I dont want to hear anyone say this World Cup was a success. The team, the most talented in US history, accomplished the bare minimum expectation....get out of the group. We did the same thing in 02 (and did a round better), 10, and 14. 1994 we qualified as a 3rd place team in a 24 team tournament so that doesn't count the same. But the point is, we've had teams that did this.
The team is young, yea yea yea, but lets be realistic. We were 2nd to Canada in qualifying, qualified on the last day despite this being the worst Mexico and CONCACAF has been in quite awhile, scored 3 goals in 4 World Cup games, and only won 1.
Bethalter gets a C for this cycle. That's not good enough. We are hosting in 2026 when all these guys will be in their prime. The USSF has to go out and PAY for the best coach available. They can afford to pay for anyone. Jose Mourinho, Roberto Martinez (though his star his tarnished), Joachim Low, etc.
The job is attractive. People like living in the US. The team is good. We can be really good in 2026. High level Euro managers would be very interested. And we have to find a coach who is able to generate goals without a true #9 because we arent going to have one in 2026. Reyna, Weah, and Aaronson have to be on the field together. We need a coach who can figure out how to do this.
