When I mentioned that Berhalter didn't call in enough people in a different thread, this was my point. I should have phrased it as Berhalter never gave enough people an honest chance to succeed with his spastic approach to trying out new players.

He called in all these people, yet he never built a framework to determine whether he could trust them in the WC and as a result he had a squad of 22 where he didn't trust the bottom 10 to see the field. He enforced such tactical rigidity that a lot of players didn't perform up to their club level... imagine if he actually adjusted his tactics to their skill sets instead of plugging them into the same exact tactical framework as the first 11 played even though their strengths/weaknesses are completely different.

One reason we were so successful in Japorea was that Arena built a squad of 23 where he was willing to play any of those 23 in any match. Are we saying that we could build a squad of 23 in 2002 but 20 years later we couldn't do the same?
