It’s finally time for the Gregg Berhalter era of U.S. Soccer to begin. It’s been well over a year since the infamous loss to Trinidad & Tobago that saw the U.S. miss out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Since then, it has only been friendlies under interim head coach Dave Sarachan for the Red, White and Blue fans to chew on.
Sunday’s game against Panama is also only a friendly but it marks the start of something new. Berhalter was hired by U.S. Soccer from Columbus Crew SC as the country’s newest head coach in early December.
