He's not wrong. The goal of the youth soccer system should be to identify kids with soccer talent, keep them interested in the sport, and help them improve. Not rake in boatloads of cash and enrich the "coaches," which seems to be the primary goal right now.
And every one of Lloyd's words there. IIRC Purp mentioned it a few pages back: the players were far to comfortable with Berhalter.
Yes, the ref was
beyond terrible (flashing a yellow then allowing Uruguay to continue a break?
Refusing to shake hands with one of the sides' captains after the match? The refs at my daughter's U12 matches are more professional and competent.) Yes, the Uruguay goal was probably offsides. In no way should the USSF allow those to temper the reality of the situation: Berhalter has to go, and the entire MNT (players, backroom, the Fed itself) needs a hard look and revamp ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
I have no faith, whatsoever, that any of that will actually happen.
Sigh.
