Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 3211223, member: 343"] It doesn't help when the writer just states stuff that is blatantly wrong. Even though as you say, I agree with him that GB probably needs to move on, but won't. [I]And of course he brought his boy Gyasi Zardes who might be able to score with his face but can’t hit the back of the net from inside the six yard box if his life depended on it.[/I] Zardes did have a tap in, inside the 6, and had a nice curling shot from the 18. Not sure if his life depended on it, but he did actually do it. (Not that I want him on the team.) [I](thanks to Jozy Altidore finally scoring a goal that mattered).[/I] I've seen people say this or stuff like this for quite awhile. I know we want someone better, and maybe Sargent will be, but Altidore has scored 19 goals in WCQ matches (those matter), 5 goals in Gold Cup matches (sorta matter) and has scored against some decent competition (though yea, some were friendlies) - Mexico, Spain, Turkey, Poland, Germany, Colombia, Peru, Chile. [I]Prior to taking the US job, Berhalter had proven himself a [B]loser [/B]at two different clubs. In the Swedish second division with Hammarby, he posted a record of 18-11-17 (W-L-D) for a 57% win percentage and won zero trophies. Once he came to MLS, it got worse. In five seasons with the Columbus Crew his record was 75-71-47 for a win percentage of just 51%.[/I] Not really a loser if he had a winning record. Now that doesn't qualify him for the USMNT job. As a NT manager, one should have won some trophies along the way before getting a shot at the NT. I think we could have done much better. And to wait a whole year just to come up with GB??? Ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
