This is embarrassing. This is stuff you’d see in some youth team in the suburbs.
Well said.
Exactly
It basically is. Jersey Shore F.C.
Gregg started it, the Reyna’s finished it with a mic drop. Truly hilarious
The team will be fine moving forward. More talent will come in, MLS scrubs will be washed out and hopefully the USSF hires an actual experienced coach who knows tactics instead of relying on “athleticism”
Berhalter played a youth team strategy against the Netherlands 🤨💁🏽♂️🔥
This is just symptoms of the underlying problems of the USMNT. The coach is hired by his brother. The coach doesn't want to play his friend's son. The mother of the player then tells an executive about a situation between the coach and his wife? Can we please run this professionally and get a foreign coach please?
US Soccer should have fired Berhalter after the Netherlands match go with a caretaker for a year and then get serious and hire a top manager from Europe or South America.
Hit the nail on the head. The executive is also a friend in this situation. The federation shouldn't be a family business.
Clean out all the trash and bring in a coach from France.
I would bring in Luiz Felipe Scolari. Minus the Brazilian 7-1 thrashing, he’s been a good international coach. Champion with Brazil, Led Portugal to a Euro Final and Final 4 in the 06 World Cup and Final 4 in the 2014 World Cup
The idea of a foreign coach confuses me. Because they're going to come in with fully realistic expectations of where the program is and where it needs to go. And then have to deal with the most delusional fan base in international football. It will be Klinsmann all over again.
Boy…. this escalated quickly.
And we thought French team and Belgium team are full of divas and controversy
At least they have world class players, all this fuss of over a good player but not what they think he is, had he played more nothing would have been diff
@@pastilla01234 arguable Reyna is USA'S most talented player it's possible he could have made a decision. Guarantee if Pulisic was injured and USA didn't make it out of the group people would be saying that pulisic wouldn't have gotten them out of it.
@@rlubin9356 you think if Gio played US would made it pass Holland? I don’t think so
@@Rain188 probably not but I don't think it's too wild to think that if Reyna started against England and Wales we could have had 9 points. USA'S biggest problem during the world cup was a lack of creativity Reyna would have provided that. If Reyna started against Wales and England im sure he would have created some chances that could have led to goals. This would have led to us playing Senegal instead.
Those are worse.
Man the ESPN 30 For 30 on this is gonna be wild 😂
Trying to intimidate the coach for a 35 year old allegation... Reynas have some personality problem
They weren't trying to intimidate him. They wer retaliating over Gregg's unprofessional behavior of publicly airing the teams locker room dirty laundry.
STFU Chris you Reyna burner account. Mong
@@chriskay1449 Greg never named names…plus gio apologized for his behavior so nice try…is this Cladio? Lol
@@chriskay1449 they tried to run the story during the WC to get him to play their son
@@Lordgorbon he didn’t have to say names lol we all knew who he was talking about. Everyone wanted to know why Gio didn’t play. Obviously they all were not as close of friends as we like to think they were.
So, to be clear, let me recap just so I understand what’s going on:
Gio is made a squad player by Gregg due to his attitude and his place in the pecking order of the team
Gregg makes it known to the public
Gio’s mother, apparently angered by this, decides to drag up an incident over 3 decades ago involving Gregg, purely for the purpose of ruining his PR
She’s known what’s happened for a long time, and chooses to expose it now simply because her son doesn’t start for the US? Not a single word until Gio was told that he would have a limited role?
Is this not blackmail?
If "silence is violence' this lady is pretty violent no?
Nope. You only got the first one right.
Gregg didn't make it public until AFTER the World Cup at a leadership conference and insults Reyna by calling him an "immature kid".
She responds by pointing out his own immature behavior at that age.
It had NOTHING to do with Gio not starting or being told he had a limited role. It had to do with Gregg being an idiot and publicly outing Rayna AFTER the WC when he told the players during the World Cup" This will all be kept in house". She did it because Berhalter betrayed the locker rooms trust that it would be kept behind closed doors and then insulting Reyna to boot ruining REYNA's reputation.
Gio's attitude only happened after being made a squad player, not before. Secondly, she only brought it up as retaliation for GGG's comments, not as leverage to play him at the WC which has already passed. It's not blackmail though still wrong.
