Nothing new has been rumored but Tactical Manager has some inside information and much like the most of us he can connect the dots. One thing is apparent, when the new manager comes in he has to disband the leadership coalition

New rumors have sprung up about who is available for the USMNT to hire as their new manager, some more realistic than others. BREAKING AFTER THE POD: Gareth Southgate has stepped down as manager of England... looks more and more likley.

Copa America was a logistics nightmare and it's become a matter of all parties pointing at who's to blame. All the while, fans of this sport and of those national teams were left screwed over as thousands and thousands of patrons without tickets stormed the barricade. Some fans who paid thousands of dollars were completely screwed over as they were refused entry due to the number already attending the match.

Gregg Berhalter has been removed as the manager of the USMNT. Matt Crocker is set to hire a new manager by the September window and he has a laundry list of candidates. Mainstream Media are pushing Cherundolo as the lead candidate.

Gregg Berhalter has failed to exit the group stage in 2024 Copa America. This is an unexpected and unacceptable result that has fans and mainstream media finally agreeing on a topic... Gregg Berhalter should be fired!

Who takes over after Gregg? Well, that's an interesting topic.

Sullivan bags a hat trick and the US top the group in qualifying. On the 25th, they will face Nicaragua in the Round 16. Despite the score, the actual performance left some wanting. One thing is for certain, we are starting to get an idea who our top 11 are.

Derek and Brett talk about how the team performed. Who had a good game? Bad game? Or just "Meh"?

When is a draw considered a loss by the fans? Well the US U20s experienced such a result against Canada. Despite pulling a late goal to tie the match, the US U20s controlled most of the game. They only gave Canada two chances and Canada capitalized on each

Derek and Brett will discuss the match, who performed well, who needs to be benched, and briefly highlight the upcoming match against Cuba.

Derek and Brett go over the absolute thrashing win over St. Kitts, the good, the bad, the meh. Typically the US plays to the level of the opposition and given a team we should destroy tends to be a grind low scoring event. Fortunately the U20s showed up and handled business to set themselves up for a potential top finish in the group.

The Seattle Sounders are set to be the first MLS side to win the CONCACAF Champions League. After a come from behind 2-2 draw with Pumas, the second leg is to take place in Seattle which benefits the Sounders. At this point, a win or draw (assuming the draw doesn't result in Puma scoring 2 or more goals) would clinch the Champions League for the first time for a MLS side.

Derek and Brett discuss the midweek Yanks report as limited as it may be this week. Tyler Adams, Christian Pulisic, and more...

Christian Pulisic is the second most productive player, behind Mason Mount, for Chelsea, but Thomas Tuchel tends to rotate not only him on and off the pitch but where Pulisic plays on the pitch. Is this just how Tuchel is? WIll Pulisic find some level of consistency under Tuchel?

Weston McKennie, according to reports, is being used as trade fodder for Juventus to keep Morata. It wouldn't be the silly season without a rumor of Weston being sold by Juventus would it? Do you find any validity?
