for Klopp like Canada did for marsh
So was the final word that we should pay him a ton of money because the US doesn’t care enough about soccer to keep him accountable after yelling, “we need to hold the US coach accountable” for years now?
Bro is just sending tweet. He’s literally retiring on the top of the game. Not saying he won’t be back at some point, but if he does why would it be this year, and why would he bother with the USMNT? He could have almost any job in the world. Greg B probably couldn’t land a top job in any of the top three leagues in Europe.
You have a more realsitic view on the situation then these pundits. Really, Klopp has no reason whatsoever to coach the USMNT. And when it comes to the top 5 leagues, Berhalter is the type of manager who suddenly finds himself on the bench of a mid/low tier club wich is fighting not to be relegated and for lack of money and a vision hire just some guy. The type of jobs that usually last 4-8 monts and always end in failiure.
If by keller's argument that gregg is the best we can afford, then it's time to disband the USSF...
Correct
We have to pay the women’s coach the same as the coach. That’s got a lot to do with what they can pay.

Uh I think so actually- the women may not care about the coach per se but they’ll freak out just because when they see how much a man in the sport is getting paid
@1972dsrai the women's coach doesn't have to paid the same. It's different from the players.
Klopp would revolutionise American football. He is unbelievable.
Not happening when you’d have to pay the womens coach exactly the same. Someone like Moyes or Rogers would be a good shout and a huge improvement on what you currently have and they wouldn’t completely blow the budget.
@1972dsrai If this is true then they should entirely disband the women's team and use all funds for the men's team
@@AC-im4hiDisband a women's program that has won multiple World Cups? I really hope you're just trolling.
@Johnnybgood76 Does anyone care if they win though? If they're bitching just to try and take away from the men's team then they should be disbanded. Suing your employer is honestly crazy
@@Johnnybgood76 Only the woke cares about the so-Called “US” team. Real Americans have turned our backs to those troublemakers.
Screw the women’s squad. Anyway, The European women have caught up
With them.
That being said, Klopp is only a pipe dream. It’s not happening.🤣
The fact that gender debate is being shoehorned into this is absolutely ridiculous.
Ridiculous that you're shoehorning grievances into this
Look no one thought Messi would come here. Klopp could actually bring the potential out of this squad that, individually, mostly play abroad in Europe
Maybe Americans are just not that good at soccer 🤣🤣🤣
Ots not the same though, Messi is in his retirement tour where as Klopp as a manager is in his prime and would not risk losing prestige with a nation that has no chance of winning the wc
Not happening. Just be realistic. Someone like Moyes or Rogers would be a good shout and a huge improvement on what you currently have and they wouldn’t completely blow the budget.
Messi would never have “come here” before the end of his career…just like any decent player. The USA will never have decen players due to the white nationalist structure of the association and a pay to play youth system. Mexico will get better, USA will not.
@@1972dsraimight as well keep berhalther if you’re throwing those names out there.
Klopp replaced Rogers….and I didn’t care for Rogers style. He was lucky that he had Suarez to even place as high as he did.
As German, as long as it is not England. I am ok.
However, Klopp is a top manager but the US Team is just mediocre right now and in near future. Pellegrino Matarazzo is may a better fit. Solid Bundesliga manager and American.
No one praise "equal pay".
Blank just donated $50M to build a training center in Atlanta. You’re crazy if you think we can’t come up with the funds to hire Klopp

Keller is from my second hometown of Lacey, Washington, so... I gotta defend him. His television persona could use some work, yes, but he's solidly knowledgeable. The man is into heavy metal music, too. That counts. Why? Because I said so.

