Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT lose 2-1 to Trinidad and Tobago away after Sergino Dest was sent off for petulant behavior. The lack of fight and ideas from 10-man USA was stunning and disappointing. Tac and I break it down.
Berhalter hasn’t won away since August 2021 when he beat Honduras 4-2 in World Cup qualifying.

Yes Trinidad and tobago is a Country with a rich football history we show we can complete with the big dogs in Concacaf 2017 exit from the WC every American should knows the country of T&T by now 🤔
Sergino very likely has some mental health issues and needs help, and I don't mean that in the usual sarcastic way. This is ongoing. It's really not a whole lot different than Luis Suarez's biting problem. He got help, and went on to be fine.
But what the rest of the team did after he was sent off is not on him. The players themselves need to take responsibility for falling apart, sure.
But as everyone knows… and says… Grggy is the real problem.
Missing "a few players." Our best 3. Nothing but the same critique from tje usmnt gatekeeper. TAC you should drop this dude
I know the 2 of you have talked before about how every nation has a "style" and "a way they play". The US does have a style and a way we play. We play with a sense of respect and dignity toward the opponent and the officials. I do not remember any time in our recent history (94 and beyond) where a player was given a red card for the blatant arrogance and pride demonstrated toward and official. That is not how a USMNT player should act. Dest may have talent, but We play with Scally, or a lineup that minimizes the impact of Dest missing, for the next several matches or we have lost our "Style" as a country! Shameful!!
We lost to Germany(even with home field advantage) and they have looked really bad of late- losing to Austria and Turkey, tying a weak Mexican side. Their only Win the past two international cycles has been the USA. Makes me have lower hope for the USMNT team at the moment. And that Greg needs to fuckin go. And Ghana, just look at their latest result(lost to Comoros!). Greg and USMNT have not played good competition of late which just hurts us badly
Taking off Reyna instead of Aaronson was the biggest mistake Berhalter made and he cost us the game unfortunately
GGG is sleeping on the job!!!
This comes down to the team being woefully mentally unprepared. Mental errors, lack of imagination and/or creativity. Lack of any desire to do anything more than the minimum. Gregg has no ideas left. The USSF wanted him and they spent months creating cover for themselves to do just that. It is pathetic. This program will not be what it could be as long as USSF is still in charge. I'm done. I still like the players and will follow the players club careers, but I am done with the USSF and their products.
Hey Pete and Tac, I would buy merch
Thoroughly enjoy these pods because You never pull any punches. Keep going and keep having the same critical attitude.
USMNT Fans, Nothing will change until we form a USMNT Fan Association. With this tool we can pressure USSF to find a competent Head Coach! We could even lobby for voting seats to elect the next USSF President! USMNT Fans, IMO, Spain, Brazil, Germany are great soccer powers because the Fans Demand Success!
No need to disrespect Trinidad and Tobago…..Trinidad and Tobago what country is that?
Terrible performance over all. Individually, not a perfect game by no stretch of the imagination, but I thought Musah was the best player on the pitch for the US, mostly for his defensive work. When T& T scored their 2nd goal, there was a real threat that things would unravel. Musah did a great job of disrupting their attack in the middle fo field the last 30 minutes. Turner absolutely sucks, open up the job to competition.
I did tell you there is no way turner starts over vlachodimos. The manager was just waiting for turner to have a bad game to justify benching him permanently. But these comments section told me turner is going to start 😂
Turner 1, Dest 0, Ream 5, Carter-Vickers 5, Robinson 6, De La Torre 4, Musah 7, Balogun 4, Pepi 5, Aaronson 4, Reyna 6, Scally 5, Maloney 5, Tillman 5
Why was that guy so worried about you looking at the discord general chat? What controversies has he said on there?
Might want to take a look at it and see what’s up
Disagree on Tillman. Thought he was energetic and dangerous.
