--- Quote from: Boston always unofficial on January 4, 2023, 07:23:48 pm ---Weird story coming out of the USMNT camp.https://www.espn.com/soccer/united-states-usa/story/4844539/reynas-told-us-soccer-about-past-gregg-berhalter-domestic-violence-incident-sources. Dunno what to make of it was Reyna not getting games because of it or were the parents trying to get him into the team by blackmail? Berhalter is out of contract at the moment as well.It's like a soap opera!
--- End quote ---
This is insane. The Reynas bringing up something to US Soccer from 30 years ago that was resolved between the Berhalters because they're mad about Berhalter's comments on Gio? The Berhalters and Reynas have been family friends for decades. Throwing all that way for this?
elsewhere:
I think it looks bad on both sides, if I was in charge, I'd get rid of the coach (not just this domestic violence incident but he has erratic methods such as asking all USMNT to stand up one by one and tell Gio he's not good enough for the team, in the dressing room).
But Gio seems to be a crybaby though, there has to be a reason his teammates don't like him that much.
Boston always unofficial:
Berhalter might not get a new contract cos he's not a particularly good coach but kicking his then girlfriend decades ago at uni, who he later married should have no impact on it.
spartan2785:
Yeah Berhalter should probably go, but it's certainly not for something that happened 30 years ago and revealed by something that is the most classic case of "soccer parents" being upset with the coach and trying to get him fired.
He's not a good manager, doesn't adapt well when plan A doesn't work out, doesn't get the best out of his players, and is way too loyal to MLS based players. It's criminal that he would put out guys like Shaq Moore over Joe Scally or not using Jordan Pefok over Ferreira or Wright.

FIFA Will Announce Expansion to 2026 North American World Cup, With 24 Extra Games.
***
Basically 12 groups of 4, top 2 + 8 best 3rd place teams into knock out round of 32.
So basically all the drama that we had in the group stages gone. That evening when Costa Rica and Japan looked like they were getting in ahead of Germany and Spain? Not going to happen next time, when all the good sides will need is a decent win and they'll be safe for the knock outs. Thanks a lot Gianni. you useless scrotum of a human.
