USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter on Pulisic, McKennie, World Cup soccer | The Colin Cowherd Podcast

Thank you for all the USMNT content. I’m all over this!

Great interview Colin, and hope you keep shining a light on another Futbol I love as well as football.

This is why Uncle Colin is one of the best. He knows there’s content with USMNT especially during World Cup so why not bring in GGG. Kudos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Need more USMNT content!

As a Brit I'm really impressed by Colin's soccer knowledge, which is unusual for a mainstream American sports broadcaster. Isn't Colin's parents British? Which might explain why he has so much knowledge and understanding of soccer.

Really good questions from Colin here, going far more in depth than you often see. Soccer / Football focused media needs to catch up...Colin barely touches this sport but has done a far far better interview here without having the deeper knowledge of the game compared to others giving interviews.

Thanks for covering usmnt for us Colin! great access to Gregg. Didnt really know who he was before! awesome starting to get to know him.

I am quite impressed with how far Colin has come in his knowledge of the beautiful game. What a productive and fascinating interview. My respect for both of these guys has skyrocketed

Thank you for bringing the USMNT into the mainstream Colin, hope to see more.

Gregg isn’t joking about Mckennie’s athleticism I could easily see Mckennie playing Safety at a D1 program

Best interview of Greg by an American journalist I've seen and you didn't start out your question by saying "Thanks for doing this, Greg!"

Thanks Colin for shedding some light on US Soccer. Nobody else covers this stuff!

Yes! Love the soccer content. I’m not expecting coverage all the time but once in awhile is good. Go USA!

For a “non-soccer” guy, that was one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time. As much international soccer, as I’ve watched, I’ve rarely seen an interview of that quality.

This is a great interview. Great content. Goalaso!!!

Finally a good Gregg Berhalter interview without any lowball questions

Thank you for bringing the USMNT into the mainstream thank you, Colin, hope to see more hard questions were hard. Great interview!

thank you Mr. Cowherd! footy need this exposure in the mainstream!!

What Berhalter talked about here in response to Colin's "secret sauce" question, I believe, is likely a result of the team being so young and I'm not sure it would be like that - with the players being so close to one another and sharing that tight bond - if it was a more stratified team in terms of age. So while you have the general inexperience of that same age group, you have a lot of guys at similar places in their career, most with the majority of their career still ahead of them as opposed to long behind them...they all have that drive that sometimes can only come out of ignorance or inexperience, if that makes sense. You can feel something special when you watch this team in the way that they play for each other compared to most of the past USMNT teams

This is an excellent interview

These are the best interviews this channel deserves more subs

Really enjoyed this interview, learned a lot.

Love that Colin is also a former LAFC ticketholder who loved watching Zimmerman at the Banc. This is the best

Weah, Pepi, & Pulisic up top, Reyna, McKinney, Musah, & Adams in mid, Dest, Robinson's & Zimmerman. Plenty of potential

thank you for the USMNT content!!

No one will ever ask Gregg a tough question or ask any hard hitting questions. I was hoping you would Colin

If we can have a decent showing at the WC & build some confidence and chemistry then in 2026 we should be a legitimate contender to win it ALL! Actually possible for 1st time in 80 years

Hi Colin. In the next interview, please ask about the center forward position. Unfortunately it’s our weakest. Also, please ask if coach believes in a playmaking “quarterback” who should have the ball the most and be making most of the decisions.
Thank you for the great interview

Outstanding interview

4-3-1-2 Diamond: Robinson & Dest. Zimmerman & M. Robinson. Adams, Mckennie & Musah. Gio @ the 10. Pulisic & Weah. We need our best players on the pitch! With more chemistry & cohesion with this 11 we’ll be dangerous come the World Cup. LDT & Aaronson first subs. 1 win on the road.(won’t have home games during WC vs more dangerous teams) We need new ideas

Cowherd's soccer coverage is exceptiona;l Can't wait until the World Cup rolls around on Christmas Day.

I'm not American, but I remember the US team was brilliant in 2002, and they were positively robbed by Germany. If my memory serves me right, a German player stopped the ball on the goal line with the hand and the referee didn't see it. This team deserved to get to the semi-finals, and then who knows what could have happened?
I haven't seen the current US team play but it seems to me that there is great potential there, and it's definitely possible to beat England.

Great questions Colin is a beast.

He has a core that will clearly be in Qatar and that starting line up. Kelley Acosta, Brenden Aaronson, Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Yunus Musah, Walker Zimmerman, Jordan Morris, and DeAndre Yedlin. Guys like Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Ricardo Pepi and Jesus Ferreira are bubble players, Tyler Adams is his safety net for defensive mid or back line. Nov 14 is the final day for coaches to submit their list since they need to travel. I feel all the guys I mentioned will be on the list. John Brooks will be left out, Cristian Roldan and Miles Robinson have a bigger chance.

Great questions Colin ! I still have a lot of doubts on Berhalter however will support you to Qatar anyways ... Go USA!

Guys, you don`t need the respect of the arrogant english (yellow) press. "They" have won one world cup. Almost a century ago..at least, thats what its feels like. As a German, i always have a smirk on my face everytime we play them and i see the headlines..

