-USSF press conference -Earnie Stewart out -Deadline Day - Leed USA -Wrexham -Todd Boehly Loophole -Half baked idea

What's up Internet? On this episode of Last Word Soccer Club Radio, Matt, Rachael, and Ed get together to talk all things U.S. Soccer. We discuss Earnie Stewart and Brian McBride leaving their roles and what comes next as we still don't have a head coach and Gregg Berhalter is still under investigation. We take whatever conclusions one can from the two January Camp games. Then we discuss the SheBelieves Cup and injuries relevant to the Women's World Cup. 

The USMNT are shaking everything up and the boys are here to break it all down. What do the official departures of legends Earnie Stewart and Brian McBride & the uncertainty around Gregg Berhalter mean for the national team? Plus, Weston McKennie to Leeds seems inevitable at this point - is it the right move for both parties? Thanks to everyone who called in!

Big news has dropped over the past couple days, and we discuss it on Episode 94 of the SSFC Podcast. The announcement today that the 2024 Copa América will be hosted in the United States is part of a major collaboration between Concacaf and CONMEBOL that includes joint participation in the 2024 Copa América, 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup, and a newly created “final four” style club competition. We discuss the competitions and what it means for both confederations. After the break, U.S. Soccer is set to lose Earnie Stewart as the federation's sporting director will depart next month. USMNT general manager Brian McBride is also out at the end of this month, and Anthony Hudson is the interim USMNT head coach for the foreseeable future. Now that we have a loaded schedule of competitive matches, the pressure is on the federation to be efficient in hiring a new sporting director and head coach, because fans are starting to have the same feeling that they had in 2018. We will be back real soon to recap the MNT January Camp as well as the USWNT matches from earlier in the month. Episodes will be coming quickly as we determine the future of this show, so please send questions or topic suggestions to SSFC Podcast at Gmail dot com. Learn more about your ad choices.

There are many reasons parents shouldn't be overprotective. The psychological effects of overprotective parents can be significant. The most notable one is that it hurts their children's growth and development into well-adjusted, independent adults. Here are the different ways this harm manifests. PORTLAND, Ore. — Crystal Dunn was often the only Black girl on her youth soccer clubs, and even when she finally made it to the national team, she did her own hair and makeup for photo shoots because "there wasn't someone set up for me." While the U.S. national team has steadily become more representative, Dunn says there's still work to be done. That starts with making sure young women of color feel included all the way down to the youth level. "I had very supportive parents who explained to me that, 'This is OK, you are still welcome in this sport. And just because there aren't many people that look like you, this is still your game,'" Dunn said. That support was key to her success "because honestly at the end of the day, it's pretty lonely to feel like you're the only one in this space and to not feel as if you belong." From the inquire.org : U.S. Soccer dismisses USMNT general manager Brian McBride McBride and sporting director Earnie Stewart received complaints from Claudio Reyna, their former U.S. teammate, over the lack of playing time for Claudio's son Gio at the recent World Cup. Brian McBride is out as U.S. men's soccer team general manager, multiple outlets reported Friday night, in the wake of the World Cup and this month's Reyna-Berhalter scandal. McBride and sporting director Earnie Stewart received complaints from Claudio Reyna, their former U.S. teammate, over the lack of playing time for Claudio's son, Gio, in Qatar. It's not yet known how McBride responded to them. Nor is it specifically clear whether Claudio sent McBride the threat to reveal manager Gregg Berhalter's 31-year-old domestic violence incident that Claudio's wife, Danielle Reyna, sent to Stewart. Danielle sent the threat, and later publicly admitted to doing so, without the consent of the victim, her former college roommate and Gregg's then-girlfriend — now-wife of 25-plus years — Rosalind. What Happens when you overprotect your children: -Worry is a recurrent, dysfunctional and rigid form of negative thinking that is often a primary sign of generalized anxiety disorder. -Parental overprotection can undermine a child's development of independent coping skills. -Overprotectiveness conveys to the child a sense that the world is dangerous. It reinforces avoidance and keeps children from engaging in social situations restricting the opportunities to build friendships and learn social skills. -Overprotective parents go out of their way to make sure their children don't fail. They rescue their children quickly and provide them with unnecessary assistance, often without being asked. -Higher occurrence of anxiety and depression, overprotected children also have lower self-esteem and confidence in their ability to solve everyday problems. -Overprotective parenting is associated with high degrees of bullying experienced by the child --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coachcameron/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/coachcameron/support

