Gregg Berhalter joins Pulisic docuseries, calls USMNT's Copa America exit a 'disaster from start to finish'

Berhalter, speaking on the Paramount+ documentary 'PULISIC,' opened up about what happened at the Copa in 2024

The past year or so has been a whirlwind for the United States men's national team with them crashing out of the group stage of the Copa America and disappointing on home soil in both the Concacaf Nations League and Gold Cup. The surprising group stage exit at the Copa America was a result that led to the firing of long-term manager Gregg Berhalter and the hiring of Mauricio Pochettino to push the club forward in 2024.

In the "PULISIC" documentary, which is currently streaming on Paramount+, Berhalter opened up about why the team ultimately failed on the most important stage ahead of hosting the 2026 World Cup.

"It was a complete disaster from start to finish," Berhalter said. "We got a red card in the Panama game, and in the Uruguay game, we had some pretty questionable refereeing. Anytime you fail like that, you're accountable and you leave yourself open to a potential firing, and that's coaching at the highest level."
