USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter makes his best pitch

Posted Dec 3, 2022
Gregg Berhalter and the United States will face the Netherlands on Saturday in the World Cup round-of-16 match, putting them a step away from the quarterfinals. It will be an interesting career twist for Berhalter. Berhalter felt like a student when he signed with the Dutch club Zwolle 28 years ago after playing for the University of North Carolina.
