Doha, Qatar (AP)December,4- World Cup American His football success remains a dream.
The US team looked better in his Cup of Worlds this year, but the results were the same as he was in 2010 and he was in 2014. The US team was eliminated in Saturday’s Round of 16 after its 3-1 loss to the Netherlands.
“We have shown that we can compete with the top teams, but over the past few years we clearly feel that we don’t have enough respect for American football and the way we play, so we just want to change the narrative. Midfielder Weston McKennie said: “I think we’ve done a little bit of that in this World Cup.”
Expectations were high for a team centred around a young rising star playing in some of Europe’s top leagues.
No North, Central American or Caribbean country has reached the semi-finals since the United States in 1930.
After draws to Wales and England, he secured his place in the round with a 1–0 knockout victory over Iran. Had they rebuilt their hopes for Greg Berhalter’s team, their return from the group stage would have been a disappointment.
Burhalter was recruited from Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew in December 2018 on the recommendation of current U.S. Athletic Director Ernie Stewart. More than 14 months after America’s defeat in Trinidad and Tobago, Burhalter failed to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, ending a streak of seven straight appearances in the tournament. Some fans repeatedly criticized his team’s choices and tactics, with some preferring a foreign coach with more European experience.
Football His contract expires this month, according to his association’s latest financial report. Verhalter led the USA to his 37-11-12 tie.
After losing to Holland, Verhalter was reluctant to say whether he wanted to stay. “Over the next few weeks, I’m going to clear my head, sit down, and think about what I’m going to do next,” he said.
Defender Tim Reem, 35, is the oldest player in the 26-man squad, and he was the second youngest player in the tournament. He stood still when the final whistle blew.
“I’m just thinking about where I am, where I’m from, my journey,” he said. “I have been in this program for 12 years and I make no guarantees. Obviously, many of these players are guaranteed the next World Cup, and for me that’s not going to happen.”
