The second Gregg Berhalter era is officially underway. Well, technically, it got underway this summer when U.S. Soccer confirmed the head coach would return for a second cycle. However, after missing out on the summer tournaments, he is officially taking over for his first camp back in charge. This is our first look at Berhalter Ball 2.0.
