CINCINNATI -- U.S. men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter said his staff and players "need to be calm" and that he won't scrap his system in the wake of the Americans' 3-0 defeat to Venezuela.
The match was intended to serve as the final tune-up for the U.S. ahead of the Gold Cup, which opens for the Americans on June 18 when it takes on Guyana in St. Paul, Minnesota. What transpired instead was a brutal performance that saw the U.S. fall behind by three goals within the first 36 minutes.
"I think we need to be calm," Berhalter said.
