U.S. men's soccer has a chance to make a federation-changing move two years out from hosting a World Cup. There is one correct answer to the problem it now faces: Convince Jurgen Klopp to take over as manager of the U.S. men's national team.
The U.S. fired Gregg Berhalter on Wednesday following a disappointing Copa America showing. The move leaves the national team with a managerial opening less than two years before the 2026 World Cup. That's a disastrous place to be considering the squad will have few upcoming competitive matches as it sits out World Cup qualifying due to earning an automatic bid as host. This is a completely self-inflicted wound, as U.S. Soccer opted to re-hire Berhalter for this cycle after a Round of 16 exit at the 2022 World Cup.
