Is it bad for the US men’s soccer team? There are many reasons, including a lack of talent, pay-to-play, and ineffective tactics. I'll address each one in turn. Improvements are needed for the US Men's soccer team
McKennie is the best middlefielder in the team
McKennie is a great American men's soccer midfielder. The 23-year-old McKennie is a household face in Europe. He was born and raised near Little Elm in Texas. His elbow has a Dallas Skyline tattoo. His father was an airman, and he spent most his childhood in Texas. He then moved to Germany at the age 17 with FC Schalke 04 He will transfer to Juventus for 2020.
Gregg Berhalter's tactics haven't worked
It is easy to see why Berhalter's tactics aren't working for the USMNT. His attempt to recruit dual-nationals like Yunusmusah hasn't worked. The New York City-born midfielder could have played in England, Spain, Italy or England.
Manufacture shortage
The United States men’s national team soccer team has a problem with its talent pool. In international soccer, there is talk of "golden generations" and teams that rise and fall. However, this doesn't necessarily imply that the United States is devoid of talent. This simply means we must find more talent. It is not always as simple as it seems. It may not be as simple as hiring a superstar, but that is the first step.
Pay-to-play
Some people claim that USMNT's poor performance is due in part to pay-to–play. Although this may be true, it is also a contributing factor to the poor performance in other soccer/football-powerhouse nations. Iceland, for example paid hundreds of coaches to earn UEFA licenses, among other credentials. More qualified coaches mean better quality players.
Insufficient firepower
The USMNT is a team that has been trending upwards for 20+ years. However, it now faces serious problems. The team's recent defeat to Honduras is an unprecedented low. They are now winless in their last 14 matches. The team's poor performance this week has led to many cathartic rants, and calls for a complete overhaul. What can the team do about it?
