Brett Gosnell throws on his soccer hat and joins me to discuss what bringing back Gregg Berhalter means for USMNT soccer and their 2026 Men’s World Cup chances in a special mid-week episode!
We look back at Gregg’s tenure with the team up to this point, including the most recent World Cup and the ridiculous scandal with Gio Reyna’s family. Brett explains what’s so unusual about how US Soccer has handled this coaching cycle, and what the coaching search looked like.
We also talk about why there is reason for hope in the future as well as the role Gregg plays in that. We go over Gregg’s coaching strengths and weaknesses, if we’re stuck with him through 2026 no matter what, and what would qualify as a good performance for the USMNT in the next World Cup!