So sick and tired of hearing about the women’s team!!! We are supposed to be discussing the men’s coach here, but the salary of the womens coach keeps coming up?? This country is pathetic.
They have to pay them the same to avoid another crippling lawsuit. It’s very relevant.
Its because whatever you pay the mens coach the womens has to be paid the same. That discounts you getting someone like Klopp.
@@mathewheffley121 they don't. This is BS.
@@1972dsrai no this a lie.
@@1972dsraithis is not true. Stop spewing this BS
I have no idea if Klopp in particular is interested or not, but it's funny that people are convinced no big coach would take the job. If the money is there they certainly will. Why wouldn't they? It's a unique opportunity to coach a huge and rich country where soccer is growing in popularity at a home world cup which will be the largest, highest attended, and most financially successful world cup in history. There's a good group of players who aren't world beaters but who have the possibility to make a decent run in the tournament. A strong showing could propel the coach to recognition in the US for years to come. It would be a feather in any coach's cap, even if just from a financial point of view. The thing is USSF doesn't really want to do it. They don't want to wrangle up the money and they don't really want a foreign coach.
The lawsuit is irrelevant. The judge smacked down the law suit. The law suit made no sense. It makes no sense for a group of people to make a walled off garden and say "you can't come in but we must make the same amount of money as you." The men's team and women's team operate in two different worlds. They bring in different amounts of money. The economic realities of what it takes to hire the best coaches is completely different. Linking them is nothing but extortion by the women players and virtue signalling by everyone else. It was just virtue signalling by the men's team and by USSF that they caved to the extortion.
This is utterly delusional.
What's delusional?
@@krumbleme2 Klopp to USMNT. The chances of this happening are less than zero. This discussion is a colossal wankfest, especially since there is zero chance of USSF firing Berhalter. He could be banging Ernie Stewart's wife and he'd still have this job for life.

@@chriscoates503 I would argue it's only merely delusional, not completely delusional. There is absolutely no valid reason or excuse not to try.

@@khiemtran7226 if US Soccer is not begging Jurgen Klopp to come coach and rolling out the red carpet in every way imaginable, that would be tantamount to criminal negligence.
Stop dreaming, that would be a huge step down for him. He ain't touching this dumpster fire.
All Klopp's tweet said was a basic happy 4th of July message and mentioned his travels in America with LFC . This is delusional and a joke. Jurgen already made it VERY CLEAR he's taking a long sabbatical before he even considers coaching again. He's not going to change his mind.
Sure buddy. We'll take your word for it.
He wouldn't be the first to change his mind because of a very large amount of money. And he certainly wouldn't be the last. Go to him and say name your price. If they can't persuade him then at least they tried
Klopp said he was gonna take a long sabbatical after leaving the Dortmund job. He quickly changed his mind and took over Liverpool when it became available. So dont be too sure about anything. Things change very quickly in football. And Klopp has a history of changing his mind.
@@Tony-B23 why would Klopp drop his standard? Elite managers take elite jobs & I can’t see no amount of money that would make him coach the USMNT. He has options that far out way anything the US could ever offer him.
@@Razormiller He changed his mind because Liverpool FC is one of Europe’s elite clubs with history & prestige. What does the USMNT have to offer him?
For me, it's time to go all out, the US needs to capitalize on this sutuation. This can make up for the 1932 debacle when the 3rd place 1930 US World Cup team could not put the sport on the US map when the sport was removed from the 1932 LA Olympic Games.
If US Soccer wants to take this sport to another level they MUST succeed in the next WC here in the US in 2026.
We need a great coach that fits the chemisty of the team, and that has already coached our two best players, a coach that thinks outside the box. That coach is Jurgen Klopp (he has coached both Pulesic and Gio Reyna at Borussia Dortmund).
Come on US Soccer lets get the best man for the job and happens to be available...like NOW!!!
Fun fact: Of all the USMNT coaches in history (who coached for more than one year i.e. coaches of any consequence) Berhalter has the HIGHEST winning percentage . That belng said I think we should go with Klopp.
This highlights the problem with combining men's and women's sports in any way, even financially. It would be like combining high school and D1 college sports, they are world's apart.
Bingo.
Seb says there is no coaches salary connection.
They did give Emma Hayes equal pay. What company hires someone else in another department and then has to match that salary for another person in a different department? Emma Hayes is still the highest paid woman coach in soccer.

