When the tragedy is consummated, Sports journalists in the United States reacted to what they qualify as one of the worst defeats in the history of the national team. Some even compare it to the defeat against Trinidad and Tobago in 2017.
Sam Stejskal – The Athletics
More than just embarrassing, the USMNT’s loss at Canada was a pull-back-the-curtain moment. This is a mediocre team short on high-end talent with a coach who seems to be married to a system that doesn’t fit his players.

“More than embarrassing, the loss of the USMNT in Canada was a time of retreat. This is a mediocre team with little high-end talent with a coach who seems to be married to a system that does not fit their players. On a disastrous night in Toronto. ”
Grant Wahl- Sports Illustrated
FT Canada 2: 0 USMNT. Fully deserved win, Canada’s first vs USA in 34 years. US used to be hard to play against. That hasn't been the case for years. Serious questions over whether Gregg Berhalter is fit for the job.

Quien eres?
That’s the one question I have for the USMNT.
Unrecognizable. Don't fight
For everything the past USMNT program (s) didn’t have … they knew who they were. #USMNT

"Who are you?
That is the only question I have for the USMNT. Unrecognizable. Dont fight. For all that previous USMNT programs didn't have … they knew who it was. #USMNT. "
Joe Prince-Wright – NBC Sports
This was a chance for #USMNT to kick on and prove how much progress they’ve made under Gregg Berhalter. It felt like a big moment to decide the direction his reign would head in.
Sure, not Altidore, Brooks, Adams and Weah. But no progress either. This result was coming for USA ??

This was an opportunity for USMNT to kick and demonstrate how much process they have accomplished with Gregg Berhalter. It felt like a great moment to decide in which direction his reign would go. Sure, without Altidore, Brooks, Adams and Weah. But there is no progress either. This result did not take long for the USA ”.
Jeff Carlisle – ESPN
FT: The #usmnt loses 2-0 to the #canmnt. Nothing fluky about it either. Canada by the far the better side on the night. In two years since Couva has there been any progress for the #usmnt? The answer has to be no.
– Jeff Carlisle (@JeffreyCarlisle) October 16, 2019
FT: The USMNT loses 2-0 with Canada. Nothing weird about it. Canada, by far, the best side of the night. In two years besides Cuba, has there been any progress for the USMNT? The answer has to be no.
Roger Gonzalez – CBS Sports
Was told this by someone outside but close to the #USMNT program Thoughts?
"Strange tactics, subs that make no sense, certain players being put in positions to fail because they aren’t good enough. Coach is trying to make his name off them being successes. Recipe for disaster."
– Roger Gonzalez (@RGonzalezCBS) October 16, 2019
“Someone told me outside, but close to the USMNT program. Thoughts?
‘Strange tactics, substitutes that make no sense, certain players are in positions where they do not perform. The coach is trying to make his name a success. Recipe for disaster. ”
Kim McCauley – SB Nation
Broke: Equal pay
Woke: Stop paying the USMNT anything at all– Kim McCauley (@lgbtqfc) October 16, 2019
“It's over: Equal pay
He woke up: Stop paying the USMNT. ”
Alexi Lalas
“Sorry, I walked away. Are we outraged? #USMNT. "
Caitlin Murray – NY Times
Ian Darke just called this one of the worst #USMNT performances he has ever seen. Taylor Twellman says it’s up there with the T&T loss in qualifying.

“Ian Darke has just called this one of the worst performances he has ever seen of USMNT. Taylor Twellman says he lives up to the loss of T&T in qualifying. ”
Ryan Rosenblatt – Fox Sports
I'm so old I remember when the #USMNT didn’t embarrass me

"I'm so old that I remember when the USMNT didn't embarrass me."
Fernando Palomo – ESPN
"This USMNT is full of bad men in football."
Collin McCollough – Bleacher Report
USMNT thoughts:
-Maybe seriously search for a manager & don't just hire your brother to coach.
-Maybe don't start & play 362-year-old Michael Bradley 90 '
-Maybe don't call up bad players (Roldan, Lovitz) & be surprised they're bad
-Maybe embrace the fight US was once known for– Collin McCollough (@cmccollo) October 16, 2019
“Thoughts on USMNT:
-Maybe seriously look for a coach not only hire your brother as technical director.
-Maybe not start and play Michael Bradley, 362 years old 90’s ’
-Maybe not call bad players (Roldan, Lovitz) and be surprised that they are bad. ”
