'Not at this level' - USMNT warned they must ditch head coach Gregg Berhalter before they host the 2026 World Cup

The USMNT <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usmnt-jamaica-player-ratings-haji-wright-gio-reyna-save-usmnt-concacaf-nations-league/bltd6cad74b9dd274c3" target="_blank">secured a 3-1 win against Jamaica</a> in a tense match after a late deflected header from Miles Robinson forced extra time. While the victory ensured a spot in the final of the continental competition, the performance left much to be desired, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-antonee-robinson-honest-assessment-christian-pulisic-concacaf-nations-league-semifinal-jamaica/blt41357247d300b7f2#cs23fb50e295e4d4f8" target="_blank">with the team struggling against a Jamaica side</a> who were missing key players.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Gomez expressed doubts about Berhalter's capabilities as the head coach and urged the US FA to do away with him as quickly as possible before the 2026 World Cup.“Gregg Berhalter was two seconds, was a play away from everybody calling for his head. From everybody saying this isn’t the man to lead this team," he said while hosting Futbol Americas."And I don’t think I feel too much differently today after this game as I did before it. Gregg Berhalter may be a good coach at a certain level. He’s not the coach for the US Men’s National team at this level, not the coach to lead the US Men’s National team to the World Cup in 2026.”<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/USMNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#USMNT</a> may beat Mexico (or not) this weekend for its 3rd CNL title. But it won’t change what I’ve seen and how I feel about Gregg Berhalter being the USMNT coach. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/USMNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#USMNT</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FutbolAmericas?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FutbolAmericas</a> <a href="https://t.co/feEBQw3VsU">pic.twitter.com/feEBQw3VsU</a>— herculez gomez (@herculezg) <a href="https://twitter.com/herculezg/status/1771302053832454620?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT GOMEZ SAID

Echoing Gomez's sentiments, USMNT legend Alexi Lalas also criticised Berhalter's performance, particularly highlighting the team's lack of urgency, ruthlessness, and energy during the match against Jamaica."You can do whatever you want. But I can say it was a horrible performance and, as a coach, Berhalter deserves criticism for his team’s utter lack of urgency, ruthlessness, or energy," he wrote on X.However, Lalas did acknowledge Berhalter's tactical adjustments and impactful substitutions, such as introducing Gio Reyna and Haji Wright, which ultimately contributed to the team's victory."But he also made the necessary changes in players/tactics to find the win in a knock-out setting."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">You can do whatever you want.
