#253: Herdman’s secret plans & Berhalter’s last interview

Greg and Belz got a pretty detailed look into Canada's tactical approach from a couple of private video presentations conducted by John Herdman, which were leaked to us. We talk through those and try to relate them to the USMNT, and then talk through Gregg Berhalter's latest interview with Bobby Warshaw for U.S. Soccer's house podcast.

• 0:30 intro, background and the basics of Herdman's ideas
• 14:30 Canada's approach to each of the 4 phases of the game
• 26:30 tallying up "advance platforms" as a way to measure on-field success
• 44:25 Berhalter's latest Warshaw interview
• 55:30 Pulisic's benching

CORRECTION: Earnie Stewart's compensation for 2020 was, according to Soccer America, $825,720. On the pod Belz said "$865,000" which is incorrect.