"Disaster Game", Pete? How about disastrous window. Not to mention another window under Gregg with disastrous performances from all involved. The Dest deal is obviously stupid and unacceptable. But the ineptitude of Greggs handling of this team is a complete head shaker. Experiment #1 ended in misery and a quick world Cup out. Experiment #2, fizzling out to a big failure with pathetic performances.
lol, of course dest should have been sent off!…and tbh, i don't see how one could think otherwise.
Berhalter should thank Dest. Now he has an excuse for why the team looked so horrible.
This was an absolute disaster. I don't think there is a single player on their team who would make our roster. Red card or not losing to T&T is unacceptable. We should have been 2 or 3 goals up by that point. As far as taking Gio off I don't think it matters that he was a preplanned halftime sub. They are allowed 5 subs abd GGG only used 2. He needed to do more, he seems incapable of making big choices. He is so afraid of making the wrong choice that he doesn't make any choice at all.
I'd like to say thank you to you both, I'm English but have a few American friends that follow the USMNT, and you guys seem to mostly give the unfiltered truth (unlike Alexi Lalas for example) I'd just like to say thanks for helping me to be able to talk to my US friends about things to do with the USMNT….P.S I agree with you about Southgate, he sucks
Dest is a liability …AC Milan knows it, Barca knows it
Pete mentioned this in the video, but i agree Dest should be made to apologize to the team like they made Gio do.
*Edit -Dest did apologize to the team and on X. 👍
19:05 bruh compared to the USMNT, Switzerland has a world class team. In almost every position the USMNT starter would only be 2nd or even 3rd option. The only positions and players that would start in a usa/switzerland mixup from the USMNT are pulisic and dest because these are the only positions where switzerland doesn’t have a better player.
Gregg needs to go
Send Greggggg and Dest as far away from USMNT as they can get. We have the best roster of talent we've EVER had with the worst possible man to coach them to success.
If Dest is suspended for the semifinal match this will be the second time in a row he was suspended from a final four Nations League match for acting selfishly. Dest should be replaced. He's already a defensive liability, and now he's shown repeatedly that he cannot put the team above his feelings. This is worse than Reyna going half speed at practice because he was disappointed he wasn't going to get to play at WC. They need to find an alternative to Dest.
Dest isnt even quality. The USA only has a few international level players in reality. Aaronson bros epitomize our talent pool. Its low 😂
Honestly, I’m over Turner too. I’m praying Gaga or Kochen become the real thing.
I know felipo talks about the players not having the mentality but it’s up to the manager to be a leader and make the players believe.
We should have just hired Jesse Marsch. At least Leeds was fun to watch.
I would put 60% on Dest and 40% on GGG. For why we lost
Playing a country of 1.5 million ppl with a national budget of less that soccer usa and being beaten is bad enough stop making excuses for dest well deserved red kicking away the ball then mouthing off at the ref is 2 yellows all day
If the team wins the coach will get praised, it the team loses the coach gets shit on. It’s how it is. I blame GGG and Dest for this loss. Mostly Dest though.
This is the 2nd time from Dest. Seeing this if I was an opponent I could see trying to rattle Dest to get him to go off and pick up a red.
How do i join the discord to call in?
How T&T managed to keep US 0-0 until the 80th, 81st minute after being 1 man down seems more impressive now because look how quickly the U.S fell apart, and for how long T&T held themselves together after losing their one man.
We had the game in control until Dest got red. When you are down to 10 it is hard. I don't blame the team too much. I did think it was odd that GGG kept two forwards after the red.
If anything about the USMNT was functional, Dest's stupidity and the poor play of the team would inspire a major change. However, I suspect things will continue as usual. Maybe ggg will get hit by a meteor byt otherwise we're screwed.
I feel like some players just have an attitude like they're too good to be playing in a central American stadium. We've just see these kind of melt downs so often on the road there.
The only hope is that at COPA we sh*t the bed and GGG gets fired.
