Despite the criticism of the team and its recent results, Berhalter believes in his players.
"It's a group that's developing," he said on Thursday. "I think it's a resilient, brave group. From Day 1, the players have been focused on every single thing we've asked of them. And for me that mindset is amazing. We're embracing [the pressure]. When you look at the history of U.S. soccer, we've been in situations like this before. This is what builds the team, this is what makes the team strong. We need events like this to help the team grow."
Listen everyone and I'm not trying to be a smartass either. He needs to say, "It's a group that's WINNING." I'm so SICK of this stupid word, "developing." It's trick word because we are not winning.