@@megamonster1234 This. She brought it up to point out his hypocrisy in calling Gio "an immature kid".
Well said .
Good job Mr and Mrs Reyna first this answers the question regarding your sons immature response to being benched, it was taught at home. You also managed to dead end your husbands career, as no one will hire a snitch, especially one who betrays a friend and teammate. This is on par with the Harkes incident. Not to mention that if your son manages to ever wear the USA jersey again, this will always be the lead story. Nice work, way to think it thru.
What happened with John Harkes?
When your operation is a raging cesspool of nepotism these are the results…the fact that a players mom is so close to the coach she could pull this tells your EVERYTHING u need to know about US Soccer…
Bernhalters decision to expose a player when it was supposed to be behind close doors would have pissed me off too as a parent and I think it disqualifies him as coach but the Lion share of what you are seeing here is nepotism run amok
Well said. Let’s get all the drama queens out of US soccer. Focus on the hard working guys. Adams is a good story. Other guys too. Let’s celebrate them.
Yep but this scandal has made his position untenable in this Metoo era.
So the problem isn't that Berhalter is an abuser? Should everyone just stay silent about domestic abuse? Why do you want people to remain silent about domestic abuse???🤔🤔🤔
It was embarrassing enough Christian Pulisic's father sticking his nose in his son's career, but this is a whole new level. American soccer dads 😂😂
It was the mom and she had a decent reason ya dingbat. All of this stems from the federation hiring family and friends instead of deserving candidates.
The kid too. He’s come out and publicly blasted USA coach
The reynas mom and dada 🙄
Unfortunately it's the new generation of American parents in general
@@jazziepha206 look 👀 at all the toxic fans 👈🙄. Trust me I had many encounters with parents 👈🙄
Considering the families were close, the feelings must have really ran deep for these really vindictive moves
Facts. You can't trust anyone with your personal business these at all not even blood family. Everyone is treacherous nowadays.
This shows nepotism has helped Gio quite a bit. When Gio didn't get his way Mommy stepped in, may mommy needs to wake and see her son is not Ronaldo nor Messi Gio is just one more player who got a chance BC of Mom & Dad. Gio's career is basically over just like many others
@@alextafoya3053 Helped him how? Do you watch him play for Dortmund? He's a better footballer than everyone on USMNT except Pulisic, at 20 years old. His mom was wrong for that BS, but let's not alter reality.
@@Mad_Intalect I'm sure that he The Best player there is. I have seen 100s of Very good players who Never got a chance BC they had no connections. In some cases Good is not Good enough. If he didn't need mommy & daddy why are they involved? let him stand on his own 2 feet just like Many others. Maybe they've no Faith in his talent
@@alextafoya3053 - you are slightly uninformed on Gio’s ability. I don’t say this to defend the actions of his parents, but he didn’t do it, they did. And as far as nepotism, there is a more glaring example that you are missing.
The sense of entitlement from these American parents is wild - you have Pulisic's father demanding his son play via twitter and now the ultimate soccer mom energy with the Reyna's 😭
Demanding? I recall him venting some frustration but nothing about him being demanding.
Reminds me of mbappe or Neymar's parents
Sad Eurotrash. No, he didn't demand. Then there are the PSG family members have "fun" last year that puts your whining about the US to shame.
@@seanm3463 Remind me again when they plotted and blackmailed their national managers 🤣
@@seanm3463 where they get this entitlement is beyond me. Surely they must know that their sons aren’t Messi or Ronaldo
So basically he wanted his son to get exposure in the WC before the big transfer window. Gio was expected to be one of the young stars of the tournament along with guys like Gakpo, Musiala, Bellingham etc. But that didn't happen so Gio is going to have to wait a little bit for that big payday. Reyna decided to use this as revenge. There are no legal repercussion from revealing the DV incident from 30 years ago so this was literally all about ruining Gregg's PR.
This is going to backfire big time on him and his son. Just goes to show, anger makes people stupid.
Please. Gregg started everything by basically outing Gio when he gave a speech to a group of people and referred to locker room stuff he said would stay in house.He broke that trust by running his mouth in that speech. Gregg has done enough as manager to ruin his own PR. You don't do what he did. He should not be allowed to continue coaching the USMNT anymore.
