Within hours, the club had transformed from one of the worst teams in the league into a global sensation.</p>



<p>Messi delivered as Inter Miami won the competition, and the new Inter Miami began to take shape. This season, in its second year as a competition involving all of MLS vs. all of Liga MX, the tournament will have to continue without the world’s biggest star.</p>



<p>Amid supporter protests over MLS’ decision to withdraw from the US Open Cup, the second year of the new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leagues Cup</a> tournament will navigate turbulent waters without Lionel Messi and fan outrage over MLS prioritizing what many believe to be a “waste of time” over supporting one of US Soccer’s most prestigious competitions.</p>



<h2>Messi Out Injured</h2>



<p>The reason Lionel Messi will not be playing in the Leagues Cup is due to an injury he sustained to his ankle during the final of the 2024 Copa America, which Argentina won, granting Messi his second Copa America with Argentina.</p>

<p>Currently, most of the information available to fans and media about Messi’s ankle consists of images of the Argentine using a boot. How long Messi will be out remains a mystery, as swollen ankles typically heal in two to three weeks as the body adjusts to the injury.</p>

Why is Lionel Messi not playing for Inter Miami in Leagues Cup 2024?

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a> </strong>wants <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/leagues-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leagues Cup</a> </strong>to be something important. It will be a tall order with Liga MX coaches calling it “worthless” or “a waste of time” and having to start the competition without the league’s biggest star, Lionel Messi.</p>



<p>Messi will most likely miss the entire tournament due to an ankle injury picked up in the final of the 2024 Copa America. Defending champions Inter Miami still have a competitive side to potentially win back-to-back titles, but from a commercial standpoint, the absence of Messi diminishes the Leagues Cup’s appeal.</p>



<p>Now the competition may face another obstacle as some MLS club supporters’ groups are threatening to boycott matches, with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/austin-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Austin FC</a></strong>’s Austin Anthem being the second to make it official.</p>



<h2>Why are MLS supporters boycotting Leagues Cup?</h2>



<p>In the case of Austin FC’s Austin Anthem, the boycott of the Leagues Cup stems from MLS’ decision to abandon the US Open Cup this season. All but eight MLS teams were removed from the competition, citing “schedule congestion”.</p>



<p>Immediately following this announcement, fans and supporters called for a return to the US Open Cup and criticized the Leagues Cup, which is viewed as primarily a money-making opportunity for MLS and Liga MX.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="828" height="396" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28064321/GTG2ZIjWUAAInLd-828x396.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148837" sizes="(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px"></figure></div></figure>



<p>Supporters Clubs of St. Louis CITY SC also announced in March that they would boycott the tournament after their club was removed from the US Open Cup by MLS.</p>

<p>The conflict between US Soccer and MLS over the US Open Cup revolves around exposure and profit sharing. MLS feels it is not adequately compensated for its clubs’ participation in the tournament. A deal to have MLS return in full to the tournament is still being negotiated for 2025.</p>

<p>The captain of the<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina"> Argentine national team</a> </strong>and <strong>Inter Miami CF, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/messi">Lionel Messi</a>, suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle </strong>during the<strong> Copa America final against Colombia.</strong> The news was confirmed by the American club through an official statement.</p>



<p><strong>Messi was substituted in the second half of the match against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colombia">Colombia</a> after a knock and a large inflammation could be seen in his right ankle.</strong> While surgery will not be needed, you will need time to fully recover.</p>



<p><strong>I</strong>n a message published on his social networks, Messi expressed his happiness for the conquest of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america">Copa America 2024</a> </strong>with<strong> Argentina </strong>and assured that he is <strong>“fine” </strong>and that he hopes to<strong> “return to the fields soon”.</strong> According to Inter Miami CF: <strong>Leonel Messi has suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle</strong>.</p>



