The US were eliminated from Copa América with a 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Monday night, a defeat that will increase pressure on coach Gregg Berhalter

with a 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Monday night, a defeat that will increase pressure on US Soccer to remove coach Gregg Berhalter before a World Cup on home soil in 2026.

Using a lineup of players entirely from European clubs, Berhalter and the US hoped to show the team had improved since their round-of-16 elimination against the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup. Instead, the US opened this year’s Copa with a 2-0 win over lowly Bolivia before being upset 2-1 by Panama.

“We should’ve done better,” Berhalter said after the game. “We’ll do a review and figure out what went wrong and why it went wrong but it’s an empty feeling right now for sure.”for the second half of their first two games. Diego Reyes and Pablo Quiroga were in charge for Uruguay on a mild but humid night in Kansas City.
