USMNT Coach Berhalter Criticizes Dest's Red Card as "Dumb Mistake"

USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter criticizes Sergiño Dest for his "dumb mistake" of receiving a red card in the team's 2-1 loss to Trinidad and Tobago. Despite the defeat, the United States qualified for the 2024 Copa America. Dest's red card, which came after he punted the ball into the stands and argued with the referee, was described as one of the most inexplicable in U.S. national team history. This is Dest's second red card this year, making him the first U.S. player since 1990 to receive two red cards in the same calendar year. He will be unavailable for the Nations League semifinals in March.
