Gregg Berhalter’s seat got a little cooler as his United States men’s national team earned a respectable 1-1 draw vs. Brazil on Wednesday in a friendly ahead of this summer’s Copa América.

The USMNT licked their wounds from the Colombia battering that saw them lose 5-1 on Saturday in Berhalter’s worst loss in charge of the national team.

The United States will not change course in Wednesday's friendly against Brazil, head coach Gregg Berhalter said, despite a 5-1 mauling by Colombia in their Copa America warm-up last weekend.

Colombia scored three times in 11 second-half minutes to hand the U.S. team a thrashing on Saturday in Landover, Maryland, prompting alarm among the home fans.

Gregg Berhalter’s United States men’s national team received a wake-up call on Saturday with a pathetic 5-1 defeat to Colombia in a friendly. If the USMNT play like this in Copa América this summer, it could be a very short tournament.

The USMNT were simply outclassed against a South American side that entered the game on a 21-game unbeaten streak stretching back to February 2022. The opening 20 minutes illustrated the gulf in class between the two sides as Colombia had their way with the Americans.

United States' Sergino Dest will miss the Copa America after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), with the defender confirming he will undergo surgery soon.

Dest, who has spent this season on loan at PSV Eindhoven from Barcelona, suffered the injury late last month while training with the Dutch club.