They're upset that Berhalter ruined Reyna's reputation; that he showed no forgiveness -- and failed to move on -- from Reyna's admitted failings, when he himself expects people to forgive and move on from his own failures at that age. Berhalter is a hypocrite and a poor leader.
@@chriskay1449 Well, CLaudio's reaction sort of explains a lot about Gio’s diva mentality. Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Gregg never mentioned Gio by name but it didn't matter because it would've come out anyways. The media would've never stopped pressing him about Gio. What was he supposed to say?
"I benched a star player for no reason"
Come on. We wouldn't believe that anyways.
I didn't like it either but in hindsight, its better this way. Coaches bench players all the time because of poor attitude in training. Its a valid reason and its better to just say it instead of letting everyone come up with crazy conspiracies.
It was such childish behavior. As an American I am embarrassed by these people and how they conducted themselves as embassadors of the sport. The worst part is this will probably end up hurting his son more than anyone. Future coaches may have reservations about bringing in a player who creates so much drama.
I look at it this way Gregg decided to trash Gio after the WC so the Reyna's were upset and said basically that Gregg was doing much worse at his age. This is on the parents what they did was wrong but Gregg was also wrong. And from previous behavior I also think Gregg is lying about certain aspects nowhere has any black mail been shown they told Stewart about what he did. They didn't make a public statement they were just mad that their child was being dragged by a trusted family friend and in the end this is all comes down to the fact that the federation needs retooled no more hiring friends and brothers and let's be more professional
All of the Reyna's should be ashamed of themselves. Gee, I wonder where Gio Reyna got his bad attitude and sense of entitlement from? 🤔
Gio Reyna's mother has said that she told US soccer about Berhalters previous domestic violence incident because she was frustrated by comments made about her son following the team's elimination from the 2022 World Cup.
So basically him committing alleged domestic violence is OK for her as long as her son is in the US head coaches good books.
So the main thing I take from all this is that Mrs Reyna appears to be a really horrible individual.
What? 😂😂😂😂 How did you come up with that conclusion?
If you input the recent "silence is violence" bs into the equation D. Renya is a super violent person for not reporting a crime that happened 30 years ago to her "best friend". What an awesome family, I hope Austin FC know what a douche they have in their leadership.
So is Gregg Berhalter. Why do you throw your best friend's son under the bus. You made his mother angry, and the result is predictable.
What a really bad take even if you disagree with Danielle Reyna. The mistake she made here wasn't her keeping a secret back in 1991. The mistake she made was telling people when she likely did not get the clear from Rosalind who is the only one who has a right to tell this story as the victim. Danielle obviously didn't think the DV was okay when it happened but it's obvious that Rosalind didn't want her to report it. It happened 31-32 years ago and is long in the past.
Danielle's point was asking why GGG got to be forgiven for a worse transgression and allowed to keep it private when her son at a similar age did nothing that severe but had his name dragged through the mud by the very same person. I understand the point she was making but the real violation here was Rosalind's trust. That does not mean however that she thought DV was "OK for her as long as her son is in the US head coaches good books." That's just an insanely bad faith take that not even pro GGG people have said, at least before I read this comment.
@@megamonster1234 They thing that triggered her releasing this information was because Gio was dropped from the team.
She clearly used this situation to try and help her son .It's completely self serving to use alleged domestic violence for her sons benefit.
It is 100% reaonable to assume that had Gio played all the games and been on good terms with Berhalter that she wouldn't have released this information.
Bravo to you, Taylor Twellman. Could not have said it better myself.
How to nuke your kid's national team career 101
i dont think this is restricted to national team career alone lol
I don't think so honoustly, Berhalter will be gone sooner or later and Reyna will be called up still
@@matttyce903 look at France and Benzema, it was never the same
@@sonsofstretford3866 You should think harder then. You're being ridiculous...
@@corneliuspraeda6452 I’m doing just fine thank you 🙏🏼
“We’re talking about what?” Is the new “What are we doing.,.”
We talking about Gio. Not the game. We talking about Gio.
We are talking about a player trying to blackmail the coach , not sure why the guy was so afraid to say that.
This is what happens when you mix family and business. It’s a tale as old as time and this all falls on the shoulders of US Soccer.
If I'm a team Reyna would be toxic to me. If I bench him would his parents try to hire a PI to dig up dirt on me?
