No shame in losing to a team like Colombia, but to be beaten soundly and in the process to look like you do not belong on the same field is not excusable for a team with the talent that has been developed in the USMNT program.
Hard to find anyone who deserves high marks. Pulisic will be a marked man every time he appears in the shirt until the USMNT develops another scoring threat.
Game showed the value of Dest to this squad and how they lose much of the right side attack in his absence. Scally has improved but remains all defense and no threat going forward.
Showed that old reliable Tim Ream is now more old than reliable even though he remains invaluable when his legs can get him to the ball.
Still searching for the striker who can score consistently. Still searching for a top team that Berhalter can beat. Coach got renewed but the product on the field does not look much better.
Need Tyler Adams on the field—either in the midfield or at right back. Weah has also played right back as has Musah and while that is not the preferred position for any of them they each would present more of a threat than Scally.
Hopefully a better team shows up for Brazil. .
yeah, you lose 1-5 at home in a big TV game -
in the real soccer world, you get fired pretty quick.
How they re-hired him is a joke. How he even got the job originally is a joke. They're going to ruin the 2026 WC if they keep this guy. If they do bad at Copa they need to move on.

Yup. The mids who were supposed to link up with the back 4 didn't distinguish themselves, either.
They lack creativity in the final third offensively
They missed Adams tonight defensively
I thought McKinnie was a no show tonight
Having said all that Columbia is a excellent team.

Sounds like nothing has changed, 5 years and counting. Is Dest not fit?
