Oh man, I hope this means Gregg Berhalter gets fired…

For a while now, all we've heard about the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) has been that they're producing a “golden generation” that will be at their peak by the time the US hosts the World Cup in 2026.

“Our performance in the tournament fell short of expectations and we must work harder,” Crocker said in a statement. “We will now take a comprehensive look at our performance in the Copa America and how we can improve our team and results as we look ahead to the 2026 World Cup.”

Statement from USSF SD Matt Crocker:
“Our performance in the tournament fell short of expectations and we must do better. We will take a comprehensive look at our performance in the Copa America and how we can improve our team and results in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup.”
