The United States Men’s National Team are getting ready to begin Copa America, and we preview the group stage of the tournament on Episode 136.
The USMNT enter this tournament as the hosts and wanting to be successful in this tournament. But, what does success look like? We first start with the play on the field and the players, and we discuss what they need to do in order to get out of the group and challenge for the title. It involves limiting mistakes, playing with a sense of urgency, and capitalizing on the chances you create to score goals.
On the other side, we look at what success means for head coach Gregg Berhalter and the coaching staff. What kind of success is possible? When is it realistic to have a conversation about the direction of the program? What does the coaching staff have to do to prepare this team for not just Copa América, but beyond? We get into that quickly as the start of the tournament is here and the USMNT’s chance on the field approaches.
