Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4471910, member: 405"] All things considered, Berhalter did what he was supposed to do. 1. He created an entire new team out of relative youngsters. 2. They played just as well as the last generation of players who were replaced. 3. They qualified for the World Cup 4. They got out of the Group Stage 5. They got good respect from the world press, especially for the midfield, which is young and dynamic, and could be among the very best in 2026. 6. They play a pressing, progressive game in the modern style. Not much "bunker and counter" from the US. We are good enough to possess the ball for long periods, dangerously, against great teams like England and the Netherlands. This team is heading the right direction. We need more depth at fullback and at the 9. We need to bring in more quality depth for the defense and midfield. Our wingers are terrific. [/QUOTE]
