Sebastian and Gregg Berhalter just added their names to World Cup history | OneFootball

What US fans just witnessed during the USMNT World Cup debut against Paraguay is admirable. It isn’t that easy to score so many goals against a solid nation like the Albirroja.

Nevertheless, this encounter proved wrong to many people and has put a spotlight on this team.

There are three major takeaways about USMNT'S victory, but the important thing is that Mauricio Pochettino built a balanced and aggressive team, capable of going far in the tournament.

Despite the excitement, many records have been extended, while others have been broken. The name Berhalter made history the other night.

Sebastian Berhalter and his father, Gregg, added another chapter to the following record

With his appearance against Paraguay, Sebastian Berhalter and his father Gregg became the 24th father-son duo to play in FIFA World Cup history, and the second for the United States, joining Claudio and Gio Reyna.

Sebastian Berhalter was subbed in the match for the start of the second half, after Pochettino took out Pulisic to prevent any risk of injury. With a solid but unnoticed match, Berhalter had a tough mission: replace the USMNT's best player and perform better.

That was not the case, but the introduction of the Vancouver Whitecaps prospect gave a different air to the rest of the team, and allowed Adams and McKennie to rest on the mark for a while.

Gregg Berhalter participated in two World Cups: South Korea-Japan 2002 and Germany 2006. In 2002, the USMNT reached the quarterfinals, marking a historic run for the team. However, in 2006, they failed to advance beyond the group stage.

This time, his son Sebastian will try to beat his father’s place with the “US Golden Generation”. To be honest, Pochettino started on the right foot; the only thing he has to do is continue on this same path, and the USMNT squad will get far.