<h2>How long is the recovery time for Messi’s injury?</h2>



<p>The recovery time of a professional football player with a ligament injury in his right ankle, according to experts, depends significantly on the severity of the injury. If it is a <strong>Grade 1 (mild) Sprain</strong>, recovery usually takes between 2 and 10 days, according to information from fourfourtwo.com.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28064709/Lionel-Messi-Argentina-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-147398" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi of Argentina reacts after leaving the game with an injury during the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 Final match between Argentina and Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium on July 14, 2024 in Miami Gardens, Florida. <strong>Photo by Buda Mendes/Getty Images</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>If the Sprain is <strong>Grade 2 (moderate)</strong>, recovery usually takes about 10 to 30 days, according to NYDNRehab.com. Finally, a <strong>Grade 3 (severe)</strong> Sprain can take 30 to 90 days or more to recover, as noted by Mass General Brigham. This type of injury can sometimes require surgical intervention; however, the latter option is ruled out for Lionel Messi.</p>



<h2>Inter Miami reveals the severity of Messi’s injury</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami CF</a> has provided an injury update</strong> presented by Baptist Health for captain Leo Messi. Where the scope and degree of the injury that the Argentine star has is detailed.</p>

<h2>How many games will Messi miss with Inter Miami?</h2>



<p>As a result of the injury,<strong> Messi will miss a minimum of two games with Inter Miami CF. </strong>His team will play this Wednesday in the <strong>MLS</strong> against <strong>Toronto</strong> and next Saturday against <strong>Chicago Fire</strong>.<strong> </strong></p>



<p>The team’s coach,<strong> Gerardo Martino, said that there is no possibility that Messi will play these matches.</strong> <strong>Messi could potentially return to the field on Aug. 3, </strong>when Inter Miami CF faces <strong>Tigres UANL</strong> in a <strong>Leagues Cup</strong> match. <a href="https://www.bing.com/sportsdetails?q=Tigres%20UANL%20vs%20Inter%20Miami&amp;gameid=SportRadar_Soccer_InternationalClubsLeaguesCup_2024_Game_48614027&amp;league=Soccer_InternationalClubsLeaguesCup&amp;scenario=GameCenter&amp;intent=Game&amp;iscelebratedgame=False&amp;TimezoneId=Venezuela%20Standard%20Time&amp;sport=Soccer&amp;team=SportRadar_Soccer_InternationalClubsLeaguesCup_2024_Team_1940&amp;team2=SportRadar_Soccer_InternationalClubsLeaguesCup_2024_Team_659691&amp;segment=sports&amp;isl2=true&amp;"></a></p>

<p><strong>Patrick Vieira</strong>‘s potential appointment as the new <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a></strong> coach is gaining traction. The former French national team star previously managed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-city-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NYCFC</a> in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> for three seasons.</p>



<p>During Vieira’s tenure, the NYCFC project gained momentum, laying the groundwork for future success despite not securing any silverware.</p>



<p>Following his MLS stint, Vieira managed Nice, Crystal Palace, and most recently Strasbourg, achieving mixed results. According to Fabrizio Romano, Vieira mutually agreed to part ways with Strasbourg, despite having two years left on his contract, opening a path for the USSF to potentially approach him.</p>



<h2>Patrick Vieira option to coach USMNT</h2>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-three-ideal-candidates-to-take-over-usmnt-editorial" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240711_BUS_143909_USMNT.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="With Jürgen Klopp declining USSF&apos;s offer, here are the top three candidates realistically positioned to lead the USMNT.
" title="The three ideal candidates to take over USMNT" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/the-three-ideal-candidates-to-take-over-usmnt-editorial"></div>


<p>Regarding Vieira’s option to coach the USMNT, Romano stated, <em>“Nothing advanced or close at this stage, but Vieira is one of the options being discussed, not the only one.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28064741/Patrick-Vieira-2-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-147190" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Patrick Vieira </figcaption></figure>



<p>Vieira has prior experience with American players, boasting a respectable 40-28-22 record during his tenure with NYCFC. However, his coaching career since then has seen a more moderate level of success, with a winning percentage around 35%.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/usmnt-the-legacy-of-gregg-berhalter" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240711_BUS_143841_Gregg-Berhalter.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Gregg Berhalter was fired as head coach of the USMNT after a series of poor results that culminated in the team&apos;s group exit from the Copa America hosted by the nation.