ZERO excuse not getting Klopp if you can
Guardiola and Klopp?! These guys are delusional! I'm American, but there is no way coaches of that caliber in their prime will ever take on any national team, let alone USMNT. They need to look at countries like Japan, Croatia, Senegal, Turkey, etc. that typically do well to get out of groups and into quarters, or on rare occasions, semis of international tournaments. And then see what they do in terms of coaching recruitment. You have to learn to walk before you can run!
And the biggest elephant in the room - why is grassroots football so horribly over-priced and low quality in this country? The biggest stars all over the world have come from the favelas, barrios, shantys, slums, etc. There is a reason why 'street football' is the best place for kids to learn the beautiful game and hone their craft. The 'club' football scene in this country is just a money-grab operation run by a bunch of grifters. The coaching, the philosophy, everything about it is second-rate. It's astonishing that despite having such a large amount of youth playing football in this country that the talent isn't coming to the surface. The biggest reason is sub-par coaching that emphasizes physicality over actual technical skills and intelligence. Some of the best players, throughout the history of the game, are not physically dominant specimens - Garrincha, Maradona, Messi, Makalele, Kante, Greizmann, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, the list goes on!

Dumbest idea in the world that a top manager cares about f-ing songs
@@jamesbaurus5928while I agree, the fans is a big reason why coaches choose to play at certain teams. Klopp took a pathetic Liverpool and made them a good team again.

Yes they absolutely should’ve have him as the official announce within in the next 3-4 weeks max!
Why the f would Klopp do that? American broadcasters live in another reality, it's like a third division club from Argentina trying to hire him, same level of football too. He would never do that to his career.
Exactly. For what? So that these mediocre players who get red cards every once in a while while throwing a tantrum don’t do well and serve up mediocrity and then he gets blamed? 😂😂. Gio Reyna is either injured or on the bench for the last year and a half and does nothing in this tournament: must be Berhalter’s fault 😂😂

As an half American Klopp is way too good to coach USMNT
We got Tim Weah he can knockout any player from Turkey 1 v1
We deserve a great coach and maybe Klopp is the lynchpin for soccer to finally be taken seriously here. If Messi and Klopp are in America, there is absolutely no reason the sports doesn’t become one of the most sought after