*Quite shady! Not sure what Claudia & Danielle Reyna are up to? He has failed us here in New York 🗽 at NYCFC. The sheer NEPOTISM and ENTITLEMENT that is happening is unreal. 32-year-old accusations is absolutely ridiculous! Claudia, coach your own team and then you can hire your son just like the Bradleys.*
Berhalter is also a nepotism hire so what are we talking about. Greg is not a good coach that’s the reason he should be fire not some old allegations. Claudio did fail in NYCFC but so far doing a great job in Austin FC probably over achieving. Also I’m not going to blame Gio Because his parents mostly his mom decided to be spiteful. Also from an on field perspective why would you not play one of your best players with the most amount of promise if he apologized and everything was okay.
THe accusations were only to highlight Berhalter's hypocrisy and to retaliate for Berhalter publicly airing the locker room dirty laundry when he promised the entire team it would be kept in house and insulted Reyna with name calling in doing so.
The World Is watching...and laughing.
no they aren't. Not even America is watching. The only people that know about this is U.S. Soccer fans, and there isn't that many of us relatively speaking
Gio Reyna is not relevant in the football world
Soy de Argentina y vine a ver el problema del que todos están hablando, osea el problema con Gio Reyna
Wow, mommy Reyna had to throw the coach under the bus so baby Geo could get more play time. Sounds like US Youth Club Soccer. Not saying GGG should stay necessarily just don't like this being the reason. If he is to be fired because we have / need someone better, so be it. But this is 31 years ago when he was 18. They are married with 4 kids. Just seems like it's impossible for anyone to have a past and be redeemed. She waited 31 years....such urgency to report physical abuse
She didn’t report - she discussed it with someone who had to report it. She has too much access.
Thanks mom, lots of coaches want me on their team now.
Twellman is the GOAT when it comes to common sense with the USMNT
This is farcical no matter how you interpret who did what. What a joke on the Reyna's part
People have to be pretty darn stupid for somehow drawing parallels between Gregg’s comments about Reyna’s role on the field to his parents coming out with personal incidents that could ruin his career.
I’m not a Gregg fan but that was low by the Reyna’s. And on top of that she doubles down on it and says “oh it was worse than he made it sound”.
Absolute scumbag behavior.
Taylor you should probably ask Jeremy why they are talking about this since he brought it up and asked you to comment.
Mrs Reyna says she protecting Gio from being dragged through the mud. But now she dragging the Berhalter kids into the mud by exposing bad info that the kids never knew existed between their parents. What I’m saying they’re other ways of handling this and I’m sure the Reyna’s probably regret how this is playing out. Gio it’s time to grow up some and talk to your parents, that I’m a young man now and it’s a life lesson how I acted in Qatar and move on..
She should be ashamed as a mother to expose kids to that past life
@@garthelliott4625 do the crime you deal with it, usmt should be ashamed for hiring him
@@deadghost7584 dude, STFU. Gio's name is mud now because nobody will want to risk some kid who has a helicopter soccer mom and dad.
@@eboethrasher Hey EHoe, go f yourself. Gio will be fine, woman beating coaches got no place on the US team
Gio's mom knew exactly what she was doing by referencing an incident while Berhalter was a freshman at college, which the police never got involved in. To stoop that low as revenge for your son not playing as much as you wanted is vindictive.
Gregg treating Gio the way he did because Gio's dad didn't take Gregg's son on his MLS youth team is pretty vindictive too.
@@ZebraKatzWhereItsAt He didn't mention his name, and he said them at a private conference, not thinking it would get out like it did. Regardless, Gio is a little entitled diva and now we see where he got it from.
@@eboethrasher both gio and gregg are entitled... 99.9% of US Soccer comes from entitlement and money and connections and nepotism. Pretty clear for everyone to see.
Berhalter’s situation happened 30+ years ago. The idea that he’s under fire for a college incident is ridiculous. This shouldn’t even be in the press.
Honestly. Thank you TT!
It's a sad moment in professional sports.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gio is effectively blacklisted from the USMNT because of his and his parents' behavior regarding all of this. Gio's immaturity at the World Cup, and his parents' apparent willingness to engage in blackmail just to get payback on a coach that made a roster decision they didn't agree with. That sounds far too toxic to my ears. USSoccer would do well to avoid the Reyna family at all costs going forward, and refuse to touch Gio with even a ten-foot pole. To me, the Reynas come out of this looking far worse than Gregg Berhalter.
