Copa América

Former U.S. men’s national team player and current LAFC manager, Steve Cherundolo, is a favorite from the U.S. Soccer Federation to become the USMNT’s new head coach. That’s if Gregg Berhalter is let go, of course.

Following the USMNT’s lackluster participation and ‘early’ exit from the 2024 Copa América, USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter has been under hot waters — with fans, pundits and personalities across the United States asking for the manager’s sacking.

Jesse Marsch and The Maples have done it.

Canada booked their spot in the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 semifinals after defeating Venezuela through a penalty shoot out in an intense match held at AT&T Stadium on Friday.

The Maples hit first in just the 13th minute of the game when Cyle Larin dribbled the ball all the way into the goal line, setting up Nashville SC’s Jacob Shaffelburg to put Canada ahead. American manager Jesse March was buzzing.

CANADA TAKES THE LEAD

One of the big talking points following the United States men’s national team’s 1-0 loss to Uruguay was the Gregg Berhalter 1-1 gesture to his players shortly before conceding.

Prior to Uruguay’s goal the USMNT had been given a lifeline from the other Group C game as Bolivia scored against Panama to make the score 1-1. If that game were to remain a draw and the USMNT tied Uruguay, the U.S. would advance to the knockout stage.

The Christian Pulisic referee handshake moment after the United States’ 1-0 defeat to Uruguay on Monday was a controversial topic of discussion.

Peruvian referee Kevin Ortega had a horrendous night of officiating for the pivotal Copa América game with a highlight reel of fails. Ortega and Pulisic often bumped heads during the fixture with the American star not impressed with Ortega’s officiating.

In the final minutes of the game Pulisic took a shot near Uruguay’s box and took a hit from behind. Pulisic furiously yelled at Ortega about no foul being called.

June 29 (Reuters) - Canada played out a dour goalless Copa America draw with 10-man Chile to claim second place in Group A and progress to the quarter-finals, while the Chileans finished third to exit in the group stage for the first time since 2004.

The draw moved Canada up to four points in Group A, five behind leaders Argentina, who had already qualified for the quarter-finals. Two-times champions Chile ended with two points and Peru finished bottom with one.

The U.S men’s national team could have a better chance of beating Uruguay on Monday than most people believe… at least that’s what sports books say.

The USMNT will go into the last match day of the 2024 Copa América looking to get a huge win against none other than Uruguay — one of the tournament’s top contenders and best in-form national teams so far in the group stage.

The U.S. soccer federation condemned the online racist abuse of their players on Thursday after their 2-1 defeat by Panama at the Copa America.

"There is absolutely no place in the game for such hateful and discriminatory behaviour," U.S. Soccer said in a statement.

"These actions are not only unacceptable but also contrary to the values of respect and inclusivity that we uphold as an organization."

United States men’s national head coach Gregg Berhalter was asked whether his job is on the line against Uruguay on Monday following the shocking 2-1 defeat to Panama. Berhalter somewhat avoided the question saying it’s not up to him.

If the USMNT fail to get out of the Copa America group stage, on home soil, is Gregg Berhalter's job at risk?

"That's not for me to determine," says the manager himself.

The U.S. men’s national team is in need of that signature win under Gregg Berhalter.

Thursday’s 2-1 loss against Panama in the second match day of the 2024 Copa América has put the USMNT into hot waters, leaving the national team’s hopes of qualifying to the next round in the dark.

The Tim Weah red card vs Panama in the 18th minute proved too much for Gregg Berhalter’s U.S. side in a stunning 2-1 upset that throws the USMNT’s Copa América campaign in jeopardy.

This loss is 100% on Weah’s shoulders.

In the 18th minute the Juventus player idiotically swung on Panama’s Roderick Miller off the ball. A VAR review saw Weah sent to the locker room and screw over his entire team.
