And here’s Joe Callaghan’s match report from today’s game in Hamilton:
Let’s wrap up with words that should make any US fan worry ...
Berhalter: "Entire team effort was outstanding. We asked them to be dominant, we asked them to embrace the conditions, embrace the physicality ... I think we did that and it's hard for me to remember a performance away from home this dominant without getting a result"

If that was a dominant performance, I’d hate to see one that wasn’t dominant.
Did anyone imagine, after seeing the US win the Nations League and Gold Cup, that a US coach would call this performance a good one?
A baffling comment after a weak showing.
Something has gone seriously wrong. And the US doesn’t have years or even months to fix it.
Thanks for following along here, and let’s all welcome our new Canadian overlords. Next up: Olympics!