As long as Reyna isn't a terrible teammate which is a possibility, he will have a role with national team. He's young and if not the, one of the most talented players so he'll get a second chance. And it'd be a bigger scandal to ban him. If Adrian rabiot can play for France again then gio should be fine as long as he remains humble.
Taylor nails this.
This happened 30 years ago. It was dealt with.
Basically, Reyna’s have smeared Berholter in vengeance for a perceived slight. Was Berhalter unwise in sharing info at the coaching clinic? Yes. And I css as n see the Reyna’s anger. It felt unfair. But … wow …
Just waiting for the Alexi Lalas weigh-in. Not sure how that will go but I think he will issue a simular statement that Twellman made.
And ESPN just let go Taylor Twellman?!
WHAT ARE WE DOING?!?!
Wow this take entitlement to a whole new level
The next US coach ain’t gonna touch Gio, he’ll be afraid of not playing Gio cuz of the BS that comes with Gio.
And the prospective teams which have Gio on the radar. Which team wants to endure the drama? Perhaps PSG, but at this point, Gio is not Mbappe
No , the next coach will be fine as long as the federation isn't stupid by hiring friends and family. Too much nepotism.
Then he’s a moron. USMNT can’t afford to leave Reyna out. They haven’t got the pickings that countries like France have. They must put build the team around him
Can we not honestly say that in his minutes (limited as they were) Gio was irrelevant on the field? He didn't look sharp at all.
Who needs enemies with friends like Claudio Reyna..pathetic.
Pfft and I guess Berhalter covered himself in glory throwing Gio under the bus after the whole affair was dead and buried? Oh oh, wait, I forgot, Gregg "was told it was off-the-record". They told Gregg the 100 or so people assembled in the conference pinky-swore they wouldn't repeat it. Suuuure....
*Quite shady! Not sure what Claudia & Danielle Reyna are up to? He has failed us here in New York 🗽 at NYCFC.

He's out of contract- no longer employed. Done. We should be putting our energy in finding a quality manager to be the next.
Reyna doesn't play USMNT ever again
Tata Martino, Herve Renard or one of the Dutch Coaches.
Without Reyna. Screw that family.
@@darwinLee81283 Reyna will still be there. Beerholder is gone
@@yddubbud8229 I don't really care for GGG myself However. He should have just Sent Reyna home on a 1 way ticket and all of this would have Been Avoided
Well done Taylor, well done!!
Can someone who has professional soccer experience explain to me why Gio who starts for one of the best soccer clubs in the world would be told that his World Cup playing time would be limited? Is this the reason the US doesn’t place well? Would this ever happen in Spain or Argentina?
Exactly if he starts for a champions league team he should be able to start for usmnt it makes no sense why he wouldn’t
because as you can see he and his family are complete douchebags and toxic, attitude and chemistry with the team is also important not just your skill level.
And you know this doesn’t happen elsewhere how?
@@aaarauz1 because USA is the only football country that is run by nepotism, how it is that a coach and the player involved in this drama are from two long family friends, everyone in the higher ups of USA management is there because of friends and family, and even the talent pool is selected based on nepotism and favoritism toward rich families, that is no way to run a football team.
Especially when you look at the best players from South America most of them come from poor families, not rich daddy's money like all American players.
Everyone is missing the bigger picture. And that is this. Credit to Tactical Manager for also pointing this out on his show, this is exhibit A of what a crony, nepotistic club of friends/former players running USF and coaching the USMNT looks like. They’re all friends, and this person got hired because they’re friends with and played with this other person, and there are no professional boundaries, or lines of conduct. If USF were a truly professional organization with a vetted professional head coach, that knew how to handle egos, none of this happens, or is at a minimum extremely minimized.
Great comment
Thank you Taylor. YOU ARE RIGHT ALL THE WAY! This was 31 years ago for God;s sake! And the Cause is Gio's playing time?!? Get a grip Reyna's As Taylor said. This is Sad.....
This does reek of entitlement, being spoiled, nepotism, privilege, and self-centeredness. All the things that kind of represent the issues with the USSF.