" title="USMNT: The legacy of Gregg Berhalter" publication_id="BUS#/sports/usmnt-the-legacy-of-gregg-berhalter"></div>


<p>In his single season with Strasbourg, Vieira managed a record of 14-15-10. Known for his methodical, possession-based style of football across all his teams, Vieira has demonstrated a tendency to adopt a more defensive approach in challenging situations.</p>


Patrick Vieira could be the next USMNT manager?

<p><strong>Marco Reus</strong> is on the brink of embarking on a new journey as the 35-year-old attacker/winger looks set to head to the United States. After concluding his illustrious 12-season career at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/borussia-dortmund" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Borussia Dortmund</a></strong>, where Reus amassed 429 appearances and 170 goals, he is not ready to hang up his boots just yet.</p>



<p>According to Fabrizio Romano, all the pieces are falling into place for Reus to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> side <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-galaxy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Galaxy</a></strong>. Local reports also indicate that Reus would be a Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) signing and not a Designated Player, given that the Galaxy already have three designated players.</p>



<p>Reus has been a long-standing target for the Galaxy, though there have been bureaucratic hurdles regarding his entry into the league, with Charlotte FC holding his “discovery rights.”</p>



<h2>Reus to MLS</h2>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a></strong> and <strong>Adidas</strong> have announced the 2024 collection of the “MLS Archive Collection,” paying homage to past eras of MLS teams while adding a modern twist to certain historical periods.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The worst-kept secret was <strong>Inter Miami</strong>’s third kit, which appears to be a tribute to the Miami Dolphins of the NFL, although MLS and Adidas won’t admit that.</p>



<p>The other teams participating in the Archive Collection include <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-galaxy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LA Galaxy</a>, LAFC, Portland Timbers, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sporting-kansas-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sporting Kansas City</a>. The LA Galaxy and Sporting Kansas City kits are throwbacks to the inaugural seasons of MLS in 1996 and 1997.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>MLS Archive Kit information&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Galaxy wore their Archive kits when Nike was their uniform supplier at the league’s inception, while Sporting Kansas City was originally known as the Wiz and later the Wizards after the 1996 season.</p>

<p>LAFC’s kit draws inspiration from 1970s-era Southern California iconography, while the Portland Timbers’ design pays homage to Clive Charles, a former Portland Timbers player in the 1970s and a former assistant coach for the US Men’s National Team.</p>

Inter Miami and other MLS teams unveil Archive Kits

<p><strong>Inter Miami</strong> are signing yet another player from the Argentine league to continue helping <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong>. According to Argentine journalist German Garcia Grova of <em>TyC Sports</em>, the Herons are landing River Plate defender <strong>Hector David Martinez</strong> on loan.</p>



<p>The defender, known for his solid performances, will now bring his talents to Major League Soccer. Martinez’s move to the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a></strong> side is expected to bolster Inter Miami’s defensive lineup as they look to make a strong push in the league. This transfer marks a significant shift in the player’s career and adds a fresh dynamic to the team’s roster.</p>



<p>Martinez, the Argentine-born naturalized Paraguayan, brings a wealth of experience to his new team, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a>. His career includes multiple seasons with River Plate, a notable loan stint at <strong>Defensa y Justicia</strong>, and a total of 118 appearances with 4 goals scored. </p>



<p>Martinez is the latest addition to Inter Miami’s impressive lineup of Argentine players. He joins a roster already featuring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>, Federico Redondo, Marcelo Weigandt, Facundo Farias, and Tomas Aviles. Under the guidance of head coach Gerardo Martino, this influx of Argentine talent promises to enhance both the experience and quality of the team’s defense. </p>

MLS: Inter Miami make yet another signing to continue helping Lionel Messi

MLS: Inter Miami make yet another signing to continue helping Lionel Messi - Bolavip US

<p>And it’s done. The USSF dismissed <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gregg-berhalter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gregg Berhalter</a></strong>; it was long in the making and for some fans and pundits, long overdue. Berhalter became the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a></strong> manager under dubious circumstances, a manager with little on his CV save for one MLS Cup appearance with the Columbus Crew, a final which he lost, and a brother who worked within US Soccer. Gregg Berhalter was seen as an “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> agenda” hire as a result of nepotism.</p>



