U.S. Soccer to Conduct Thorough Examination after Copa America Disappointment Following the United States Men’s National Team’s disappointing elimination from the Copa America, U.S. Soccer has announced plans for a comprehensive review of the program. In a statement released on Monday, U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone expressed her gratitude to the players, coaching staff, and supporters but acknowledged the need for a deep evaluation of the team’s performance. “We are committed to understanding what went wrong and making the necessary changes to ensure that we are competitive at the highest level in the future,” Cone said. The review will be led by U.S. Soccer’s Technical Director Earnie Stewart and will include input from players, coaches, staff, and external experts. The focus will be on identifying areas for improvement in all aspects of the program, including player development, team management, and tactical strategies. U.S. Soccer has appointed a task force of independent advisors to assist Stewart in the review. The task force includes former national team players, coaches, and executives. The review is expected to take several months, with a final report and recommendations being presented to U.S. Soccer’s board of directors by the end of the year. U.S. Soccer hopes that the review will provide valuable insights and lead to tangible improvements in the performance of the national team. The organization is determined to rebuild and restore the United States as a contender on the international soccer stage. The Copa America elimination comes as a setback for U.S. Soccer, which has ambitious goals of hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup and winning the tournament for the first time. The review process is seen as an essential step towards achieving those objectives.U.S. Soccer Federation to Review Copa America Performance After ‘Disappointing’ ResultU.S. Soccer Federation to Review Copa America Performance After ‘Disappointing’ Result Following the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) team’s disappointing performance in the Copa America tournament, a thorough review will be conducted to assess the team’s performance and identify areas for improvement. Despite winning their opening match against Bolivia, the U.S. team succumbed to losses against Panama and Uruguay, failing to advance beyond the group stage. Coach Gregg Berhalter’s position has come under scrutiny, with the USSF stating that their performance “did not live up to expectations.” The review will examine the team’s performance, analyze weaknesses, and provide recommendations to enhance future results, particularly in light of the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Berhalter expressed disappointment with the team’s performance, acknowledging that they “are capable of more.” He indicated that he believes in his ability to lead the team moving forward, but his contract expires at the end of the year. Recent controversies surrounding Berhalter’s handling of player behavior and a past incident involving a physical altercation with his wife have also drawn attention. These issues will likely be considered as part of the review. Captain Christian Pulisic lamented the team’s inability to find a solution to score against Uruguay, while goalkeeper Matt Turner expressed support for Berhalter’s leadership. Despite the setbacks, defender Chris Richards emphasized the importance of learning from every game, and midfielder Weston McKennie expressed openness to continuing under Berhalter’s guidance. The U.S. team is scheduled to return to action in September for a pair of friendlies against Canada and New Zealand.U.S. Soccer to Conduct ‘Comprehensive Review’ After Copa America Elimination Following the U.S. men’s soccer team’s elimination from the Copa America tournament, U.S. Soccer has announced that it will conduct a “comprehensive review” of the program.
