In the words of DJ Khaled … “Another one.”

The United States men’s national soccer team have now won back-to-back CONCACAF Nations League championships after taking out Canada in the final Sunday night, 2-0.

Leading the way for the U.S. with a goal each were Chris Richards (12′) and Folarin Balogun (34′), who recently committed to America’s soccer program from England.

Despite Canada dominating possession 64%-36%, the United States managed to get more shots on goal (15-12), eventually getting the victory in what was a tight contest throughout.

Mexico won the third-place game over Panama, 1-0.

What a fine-tuned machine the United States was throughout this competition.

Yeah, I get that the quality of talent that we played isn’t anywhere close to the level of a France or Argentina, but the U.S. rolled. It was impressive to watch, which leads me to a question that I can’t help but ask while we swim in this glory: are we sure we want to hand back over the keys to Gregg Berhalter?

I understand that he helped lead the U.S. to the 2021 CONCACAF Nations League championship, but I personally feel like this team is better without Berhalter involved. We didn’t roll in 2021 like we did here in 2023, so I’m just saying … it’s something to think about. And more importantly, do we really want to throw this toxicity back into our program?

I’m not trying to rain on our parade, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about our future — our golden generation — under the guidance of Berhalter.

But regardless, it feels good to add another trophy to the case.

USA! USA! USA!
