The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) has been eliminated from the Copa América after a 1-0 loss to Uruguay in Kansas City. This defeat, coupled with Panama's victory over Bolivia, ensured that the USMNT did not advance past the group stage in Group C. The loss has sparked significant criticism of head coach Gregg Berhalter, with calls for his removal growing louder. The USMNT's performance has raised concerns about the team's preparedness for the 2026 World Cup, which the United States will host. Key players and analysts have expressed disappointment, citing a lack of quality, tactical issues, and a low xG of 0.29 as major factors in the team's early exit.

It's crazy that he's not the head coach of the USMNT. https://t.co/NnFi2s6z3q
"This is not good enough from Gregg Berhalter... We can't afford to be embarrassed, and we can't afford to arrive in the summer of 2026 with a team that has not progressed, that has not evolved, and has not improved." 🇺🇸 - @AlexiLalas https://t.co/9u03yHamaS
"I think they are better soccer players, but ultimately I don't think that they are better USMNT players." @AlexiLalas shares his thoughts after the USMNT's Copa América exit ⬇️ https://t.co/X6DamIZbXG
So the #USMNT is out at the group stage: their #CopaAmerica hopes wrecked on a frenetic night of drama and controversial officiating in Kansas City https://t.co/pu91ZXaNCf
Make the call, USMNT https://t.co/erllNsFl55
As someone that became aware of this tournament just three weeks ago, I’ve got some takes on this #USMNT effort. https://t.co/kKjx6jRXpZ
I’m apathetic to the USMNT. This generation is toothless and the manager is a clown. Zero chance we contend at the 26 World Cup. Gonna be embarrassing to crash out on home soil
"At the end of the day, there just wasn't enough quality." @JennyTaft catches up with USMNT's Christian Pulisic after the match ⬇️ https://t.co/lSGPYpPM6X
Did we overrate the USMNT player pool? 🤔 @JimmyConrad, @MelissaMOrtiz, @Wes5L1nk and @MauriceEdu are discussing on #FOXSoccerNow ⬇️ https://t.co/nriOYF3jDx
Gregg Berhalter should have never been brought back. My god he’s an awful manager. #CopaAmerica

"This is our Golden Generation. Looks like we're wasting it. 2026 World Cup is coming up." - Clint Dempsey on the USMNT after getting eliminated in the Copa America group stage.
The USMNT is officially eliminated from Copa America 😯 ✅ URU +160 ✅ U 2.5 Total Goals https://t.co/Zra5PqhNqY
Absolutely embarrassing that Gregg Berhalter couldn't get out of that group. He simply can't get the job done when the US is tested against top nations and pressure matches. No creativity. No attacking threat. Find a coach who can get the most out of this generation.
MyPOV - #USMNT crashes out of #CopaAmerica, the rest for the #WorldCup2026 failed. Big decision ok Berhalter. This was manageable, not scoring since 158 minutes won't help at any tournament. Congrats to #URU and #PAN to go on. 116 / 60% passes is not enough #CopaAmerica2024 https://t.co/mBZSYIFOPl
Do the thing, @USMNT https://t.co/PRKpoMsAYk
USMNT fans 🤝 College football fans Fire our coach
I think the biggest problem with USMNT is they’re bad
Uruguay goes undefeated to win Group C, while the U.S. is going home. 😬 ✅ URU +160 ✅ U 2.5 Total Goals https://t.co/9ZtizVuMZv https://t.co/JH0UxHGPGY
What will finally fix USA soccer? 🇺🇸 ⚽️
The USMST needs to start from scratch. What a blown opportunity to show the world the program is big time, but it’s still small time after losing 1-0 to Uruguay and being eliminated from Copa America.
It’s a cruel world that we lost the Pac-12 but have not yet been freed from Gregg Berhalter. 😢
Clint Dempsey ain’t walking thru that door #USMNT #PitinoGame
Clean house https://t.co/LQx5gD4UDJ
USMNT never fails to disappoint. Time to dump their awful head coach Berhalter #USMNT
Uruguay stays perfect in the Group Stage and locks in the top spot in Group C 🇺🇾 The #FOXSoccerNow crew is recapping USA vs. Uruguay 👇 https://t.co/nriOYF3jDx
This is crazy. https://t.co/OQ4kKJJbVe
The main ref was awful. Berhalter is bad and likely gone. But the players need to take responsibility as well. Let's see what happens.
USA ELIMINATED FROM COPA AMERICA. ON HOME SOIL. URUGUAY LOSS MEANS USMNT GET GROUPED IN LAST MEANINGFUL TEST BEFORE 2026 WORLD CUP. SO MANY QUESTIONS. WHERE DOES US SOCCER GO FROM HERE? DO WE BURN IT ALL DOWN AND START OVER? OR ARE WE GOING TO LIVE AND DIE THIS WAY? https://t.co/Uv4JOohzBe
All my homies hate Gregg Berhalter
USMNT needs to bring in Ted Lasso to be the coach
I guess the plan to win 0-0 didn't work for the USMNT
Let Weah's red card and awful refereeing cloud your judgment if you like, but soaking up "but VAR" won't do much good if Gregg Berhalter stays put as USMNT coach. Hosting a World Cup in two years' time, this level of play is unacceptable. These players don't suck. Deserve better.
It is difficult to escape the feeling Gregg Berhalter was put in position to wear the potential for any Copa failure. Won’t defend his tactics or performances but US Soccer has two really important years ahead. Indecisiveness would be the worst of all ways forward.
Heartbreak for the USMNT 💔 The United States has been eliminated from Copa América https://t.co/biY3AAwTwJ
Team USA men’s and women’s hoops will redeem us next month 🏅 🇺🇸 🏀
FT: #usmnt 0-1 Uruguay. The U.S. is out of the Copa America, an utter disappointment, one that should cost Gregg Berhalter his job. For all the U.S.'s huffing and puffing, a fair result. Uruguay just ground the U.S. into dust, with a U.S. xG of 0.29 for the game.
He's got to go #USMNT
Final. https://t.co/0quRsdr9yS

Berhalter is done, and he knows it.
Something we’ve always known: Gregg Berhalter ain’t the guy
The USMNT dominated Bolivia and Panama and then played a really good Uruguay team even. More than good enough to advance. Just not much you can do with reffing like this.