The only thing that has changed from 2018 is the players got better. The coaching has got worse and the better players bailed out Gregg Berhalter so many times. My kids have dual nationality and play for Under 15 team in Laos and they watch the USA games with me and say “they only play one way dad!” If a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old can recognize that, don’t you think the teams in our group are going to be able to outplay Gregg?

As a British citizen living in New the United States. The future of the sport here is quite scary.....watch the MLS over the next decade.

I thought I was the only one saying that. What if Kobe & LeBron was strikers, Shaq, Tim Duncan, & Dwight Howard played goalie.

good stuff Colin

More soccer content!

Hopefully Greg decides to un complícate the positional soccer strategy before the World Cup. European teams will counterattack and exploit a stretched American side if they stick to positional soccer.

Just watch more FUTBOL Colin . Futbol will eventually be the number 1 sport in America mark my words .

man really went from 'a couple good players that play well occasionally' to 'win the world cup' in one step
nah USA are still at least 12 years away from that

Uncle Colin knows ball. Don’t sleep

USAMT LETS GO !

Great q’s

Crazies? This coach is super easy to question. First question I have is, who else was vetted for the job? Anybody? Is that a crazy question?

HOLD ON...we NEED MCKENNIE period...THE WORLD CUP IS IN NOV

Set pieces need to be address. The weakness of the team. Look at those 2 Costarican goals. The usmnt will be punished by those big quality opponents.

Colin: Give me the straigt skinny on Weston McKennie.

Colin thank you for covering USMNT but it would it would have been better to have the real stars on. Gregg Berhalter is not a good representative!

Really enjoyed the interview. But here are some of my thoughts about Gregg Berhalter, and the interview. Even after the World Cup Qualifiers, Berhalter is not a good coach. His roster selection, favoritism, style of play, in-game management, and the ability to adjust are his biggest weaknesses. For NFL fans, at his absolute best (which isn't very often), Berhalter is Mike McCarthy and at his worst, he is Adam Gase. For NBA fans, he is like Luke Walton when he would coach the Golden State Warriors. Luke Walton had an amazing record with the Warriors but failed with the Lakers and Kings. Basically, 9/10 games we win, it's simply because we have more talented players than the other team. Third, the majority of US fans do not mind MLS players on the team. For example, Turner, Zimmerman, Robinson, and Acosta. The problem is that Gregg's favorite players (who all play in the MLS but not the names I listed above) always get called up even though they consistently perform bad, and get minutes over quality players who Gregg never looks at. If anybody has a question, feel free to ask.

Let’s hope the American fans at Qatar improve there chants.come on guys and gals get rehearsing. No more of I believe that we can win shit.

I initially hated the Berhatler hire (and even wrote a 4,000 world article for World Soccer Talk) and still find myself wishing we had somebody else (Berhalter has all of the charisma of a lamppost and his game plans frequently stink) but at the end of the day he's got the highest winning percentage of any US manager ever, has recruited his ass off in terms of getting dual-nationals to play for us, won both trophies in 2021, and qualified us for the World Cup (albeit by the very skin of our teeth). A;; that being said, unless we have a super impressive run in Qatar at the end of the year, I still want Jesse Marsch to be the US manager for the 2026 World Cup cycle (to be hosted here in the US)

Many Clip-Sharers love to hate Berhalter and the MLS

Wester mckinie n gio rena is gona be fun to watch n lacosta from MLS mieldfielder

Give me the skinny on Weston McKennie..lol

this guy used to bash soccer on the regular and now he’s covering it? 😂

Should’ve questioned his love for mediocre mls players that don’t belong on the team

Pulisic isn’t our star, Weston is 100%

You talk about football in a very odd way.

Soccer is a sport for countries where you have to step over Donkey dung to get to your mailbox.

United states mens team is loaded with carrier high allstars

Forget earning their respect. They can shove it lol. They are not the final authority on soccer. They make one Semi-Final and they act like they won it lol. They won't make the Quarterfinals

The coach is a bum and a lot of the players are talented but inconsistent.

8:20 Bahahahahahahaha JOHN BROOKS would like a word please 🧐🧐🧐🧐

Worst coach of USMNT ever because he is horrible at picking line ups, he can’t change the game with tactics or substitutions. Moreover, Gregg Berthalter only plays one way. That is get wide to the wings and put a cross in. The stars of the team bailed out Gregg Berhalter so many times. Furthermore, taking 3rd in CONCACAF is not an improvement from 2018. Cananada has a great coach and kicked our butt ever time. Mexico who we beat or tied placed second because Gregg Berhalter is not that smart having group of players and playing away like like the old group of players! Win at home and try to draw away. Gregg Berhalter will not take us very far and he is an average coach in MLS. We will not make to the quarters or semi finals until we get a great coach from abroad or I would even take Jesse Marcsh!

w

This guy talk about vision and bla bla but everyone need to realize who change these young players mindset was Klinsman encourage them to go to Europe more to learn there trade

The England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 team is always overhyped and overrated.

Inside the run? They finished behind Canada and are gonna be lucky to win 1 World Cup game. Relax .

As a european, it will be hilarious to see americans suddently being experts on football (the real football) until they claim the world cup doesnt matter when they get embarrassed (yet again) by some mid national team like Iran or something.
