It’s an emergency pod as the US men’s national team has crashed out of the Copa America in embarrassing fashion. Do we care about the fate of Gregg Berhalter? Not really, but we lay down our takes on the matter anyway. Other topics include whether this ‘golden generation’ is overrated and who our dream candidates would be to take over on the sidelines.

After our USMNT punditry, there was also another coach firing in MLS, LA Galaxy star Riqui Puig took some screenshots of the preseason predictions and Obed Vargas is reportedly drawing interest from Liga MX clubs.
