US Soccer Federation's response to Copa América exit doesn't bode well for coach Gregg Berhalter

The "Copa Tonight" crew reacts to the United States' loss to Uruguay in the 2024 Copa América and what this means for the USMNT moving forward.

The United States’ departure from Copa América after losing to Uruguay on Monday night sparked questions about the future of the men’s national soccer team. 

Those arguments mostly swirled around whether head coach Gregg Berhalter should return ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the U.S. alongside Canada and Mexico. 

The U.S. Soccer Federation’s response to the 1-0 loss at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City fans the flames of those questions even more, as they are clearly not happy getting knocked out before the group stages ended.

"Our tournament performance fell short of our expectations," U.S. Soccer Federation sporting director Matt Crocker said in a statement. "We must do better. We will be conducting a comprehensive review of our performance in Copa America and how best to improve the team and results as we look towards the 2026 World Cup."

No player or coach wants to see their organization talk about a "comprehensive review," as it means everything will be analyzed with a fine-tooth comb. And some believe Berhalter was already on the hot seat before Copa América play began.