Thank you Seb for pressuring those in the fed that have power to make a change
The USSF CBA is, in FACT, holding the USMNT back!
Yes they tried to suppress Keller speaking the truth. In USWNT case where they lost because they claimed they generate more money than the men, since equal pay was implemented the women have earned more money in the last 3 years than the last 15 years because they are now being subsidised by the profits of the men’s game. So the men’s team can no longer afford top coaches and to rehire GB.
It's holding USA back. F*ck that PC moniker.
I believe it’s only for the CBA is for the players only. As far as I know coaches and managers are not included in the agreement.
@@gabrielgonzalez6456 Correct, the contract does not prevent the men's side from paying a ton of money for a coach. It doesn't mean that the women's coach has to be paid the same. But, it does limit the amount of money they might have overall, since revenue from the men's side is subsidizing the women's side of the program as well.
It will be worth it even if only to get out of group play. If USMNT doesn’t get out of the group stage with the expanded format, it will be a total nightmare.
Tell the billionaire MLS owners to chip in 1M per for the coach.
If US Soccer is serious about 2026, they’ve got a lot to change. Copa has been a fiasco. Hiring a real manager is high priority but not their biggest worry. The match at arrowhead was a joke
As a Liverpool person Klopp would consider it, money and lifestyle (he likes the US) and a new challenge, however it is far too early..another year perhaps.
I disagree with your timing. If Klopp would consider the job, I think USSF should get him in place by the end of summer so he can get used to the roster during September and October friendlies going in to Nations League in November.
World Cup is coming very soon.
Many coaches wanted the USMNT job because it is marquee because its the biggest country in the world. And if he does the bare basic he will be praised and doesnt have to worry about being fired or huge backlash or hate. It makes sense Klopp goes to England and underperforms people are saying fire him or hes awful and gets death threats and etc. USMNT job is likely one of the best jobs off that alone. You have no pressure youre in CONCACF its an easy win to least make finals. You might occasionally go to Copa America tbh even with Greg coaching they wouldve advanced if not for Weah red card. So I disagree with people USMNT is a marquee job you get to relax no hate or threats no ones saying fire you. And you have a decent talent pool of players that will potentially be growing.
Somebody tell Keller to shut up. As far as Klopp goes, I wouldn’t mind if the US hired him.
Coaching a national team sounds very attractive for Klopp, BUT I doubt he’d take it.
It would be awesome to get a legend like Jurgen Klopp as the US men's national team coach. I don't see any american coaches taking this team to the next level. Just my opinion.
Klopp is definitely flirting
😂😂😂
where there's a will there's a way
Tell that to my bank account 🤣🤣🤣
We need this guy, he can make a better team, better players. He can elevate they team to The next level both mentally and physically. But it Will need to work a program for at least 4 years. He can not makes miracles in 2 years.
I dream that one day the USSF will hire Carlo Ancelotti as the coach of the national team.
But, you know... The budget, divided...
Does the USSF want to win?
Jurgen Klopp recognizes the potential of the USMNT and smells an opportunity to grow his own brand. Get more corporate sponsorship and the budget will not be the problem; the problem will only be the short-sightedness and limited imagination of the USMNT administration that thought rehiring Berhalter was a great idea.
If you think klopp thinks about growing his brand then you haven't been listening to the man.
Where are you getting that from lol
try to keep up @justanothername5199 .
The German manager has recently signed a three-year deal with SPORTFIVE, a marketing agency in which Jürgen Klopp will look to further his presence worldwide.
actions speak louder than words.
“Grow his brand” 🥴
Nonsense. Klopp would revolutionise American football. He is that good.
Throw equality out the door first then worry about another coach.
Getting Klopp is Dreamland but might as well go for it.
Then after we can go for realistic options such as David Moyes, Herve Rennard, or Pellegrino Matarazzo.
They hired Greg cheaply: one million a year
2 million.
You get what you pay for
who else is tired of Kaseys pragmatism
I mean Keller is not wrong in terms of what rules are in place, but that rule is awful. I disagree with him saying we can’t blow any budget. There are some times you risk at all
Where would the scoring come from?
Klopp would never take a pay cut to coach the USMNT. Idk why this is a story.
There’s ways to solve that. We could easily give him a percentage of the WC earnings.
If this happened he wouldn't take a pay cut, the US is hosting WC has hosted Copa and has hosted ever single recent Concacaf tournament they have the money
there are many ways to work around salary
Cope harder Madrid fan boy
Women’s charter wants equity not equality.
I wouldn't be surprised, Klopp is a great businessman in cooperations with german brands, behold if he taps into the US market
If USSF doesn’t get rid of Greg the men’s team is gonna be a joke.
