Just as Sands returned to MLS to improve after his first Euro stint, it feels like Gio should do the same.

The Chicago Fire have a DP slot open and a need for a high-level playmaker. Seems like a pretty great fit.

@mattdoyle.bsky.social perfect fit with Chicago 5 of 7 I'm saying it's perfect

Matt, you scamp

mattdoyle.bsky.social•123 days ago

A ton.

Steffen, Meram, Finlay, Trapp, Valenzuela, Ola, Kei, Gyasi, Artur... long list. Guys get better playing for him, which is why so many of the guys on the USMNT roster love him.

There's a long list of guys who got better or had great seasons under Berhalter. I'll add Tony Tchani to the list as there was a moment he was getting call ups from US & Cameron NTs.

It’s almost like he knows what he’s doing. I still don’t get some of his player choices with the US but, the guy didn’t win a raffle to get a coaching job.

It’s extremely underrated how well he navigated some of the players youth naivety. He dealt with a lot and it rarely showed on the field until the end.

Tony Tchani got capped by two different countries under Gregg, that’s a step towards canonization.

nordeckian.bsky.social•123 days ago

You could make the argument that most of those guys peaked under GGG. Metal, Finlay,Trapp, Ola and Artur have been solid but not nearly as good as they were with Gregg

Yeah but not Afful. He never became Better, just stayed Afful.

I’m so sorry.

I can’t with this 😂 Berhalter needs to be the one to save Gio’s career after Gio’s family ruined Berhalter’s UMSNT career?? Didn’t see this arc coming into play.