*Quite shady! Not sure what Claudia Reyna is up to? He has failed us here in New York 🗽 at NYCFC. The sheer NEPOTISM and ENTITLEMENT that is happening is unreal. 32-year-old accusations is absolutely ridiculous! Claudia, coach your own team and then you can hire your son just like the Bradleys.*
Imagine trying to destroy a fellow countryman bc he had a scuffle with his wife like 30 years ago hahaha..Reyna clan acting like trash
I never really liked this Reyna kid plus his dad cost us the World Cup 2006
The soap opera that is US soccer continues, how embarrassing no wonder no one takes it seriously outside the US
At least France wins things, but to have this mess with the US is shameful. It's like the Reynas never let their kid grow up and learn to deal with disappointments. That's why he almost got sent home! I'm sure dirt from all our lives can be dug up, but this is the worst. Best friends? Not anymore. I don't even want Reyna on the squad anymore. For what? If there is a better player, mommy and daddy are going to open up your closet to shame you to play baby boy!
This is absolutely nuts.
Multiple things can be true at the same time.... This is why communication is so important, If only adults would behave like adults
or if mommy wouldn't cry b/c her son wasn't good enough to play.
This seems so surreal. 😬
I’m with Taylor twellman on this
Kinda petty when you think about it.
Kinda?🤣
domestic abuse is petty?
@@yddubbud8229 I think Gregg Berhalter has learned from that incident. It's been sooo long and to bring that up because your son didn't play much is indeed petty.
Maybe this goes deeper, after all Berhalter’s son played under Claudio Reyna at Austin Fc
Thank you Taylor for speaking common sense.
Who is sending dirty laundry first? Gio's mother talked to USFF on Dec 11 or Gregg Berhalter thrown Gio under the bus on about the same time. If you are my best friend, you don't throw my son under the bus, or report the incident that happen 30 years ago.
How did GGG throw Reyna under bus?
They all acted like little kids.
Gio and his family are petty 😂 he’s missing the next World Cup because of this.
NO he isn't. Berhalter was the one who was petty by outing Rayna at the leadership conference. The only one missing the next WC is Berhalter. He is done as US coach.
@@chriskay1449 How TF after all this Info is Spewing out can you at any point be on the side of anyone Named Reyna.
Delusion bro
@@chriskay1449 His family was threatening outing GGG BEFORE any Leadership Conference.
The Attitude during training.
Nearly getting Kicked off the team
Abysmal Play on Field
outing the coach after he covered for you
But it's GGG Fault. Lol. Delusion
More like GREG isn't gonna be there, nor should he be. What a disaster this coach is
@@leahl7352 Sounds like Reyna is the Catalyst here
Well said taylor
GIO need to tell his ma to chill. she pulling the ultimate Karen move
Timeline as far as I have been able to figure out.
Pre WC Greg told Gio about limited role.
Gio throws a tantrum by showing little effort in practice and not celebrating with team.
Discrepancies between gio and greg's statements about reasons for gio's limited hours/fitness and possible coercion to lie in statement.
Rift grows as alluded to in Gregs later statement about possibly sending Gio home.
WC over
Greg attends event where he says that statement about barely voting to let Gio stay at the WC.
Gio puts out a statement apologizing for tantrum but explaining why with that limited role and defending his character.
This is when Claudio/Danielle allegedly bring up this past conflict between the berhalters.
Greg & US soccer makes co statements and today we hear from Claudio/Danielle as the ones who brought up this past incident.
Being a youth coach for many years I would think that, at the national level, the couch would have more important things to worry about than having to deal with soccer parents.
Daniella and Claudio should be ashamed. Terrible and vindictive behavior. Wonder how much their son knew about this, I’d never play him in a team again.
Reyna's AKA TOXIC
Stewart is the works for US Soccer, so he was obligated to report it once he knew. Reyna knew what is was doing.
What a Reality Show🤣🤣🤣
We don't get these problems with players parents in the U.K. We have many issues with our game but pushy self entitled parents are not one of them. They would be too scared of the head coach to undermine them. Would these parents have tried this with Antonio Conte?
Whether he’s commenting on a game or doing an interview, it seems that Taylor Twellman is always yelling at me😢
It is so gross that Roz Berhalter has to relive the trauma of 30 years ago and now in the public light. Shame on the Reynas for embarrassing Roz publicly out of sheer vindictiveness. The whole family is disgusting.
