Gregg Berhalter has been fired as coach of the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team following a disappointing performance in the Copa America. The U.S. Soccer Federation announced the firing Wednesday, following what was a dismal group stage exit in the tournament hosted on U.S. soil.
But its 2-1 loss to Panama on June 27 largely diminished the team’s chances of moving on. The game was marred by a Tim Weah red card after he threw a punch at a Panamanian player. The infraction left the U.S. team team down a man only 18 minutes into the game. José Fajardo scored in the 83rd minute to seal the game for Panama. The U.S. was then bounced from the tournament after a 1-0 loss on July 1 to perennial South American powerhouse Uruguay, a 15-time Copa America champion.
