The 2024 Copa America served delivered a black eye to hosts, the United States, both on and off the pitch. An underwhelming group stage exit has left a void for the head coaching role, while the coordination of the tournament with CONMEBOL has raised eyebrows about facilities and security for the future. Or has it? To sift through the smoke and substance, we caught up with Seth Vertelney, managing editor of Pro Soccer Wire:

• Nii Wallace-Bruce chatted with Seth Vertelney about the Copa America tournament, particularly the performance of the United States.
• Seth gave his view on the direction that US Soccer should take with the next head coach.

• Finally, with the Olympic competition starting this week, Seth gave some insights into how the US men's and women's team might fare in France.