#SOCCER #GREGGBERHALTER #REYNA Danielle Reyna told U.S. Soccer about past Gregg Berhalter domestic violence incident Danielle Reyna, wife of former United States men's national team captain Claudio and mother of current international player Gio, says she told U.S. Soccer sporting director Earnie Stewart about USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter's past domestic violence incident because she was frustrated by comments made about her son after the team's elimination from the 2022 World Cup. "During the World Cup an individual contacted U.S. Soccer, saying that they had information about me that would 'take me down' - an apparent effort to leverage something very personal from long ago to bring about the end of my relationship with U.S. Soccer," Berhalter said. "In the fall of 1991, I met my soulmate. I had just turned 18 and was a freshman in college when I met Rosalind," Berhalter said. "One night, while out drinking at a local bar, Rosalind and I had a heated argument that continued outside. It became physical and I kicked her in the legs." Couple of questions we must ask? How hard did he kick her? Where did he kick her? How was his technique? If this is what it takes to get rid of Gregg Berhalter so be it. Let's not forget how Gregg was hired via nepotism. Consider that Berhalter's brother Jay is among the most powerful officials in U.S. Soccer at the time of his hiring. The fact that Ernie Stewart said Jay Berhalter played no role in the hiring of his brother but that he did participate in the decision to hire Stewart, raises questions over a potential conflict of interest. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coachcameron/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/coachcameron/support

Jordan Angeli and Charlie Davies welcome U.S. Soccer Sporting Director Earnie Stewart to the show. Though rarely one to look back on the past, Stewart reminisced on his playing career, delving into how he first came into the USMNT, his historic game-winning goal against Colombia in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and becoming the first Black player to captain the side in a World Cup - he wore the armband against Portugal in the 2002 tournament opener. Back in the Netherlands since the beginning of the COVID shutdown in March, Stewart expands on the issues of racism, sharing what he has experienced, the things he’s observed from Holland, and how this moment can be used to make tangible, lasting change. Finally, Stewart discusses his current role overseeing the sporting side of the Federation, gives an update on where U.S. Soccer stands on the potential changes to the USMNT’s World Cup Qualifying path, and explains his short-term and long-term goals as Sporting Director.

Pulisic, USA’s only elite prospect on the current roster, was ruled out of the next two matches due to injury. So, what did US Soccer do? Damage control. […] The post Episode 232: Earnie Stewart Gives Gregg Berhalter and the USMNT Another Hall Pass appeared first on 3four3.

We do actually think of a couple tweaks Berhalter could make that would inject this game with some hope and joy. Before that we talk about Earnie Stewart’s assessment of Berhalter’s performance in comments to reporters, give a sense of what the Canadian player pool is up to these days, and discuss potential lineups for both teams on Friday. At the end we briefly discuss the U23 Olympic qualifying camp in the Canary Islands.

When the U.S. men’s national team departed JFK International Airport for France on June 5, 1998, many players assumed they were headed straight into the heart of World Cup action. Fourteen hours later, they arrived in the middle of nowhere. It’s common for elite national teams to train in isolation during the final days before the World Cup. Argentina was holed up in the town of L’Etrat, in the Loire Valley. The English were hiding out on a golf resort an hour west of Nantes. U.S. head coach Steve Sampson wanted the same thing for his players. “We were staying at the Chateau de Pizay, in one of the finest hotels in the world,” he tells Roger Bennett in episode 5 of American Fiasco. “We had a five-star chef preparing meals for these players. We had a magnificent training ground. France, Brazil and England all stayed there and I felt it was good enough for our national team.” However, the Chateau de Pizay was surrounded by 130 acres of beaujolais vineyards in Saint-Jean-d'Ardières, four hours away from Paris. Defender Marcelo Balboa remembers his frustration. “You're like, 'We're isolated up in a mountain, in a vineyard where I have to ride a bike into town 10 minutes just to get out and go do something.' We were like, 'Why are we being isolated? Why are we being secluded? Why are we being put by ourselves out here?'” Jeremy Schaap, then an ESPN reporter embedded with the team, explains: “Look, mostly these were guys who were expecting something out of the World Cup akin to what Olympic athletes get out of the Olympic Village.” “We wanted this to be ridiculously special for the players,” says Sampson. “It cost the Federation a lot more money than they anticipated.” But his players just couldn’t -- or wouldn’t -- hack it. In the Chateau, their gilded prison, the inmates were going a little batty. “It looked great from the outside,” remarks forward Eric Wynalda. But inside? “It was Hotel California, man, and we were inside those walls trying to figure out how we could just get through the next day.” Everyone had their way of coping. High-stakes poker games were popular. Midfielder Preki Radosavljevic soon amassed enough cash to fill a sock he slung over his shoulder. (“Most of it was mine,” notes Wynalda.) Once, press officer Jim Froslid saw a pot that was about half his salary. Needless to say, he didn’t join the game. Forward Brian McBride read the New Testament cover to cover for the first (and only) time. Midfielder Brian Maisonneuve told a reporter he was reading les pages jaunes … the yellow pages. Meanwhile, veteran midfielders Cobi Jones and Earnie Stewart were spotted having conversations with the local ducks. Each of these men, everyone on that team, had devoted his professional and personal life to this moment. They’d all made enormous sacrifices to be here, had beaten out every other American to make the squad, and then competed against each other to lock down starting roles. They’d desperately tried to impress their coach even when they did not understand what he wanted from them. They had lost their captain. And now, they felt they were losing their minds. On June 14th, 1998, the first kick-off was just a night away. Come morning, the U.S. would battle Germany on the football field. The whole world would be watching.