<p><br>On paper, Gregg Berhalter should have been a reasonable hire for the US position, a former US international who established a very good career in Europe playing in the Netherlands, England, and Germany before arriving to end his career in MLS. On the USMNT as a player, history might have made Gregg Berhalter one of the most important players in the program’s history; it was his almost-goal against Germany in the USMNT’s 2002 World Cup quarterfinal match that was called off. To this day, no one knows why—whether it was a US goal or a German handball. The end result was the USMNT’s elimination after providing Americans with the country’s best World Cup performance in the modern era.<br></p>



<p>Known for his obsessive tactical approach to the game and his work in sports psychology, Gregg Berhalter reportedly wowed US Soccer with his vision for the program. When the 50-year-old was named as manager of the USMNT, it was met with universal disapproval by fans and pundits, and his tag as a “nepo” hire loomed large in his six years in charge.<br></p>



<h2>US Soccer Set Gregg Berhalter Up to Fail<br></h2>



<p>If Gregg Berhalter was what the program believed him to be, it might have been wise to shield him from the backlash. On paper, he was just getting his feet wet with the Columbus Crew, making an MLS Cup final after a below-average stint with Hammarby in Sweden where he posted an 18-11-17 record.<br></p>



<p>With the Crew, Berhalter also was a mixed bag of 74-70-49, making the playoffs in four of his five seasons, being runner-up in 2015. In his last season, 2018, he made it to the quarterfinals.<br></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-if-gregg-berhalter-gets-fired-who-can-coach-the-national-team" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240702_BUS_139989_GettyImages-1699438375-Futbolsites.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="While no official word has come from US Soccer regarding Gregg Berhalter’s future, fans on social media have a few names in mind.
" title="USMNT: If Gregg Berhalter gets fired, who can coach the national team?" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/usmnt-if-gregg-berhalter-gets-fired-who-can-coach-the-national-team"></div>


<p>Had Berhalter been hired as an assistant and molded by a more experienced coach, maybe for the 2026 cycle he could have taken over the team and embarked on a more polished project of making the USMNT a more attractive side than the bunker and counter-attacking team the program was known for.<br></p>



<h2>What Did Gregg Berhalter Get Right?<br></h2>



<p>While many would argue that Gregg Berhalter got nothing right, that is far from the truth. Berhalter was able to take a program that had hit rock bottom after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and lift it up on the backs of a group of young players all in their early 20s with a few European seasons under their belts to be the core of the team.<br></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-2024-salaries-25-of-the-best-players-and-what-they-earn" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240517_BUS_126551_Lionel-Messi-forward-of-Inter-Miami.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="The MLSPU released the salaries of all the teams in Major League Soccer. Here are 25 of the top players in the league and their wages.
" title="MLS 2024 Salaries: 25 of the best players and what they earn" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/mls-2024-salaries-25-of-the-best-players-and-what-they-earn"></div>


<p>Though flawed in tactics and in-game management, Berhalter empowered <strong>Christian Pulisic, Tim Weah, Tyler Adams, and Weston McKennie </strong>to be leaders on the team. Although questions have arisen about whether some of the players were or are up to that challenge.<br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/28072618/Christian-Pulisic-of-United-States-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Christian Pulisic in action for the USMNT." class="wp-image-132152" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Christian Pulisic in action for the USMNT.</figcaption></figure>



<p>While World Cup qualifying was rocky in Concacaf, especially considering his inexperienced side in the 2022 cycle, Berhalter’s team played the best three games of his six years at the 2022 World Cup, going 1-0-2 in the group, defeating Iran and drawing England and Wales.<br></p>



<p>At times, the USMNT showed fluid movement and nice combination play, but once the team played a more polished and experienced side like the Netherlands, it was all she wrote—the Dutch made short work of the USMNT in a 3-1 win in the round of 16. All in all, it was about as good as a World Cup as one could ask from a nation that four years earlier was sliding down a hole, fast.<br></p>



