United States men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter has been facing hefty backlash after he described his team’s 2-0 loss to Canada as “dominant.” The drama has reached such a high echelon that soccer fans have now been gifted with a Stephen A. Smith USMNT rant.
On a call with the equally polarizing Taylor Twellman, Stephen A. gave one of his classic rants about the man in charge of the USMNT.
The USMNT was humbled by a superior Canada 2-0 on Sunday in World Cup qualifying. The best American male player, Christian Pulisic, was largely ineffective during the massive showdown between the top two teams in Concacaf right now. The Chelsea winger attempted four dribbles, failing to complete a single one.
Maybe Pulisic should’ve taken some notes from Sprout the camel.
Hoping to build off Thursday's win over El Salvador with another three points in Canada on Sunday to all but book a ticket to the 2022 World Cup, the USMNT came undone in Ontario during a 2-0 defeat in which Gregg Berhalter's attackers were frozen to the artificial turf at Tim Hortons Field.
Tim Weah started and played 73 minutes in the USMNT’s victory over El Salvador in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday. Now he’s been denied entry into Canada for the USMNT’s World Cup qualifier with the Canucks on Sunday, leading many to ask: Is Tim Weah vaccinated against Covid-19?
Potential new players can be scouted from all over the country at various events.
Some of these events can include semi pro & pro leagues, youth club & league matches, olympic development programs, and USSF & youth national team events.
The scouted players are then evaluated by USMNT technical staff during events such as training camps, friendlies and official matches.
Once chosen, players are notified at least 15 days in advance of a camp or match. The final roster is then selected 1 week before the match.
The USMNT is one step closer to the 2022 World Cup after a tight 1-0 victory against El Salvador that also featured an amazing Antonee Robinson celebration. The result was nothing to gloat about for American fans.
The USMNT has never faced such a daunting trip north of the border. For the first time since 1997, the U.S. men’s national team travels to face Canada in a World Cup qualifier. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch USMNT vs Canada World Cup qualifier on Sunday, Jan. 30.
The U.S. and Canada sit atop the Concacaf qualifying table through nine matches, with five games to go. Both are getting close to qualifying but can’t afford to slip up now, especially with Costa Rica potentially surging up the table.
Prior to the USMNT's World Cup qualifier against El Salvador on Thursday night, left back Antonee Robinson was asked to discuss his recent attacking form for Championship-leading Fulham, which has just rattled off four straight wins while scoring an incredible 22 goals.
During that run, Robinson's hit one from 20 yards out and provided two assists while going the full 90 in every match.
For United States men’s national team fans asking the question "is John Brooks playing for the USA?” the answer is no at the moment, and it could be that way for the future.
The 28-year-old was left off head coach Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT roster for a second straight World Cup qualifying window and won't play in games against El Salvador, Canada and Honduras. Brooks is experiencing a rough patch in his career, hasn’t found recent success with the national team and could be looking at a summer transfer after issues with Wolfsburg.
