USMNT’s Copa América flop should cost Gregg Berhalter his job. Will it?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The fallout began with a shake of Gregg Berhalter’s head, and thousands of boos, and dozens of bereft stares. Nobody knows how it will end, but it began here Monday night with U.S. soccer fans winding down Arrowhead Stadium ramps and chanting: “Fire Gregg! Fire Gregg!

It continued an hour later with downcast players trudging through a post-match interview zone. All who stopped to talk with journalists were asked some version of the same question: Do they still have faith in Berhalter? Should he continue as their head coach?

“Ahh … that is quite a blunt question,” defender Antonee Robinson said.
