What's up internet. Are you Gregg Berhalter out now? The United States Men's National Team lost to Uruguay last night 1-0. Ed and Matt do an instant reaction podcast. It's another group therapy session really.

We break down what went wrong in this game. There was the bad camera angle of the world feed. The officiating was an inconsistent mess. And that's before we get to the Uruguay goal being clearly offsides, right? The USMNT once again tried hard and had some good ideas. But they got outplayed. They lacked the finishing touch.

We discuss everything from a micro and macro perspective. Matt goes off on why simply discounting this Copa America failure because of the Tim Weah red card is wrong. This is another moral victory that we've seen before in similar situations, just in the third game instead of the fourth.

Ed and Matt go back and forth on why this loss really hurts and what comes next. We predict whether or not Gregg Berhalter will be fired and what getting eliminated in the group stage means and says about 2026. Things are not well. Courage.
