But outside of the players, Twellman won't call him out by name and criticize him. It's a long-standing issue with both the ESPN and FOX crews that cover USMNT. Even that blowhard asshat Lalas does the same thing. They love throwing out criticisms of the 'program' but never seem to go after the hierarchy directly. They don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.

I spent an hour listening to XM FC yesterday and Tony spent the whole time shitting on Berhalter and everyone above him. Naming names.

I see what you mean, they never say Ernie or other Berhalter

Although I imagine Ernie Stewart and other Berhalter would have enough push to tell ESPN to get a different announcer for the USMNT games. Yes, that's corrupt shit, but "Hey! It's the USSF"