<p>Off the field, Berhalter and his team were able to convince various dual nationals to join the program, <strong>Antonee Robinson, Yunus Musah, Folarin Balogun, and Sergiño Dest</strong> being his best catches, many of whom had represented the US at the youth level but had viable options to play for other, more established countries.<br></p>



<p>He also got lucky as <strong>Johnny Cardoso</strong> and his family took it upon themselves to inform US Soccer of their existence. To his credit, Berhalter brought Cardoso into the fold, given the federation’s notoriously poor history at even engaging dual nationals playing in South America.<br></p>



<p>While many of the dual nationals were also in their early 20s, a critique can be made that it has become US Soccer’s crutch to just find dual nationals to fill the void left behind by a program that is struggling to produce high-level talent at the MLS and US territory level.<br></p>



<h2>What Did Gregg Berhalter Do Wrong?<br></h2>



<p>Gregg Berhalter never was able to read the room, at times in his press conferences over explaining every decision he made, from leaving Ricardo Pepi off of the World Cup roster to going into detail as to why John Brooks was not called in.<br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/28080345/Giovanni-Reyna-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Giovanni Reyna" class="wp-image-112701" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Giovanni Reyna (USA)</figcaption></figure>



<p>His biggest failure was the whole situation with Gio Reyna post-World Cup, exposing one of his most talented players, which eventually would end in personal issues from Gregg Berhalter’s past being exposed and also tarnishing the reputation of another USMNT legend Claudio Reyna in exposing the “soccer parent” aspect of US Soccer.<br></p>



<p>On the field, Berhalter’s US team never lived up to expectations of a team that played fancy and fluid soccer. Often being exposed by more talented teams, and having enormous difficulties winning on the road against Concacaf level opposition.<br></p>



<p>Gregg Berhalter’s in-game management was also questionable, often having many of his game plans blow up in his face, and many times needing come-from-behind wins in key matches.<br></p>



<p>After the 2022 World Cup, one could say Gregg Berhalter’s stock was high, reaching the round of 16, holding England to a draw and looking good doing it, and having won two Concacaf continental titles, and owning Mexico, the manager could have walked into the sunset as a manager who put US Soccer, while flawed at times, back on the map.<br></p>



<p>Instead, Gregg Berhalter stayed on after a ridiculous coaching search conducted by the federation to land back at Berhalter almost six months after he left the program. His second stint was vastly underwhelming, winning seven games, losing six, and drawing just one.<br></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/amid-fan-protest-steve-cherundolo-reportedly-local-front-runner-for-usmnt" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240709_BUS_142951_Steve-Cherundolo.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="The fans are making their voices heard, yet US Soccer, if they decide to make a change, might opt for the LAFC head coach to the anger of their fans.
" title="Amid fan protest, Steve Cherundolo reportedly local front runner for USMNT" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/amid-fan-protest-steve-cherundolo-reportedly-local-front-runner-for-usmnt"></div>


<p>Berhalter’s record against top 20 teams not named Mexico was abysmal, with highlights being draws against England, Uruguay, and Brazil being considered “milestones”.<br></p>



<h2>The Gregg Berhalter Era<br></h2>



<p>Time will eventually put Gregg Berhalter in his place as a manager who was under qualified to coach the USMNT at the time he was hired and who helped the team punch above their weight at the 2022 World Cup.<br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/28115037/Gregg-Berhalter-and-Tim-Ream-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-12029" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div></figure>



<p>Not being able to get the most out of a generation of US players playing in some of the top leagues in the world, but also having to manage those young players while many of them were non-factors at those clubs at times.<br></p>



<p>It was not a perfect road for Gregg Berhalter, but he still managed to win three championships with the USMNT, making him, along with Bruce Arena, as the program’s all-time winningest manager when it comes to titles.<br></p>



<p><strong>Gregg Berhalte</strong>r<strong>’s era can best be described as “getting back on track”, but when fans, media, and even the players themselves began to demand the team play to a much higher standard, Gregg Berhalter came up way too short.</strong></p>