Not a chance on Earth a top quality coach from Europe would ever want to come to the US for the current standards of soccer in the U.S. you're dreaming about how attractive that could ever be when he plays and coaches amongst the best there is around. Besides, you guys are so loud and full of yourselves, he couldn't stand the bravado.
Still good ones around worth a try.
Kasey really turning into the old man “get off my lawn” he doesn’t seem to want to be open to any idea that breaks away from the old standard. Hate to break it to you buddy, it’s 2024, your team doesn’t need to be top 10 in the world to be “marquee” IF you have someone like Jurgen on your touch line. His name alone will draw more eyes. Don’t need to be great to get views anymore
IF Klopp wanted to manage USMNT getting sponsors $$$$would be a non-issue. He would be a rock star day 1. Keller tap dancing around the pay question is hilarious. Trying to say the $$$ isn’t there due to equal pay on the women’s side. Anything is possible with creative forward thinking leadership.
They should offer Klopp a blank check.
Seriously.
Keller is right about the pay. It doesn't matter what contract you think you signed because the women can come back in 5 years or 10 years and sue for discrimination. They already did that once.
They sued and got laughed put of court cause their lawsuit had zero basis in reality. Market rules dictate salary, Not DEI BS.
The only reason the men capitulated is they have massive pro contracts to back up their income. It wasn’t a big deal for them even though the men far exceed the women in revenue generated.
That woman knows nothing about men’s soccer.
she said she played in germany
She knows more about soccer than you. 😂
If Klopp comes to the US, the 2026 WC is ours!!!
Just have Biden write a check. He throws money to other countries 😂
Ah the continued delusional arrogance of American sports media to think klopp would even consider taking this job 😂😂😂
money talks
They expect us to rah rah the good ol’ USMNT team onto our guaranteed R16 elimination game as a host nation. nah you jaded old fools, the American public isn’t stupid when it comes to this sport anymore. They see the best soccer on a regular basis, they know their NT doesn’t play that brand of soccer, and until we see that brand of soccer. No one is going to care. I haven’t cared since Greg was first hired the first time, and I expect nothing until we have a quality coach that will keep these divas in check
USSF will never relinquish the control that JK would want.
Jobs too big for him, upcoming World Cup host, golden generation we need a top level manager that can handle that pressure
Golden what??
@samezaber2618 showers obviously
You got to be joking
Greetings from Australia
Gender parity should not force permanently "pegging" the USWNT manager salary to the USMNT manager salary, against supply demand market forces. Gender parity should imply that a female or a male of equivalent quality would get the same salary if hired to manage the USMNT -- i.e. same position, same qualifications, same salary regardless of gender (gender blind).
The answer is yes! Give him everything to come! 💰
"you cant spend money with the hopes you make it somewhere else"
But you can, you make investments with the hope you make it back - in this case there are tangible numbers a national team gets by going further in tournaments. C'mon.
Kasey is desperate to have his buddy Berhaltrt keep his job. He comes up with all kinds of BS reasons not to hire someone like Klopp.
Definetely. You are insanely lucky if you get him. He can make a big difference in the two years leading to the world cup.
Keller sounds like he’s looking for a job at ussf , say all the wrong things and against the fans he’s a shoe in the company
Of course! I would dream about this
Klopp seems to be a man of character and values and as a "soccering"nation we have none of those. We are more concerned with making money in our youth programs than truly building a culture. Klopp's tweet is not a hint that he would be interested in coaching in America.
Klopp would make huge in endorsements in the states and the owner of Atlanta united gave the USSF 50 million of his own money to them im sure others would pitch in for Klopp like Canada did for marsh
It’s simple of Klopp is willing to come do what you have to do to make it happen
So was the final word that we should pay him a ton of money because the US doesn’t care enough about soccer to keep him accountable after yelling, “we need to hold the US coach accountable” for years now?
I like Seb being prickly. It keeps people honest.
Bro is just sending tweet. He’s literally retiring on the top of the game. Not saying he won’t be back at some point, but if he does why would it be this year, and why would he bother with the USMNT? He could have almost any job in the world. Greg B probably couldn’t land a top job in any of the top three leagues in Europe.
You have a more realsitic view on the situation then these pundits. Really, Klopp has no reason whatsoever to coach the USMNT.
And when it comes to the top 5 leagues, Berhalter is the type of manager who suddenly finds himself on the bench of a mid/low tier club wich is fighting not to be relegated and for lack of money and a vision hire just some guy. The type of jobs that usually last 4-8 monts and always end in failiure.
I heard a rumor that Luka is joining Alba Berlin next season.
He likes Europe
hiring Klopp would bring MILLIONS of viewer /supporters
I think he was just being polite with it being July 4th
As an LFC fan first and foremost, I love this idea. But given the price tag, I don’t think this will happen.
