I'm no soccer tactician but with the way Mexico looked to be pressing, it looked like Berhalter is forcing a system that the US talent cannot execute.

it'd be like a NFL coach who wants to run the football, but his OL is overmatched and he doesn't have great running backs, but he keeps calling runs that go 2 yards. and defenses just put 9 in the box because they aren't threatened by anything else (high press).
