00:00Disappointment once again on the international stage for the United

00:07States men's national team last night it wasn't too international in Kansas

00:12City inside Arrowhead Stadium in a game the US had to win to advance out of

00:19group play into the knockout round at Copa America they don't win they don't

00:25even draw they lose 1-0 to Uruguay Panama beat Bolivia big 3 to 1 so they

00:31would have had to win by at least a goal but still Team USA unable to do that

00:39disappointment time and again it's the Twilight Zone DRS we are in purgatory we

00:45are in limbo this is the golden generation one of the priorities of the

00:50United States Soccer Federation was to have everybody on the men's national

00:54team play over in the highest leagues in Europe everybody does and we still

01:00can't get out of the group play in a tournament here in the States what is

01:05going to happen in the World Cup in less than two years I'm not even a soccer fan

01:09and I'm pissed on this Tuesday morning absolutely should be at that point also

01:14when it comes down to like Uruguay already had moved on into the next round

01:19so we see this all the time in professional sports let me get this

01:22straight this team is gonna fight kick and scream to get by here and the other

01:26team is like just don't get hurt just don't get yellow cards just don't get

01:29kicked out of the game who cares what happens and Uruguay dominated the United

01:33States yesterday in a one-to-nothing effort that's what I don't understand

01:36that yes like I talked about this many times we should be much better as a

01:40soccer nation how much longer do we have to wait for at least a few good players

01:43to come along or a coach that actually looks like he knows what he's doing

01:47what's the way like sometimes when you watch like high-level basketball right

01:50it's like man that coach really knows what he's doing or when they call a

01:53timeout out of the break they're really well prepared how come every single time

01:56that we're taking a look at US soccer and even yesterday having some guests on

02:00we're saying to ourselves you know what we're gonna do a whole national search

02:04on a coach that we think stinks but we're gonna come back with the same

02:06coach that stinks who's the best person for the job wouldn't it be nice just to

02:10hire a coach like you know what they finally solved that issue moving forward

02:14the US is in good hands but every time we line up it's like boy what is this

02:18matching up here what is this pairing what is this offensive force we have it

02:21just never ends up in just once can we find a superstar player that can carry

02:26us I'm not asking for Messi I'm not asking for Ronaldo just give me

02:30somebody you can lean on in big moments here we just don't have that and it's

02:34been that way for 30 years now we're supposed to though Christian

02:38Pulisic is supposed to be that guy he's yelling at the refs so the ref won't

02:42even shake his hand Flo Baligan supposed to be that guy

02:46no Ricardo Pepe is supposed to be that guy nope nobody is that guy Gio Reyna

02:51yeah right so so much goes into the Greg Berhalter thing obviously the US Soccer

02:57Federation said last night they will do a deep dive into this National

03:02Federation ahead of the World Cup in less than two years that will be hosted

03:06here in North America and Mexico they also did an internal investigation into

03:11Greg Berhalter after they got bounced from the World Cup two winters ago where

03:17a lot of dirty laundry was uncovered led by Claudio Reyna who played on the US

03:22men's national team Gio's father who was one of Greg Berhalter's best friend his

03:27contract expired into this investigation no wrongdoing was found they do an

03:32internal I guess like they had a evaluation period with some outside

03:38investigative firm to determine who is the best person to lead the US men's

03:42national team into the future and they circled back on Berhalter
