There was a time when bad performances or bad results for the US Men’s National Team would barely cause a ripple outside the locker room. There was no huge fallout in the media and no outrage among supporters. I remember it well - I was in the team.
Compare that to the reaction to Tuesday’s loss against Mexico: 'F***ing disgraceful. Disaster. Embarrassing. Unacceptable’. Sure, it was the USA’s first setback under . But, to me, it’s a good sign. Critics are healthy. I would much rather see an avalanche of anger than no reaction at all.
US fans have put up with the debacle of and then the firing of Gregg Berhalter. No wonder they were hungry for a new start and a big performance. No wonder they felt let down when it didn’t come. Especially against Mexico. Especially when their star player was nowhere to be seen.