USMNT: The legacy of Gregg Berhalter

<p><strong>While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america">Copa America</a> continues its course in the United States</strong>, with the participation of its national team despite the early elimination, <strong>elite soccer in the country does not stop</strong>. For <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miam</a>i</strong>, the continuity of the MLS has not been the best alternative, <strong>as they lost two of their main figures, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and Luis Suárez</strong>, who are playing the tournament with their respective national teams of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina"><strong>Argentina</strong></a> and <strong>Uruguay</strong>. This absence has also cost them the lead in the Eastern Conference, which is now held by Cincinnati with a one-point advantage.</p>



<p><strong>In the midst of other news surrounding the club</strong>, an unusual operation was confirmed on Tuesday: <strong>the sale of the first player trained at the Inter Miami Academy</strong>. This is <strong>Edison Azcona, a 20-year-old Dominican soccer player</strong>, who was on loan at Las Vegas Lights, a team in the USL (Second Division of American soccer), and <strong>whose purchase option has been exercised by the club</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>“Edison played an important role in our history through a number of milestones:</strong> he was a member of the Academy’s inaugural generation, he played in the first game in the history of an Inter Miami Academy team, he was one of our first local signings and he was our first homegrown player to play in a First Team match. We are very proud of everything he achieved with us and wish him all the best in this next phase of his career,” said Chris Henderson, the club’s sporting director.</p>



<h2>Edison Azcona: A valuable homegrown player</h2>



<p><strong>Azcona made his MLS debut at just 17 years old in 2021</strong>, in a match against Nashville, becoming the <strong>first Academy player to do so</strong>. He also made history with his country’s national team, being one of the figures of the team that qualified for the U-20 World Cup that was played last year in Argentina and where <strong>he scored the first goal of a Puerto Rican team in a World Cup, without distinction of category</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="752" height="757" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28065800/Azcona-752x757.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-143455" sizes="(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px"></figure></div><figcaption>From the official account of the social network X, Inter Miami wishes the best to Edison Azcona. <strong>Inter Miami</strong> <strong>CF.</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>“The Club would like to thank Azcona for his contributions on and off the field during his time at Inter Miami and wishes him the best in the future,” </strong>reads the statement with which Inter Miami said goodbye to him on Tuesday.</p>



<h2>Inter Miami will also have Olympic representation</h2>



<p><strong>Once Lionel Messi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez">Luis Suárez</a> return to the team</strong>, Inter Miami will see two other players leave from Gerardo Martino’s squad: <strong>Benjamín Cremaschi and Diego Gómez</strong>, called up to represent the <strong>United States</strong> and <strong>Paraguay</strong> respectively in the <strong>Olympic Games</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>As has happened throughout the Copa América</strong>, Inter Miami will be eager for <strong>Lionel Messi to win a final</strong> and expectant that there may be, <strong>if <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">Uruguay</a> also gets its ticket this Wednesday</strong>, a match for the title with <strong>double representation of the club that includes Luis Suárez</strong>.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-united" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Atlanta United</a></strong> took the term “rebuilding” and literally applied it; few <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> </strong>clubs have done such a massive clearing of the roster as the Five Stripes have done this summer, selling three of its best players and possibly looking to offload more.</p>



<p>The days of <strong>Tata Martino</strong> and that MLS Cup are long gone; the club has fallen into mediocrity, and the rebuild under Garth Lagerwey has truly begun. After meager results, the team is now looking for a head coach and preparing to embark on the summer transfer window with a lot of roster flexibility.</p>



<p>Not only that, but Atlanta United is set to earn a transfer fee from a player who left the club more than two years ago. Here are the total transfer fees that Atlanta United is set to cash in on, </p>



<h2>Atlanta United’s Wild Summer Transfer Window</h2>



<p>According to Tom Bogert, the following players have been transferred or will be transferred in the coming days:</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/thiago-almada" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thiago Almada</a> </strong>is on the verge of a significant transfer to <strong>Brazil</strong>, which is expected to pave the way for a move to Europe. According to multiple sources, Almada is likely to join Botafogo in Brazil for six months before transferring to Olympique Lyon in January 2025.</p>



<p>This move is designed to help Almada transition from <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a></strong> football before his anticipated move to Europe. Almada may have already played his final MLS game on June 30th, potentially marking his departure as one of the league’s highest-profile outgoing transfers.</p>



