If you were fooled into thinking that the U.S. Men’s National Team were ready to compete with Mexico, Friday night brought you right back to down earth with a bang. Not only were the USMNT utterly outmatched by their opponents; they proceded to play in such a lacklustre manner that some fans have been calling for the head of Gregg Berhalter.
That is very harsh — I will get onto why later. But there is no denying that was a very poor performance from the US, who would have been hoping to make a statement against their great ‘rivals’.