<p>As <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a></strong> prepares to face Ecuador in the quarterfinals on Thursday, Almada will not be part of the squad.</p>



<h2>When will Thiago Almada play for Argentina?</h2>

<p>Thiago Almada has made a name for himself as a standout performer for the Argentine U-23 team, earning a crucial role in their upcoming campaign at the Summer Olympics. His impressive form and contributions in the youth setup have solidified his position as a key player for Argentina, prompting Scaloni to prioritize his involvement in the Olympic squad over the Copa America.<br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28082217/Thiago-Almada-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-104482" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Thiago Almada</figcaption></figure>



<p>This strategic decision underscores Almada’s importance to Argentina’s youth development program and his potential impact on the international stage. While Thiago Almada will not feature in the Copa America, his focus will be squarely on representing Argentina at the Summer Olympics.</p>

<p>It’s been a long discussion in the making: who can take over from <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gregg-berhalter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gregg Berhalter</a></strong> the day he either leaves, steps down, or is fired by US Soccer? Well, that conversation is heating up as blood continues to boil within the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-national-team" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a> soccer online and media community.</p>



<p><br>Gregg Berhalter’s overall record as coach of the <strong>USMNT</strong> is 44-17-13. On paper, that’s not bad. The problem arises when you dissect it further. While Gregg Berhalter did win three continental titles with the USMNT, the biggest one, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Copa America</a>, was an utter disaster as his team struggled more and more to generate chances as the tournament progressed.<br></p>



<p>If Gregg Berhalter is indeed fired, who can step in and take over the national team? It’s a question that can be answered by some of the names currently circulating.<br></p>



<p><strong>Pellegrino Matarazzo</strong><br></p>



<p>Pellegrino Matarazzo, a New Jersey native, is currently on his third coaching job in Germany. It’s admirable for an American to have been given three chances to coach in Germany, but despite a bunker-ball style and experience in relegation fights, Pellegrino Matarazzo hasn’t really proven himself in coaching big matches at major competitions. His contract with TSG Hoffenheim, where he has a record of 20-23-9, ends in June 2025.<br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28070630/Pellegrino-Matarazzo-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-139991" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Pellegrino Matarazzo</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>David Wagner</strong><br></p>



<p>Former dual-national David Wagner has been primarily based in England. His tenure at Huddersfield Town was considered his best work, earning promotion to the Premier League. Wagner’s last coaching stint was with Norwich City, where he was sacked after failing to secure Premier League promotion. Wagner’s overall managerial record is 170-182-121.<br></p>

" title="USMNT: If Gregg Berhalter gets fired, who can coach the national team?" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/usmnt-if-gregg-berhalter-gets-fired-who-can-coach-the-national-team"></div>


<p><strong>Wilfried Nancy</strong><br></p>



<p>In just four years in MLS, Wilfried Nancy has become one of the league’s top coaches. Nancy helped turn CF Montréal around despite ownership issues, but it was with the Columbus Crew where he made his mark, particularly for his tactical acumen, a rarity in MLS. Nancy has won one Canadian Championship and one MLS Cup, and led the Crew to a CONCACAF Champions League final, defeating teams like Tigres and Monterrey.<br></p>



<p><strong>Jim Curtin</strong><br></p>



<p>The long-standing head coach of the Philadelphia Union knows the American soccer landscape inside out, having worked with many USMNT players and reaching the MLS Cup in 2022. However, Curtin has yet to translate his strong regular season performances and talent development into championships.<br></p>



<p><strong>Marcelo Gallardo</strong> (out of the park hire) <br></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121623/Marcelo-Gallardo-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-3773" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Marcelo Gallardo</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Argentine coach is currently available after parting ways with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad. It was Gallardo’s toughest stint as a manager; prior to that, he led River Plate to 14 championships and secured his first coaching title with Nacional in Uruguay. Gallardo has been named South American Manager of the Year three times (2018, 2019, 2020). </p>



<p>Why would Gallardo consider the USMNT job? His son plays for Atlanta United’s reserve team, and despite his success in South America, major European clubs have not come calling. </p>