Severe disconnect on the part of the Reynas. Since how does expressing their frustrations lead into a conversation of domestic/ date violence? Also, what did they think was going to happen with this information? this was supposed to be informational only? B.S. This was meant to hurt GB. Gio needs to take charge of his helicopter parents and tell them to back off. Also, did Gio know? Was he cool with this?
Always keep your head on a swivel. Especially concerning 'friends'
All of this is just drama, whatever comes of it the only real question is should Greg be USMNT coach? And for me, the answer is no. And it has nothing to do with his personal life or past events. I don't think he can win the World Cup with the USMNT, or frankly, even with France or Argentina, if he has lost the trust of players.
*This is wrong on so many levels. Yes, what Gregg did was not right, BUT THAT WAS OVER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO! Let's not act like we're all saints and don't have skeletons in our closet that we're ashamed of and regret.*
Berhalter must go. His player selection was poor, favoring mediocre MLS players that were not up to the challenge over more capable European based players. Most MLS players failed miserably during the WC including one that were brought into the field before Reyna. Berhalter also tends to let personal matters interfere with player selection. And finally he was schooled by the Dutch coach. Berhalter has no business continuing with USMNT. I much rather see Reyna continue than Berhalter.
*As if starting his son would make the US win the World Cup. Pathetic.*
Some folks are saying it happened 3 decades ago. The 1957 Jerry Jones photo was how long ago? 🤔
I do not endorse blackmailing, it is just wrong.
Danielle Reyna is a first ballot Hall of Fame soccer mom.
GB never should've been hired, and anyone else would've been fired already.
We don't need to hear any response from TT.
Well said Taylor
I also love how everyone is speaking on this but not calling out the nepotism of this federation. Comedy.
What a mess.
While I can understand where the Reyna parents are coming from (doesn't sound like blackmail), I don't think it's a parent's place to go around their adult-son on his behalf. I get they know each other, but Gio is an adult and should be able to handle this how he wants IMO.
Enlighten…I don’t get what the objective was if not the get Greg fired. They released the information to his bosses, if they were frustrated, they could have vented on twitter, to their friend, to literally anybody else but Greg’s bosses at US soccer
@@oxdhaoxt3694 Yeah that's what makes this so damaging for everyone. It's possible that Danielle Reyna didn't realize that US Soccer would have to do an investigation after the allegation was made. Perhaps she thought because it was 30 years ago and they all go way back, it wouldn't be handled in a official capacity. Either way, hard to see US Soccer retaining Berhalter as head coach going forward. If Gio Reyna keeps progressing, he'll likely make the 2026 WC roster regardless of this.
What this shows is the problem of cronyism all through US soccer federation. It is not run by professionals but by a bunch of entitled soccer buddies.
What we need to know is why Burtthurter telling this kid why he is having a limitied row...
Anyone saying GB should be coach because he got to round of 16? That's a minimum. It's not a threshold for job retention. Burkhalter made so many bad moves in qualification and the World Cup. The team did what they did in spite of him and not because of him. In fact, the prevailing opinion is that his tactics was the reason for the failure to advance further. So, there's already plenty of reason to move on. You don't even have to go back to thirty years ago to an off-field event which people can debate whether or not that has bearings on whatever.
RO16 is a minimum? Clam down their bud. This is the US we are talking about
@@deonte9014 Don't worry, they are obviously just another of the entitled and delusional USMNT fans. Not the realistic type who understand that every match is a new day, and that every team is hungry, and that 90 minutes can tell any story it wants to. The USMNT are not a powerhouse and when coming up against a side like The Netherlands, we are most likely going to lose 98% of the time.
I 💯 agree with taylor!
so hes going to keep the job to prove a point and the US is going to be boring and uncreative and are potentially best player wont be in the team because of drama ? Great
And now we see the failings of nepotism...
*Dude burned multiple bridges that will never be repaired and for what? Utterly disgusting.*
This charade is just what the US national team needs. It takes away from how bad they suck on the field!
Well, there goes Reyna...
You mean there goes Berhalter. Berhalter betrayed the locker room by airing the dirty laundry publicly at that leadership conference.
@@chriskay1449 Maybe. But this will split cry Baby Reyna from the rest of the locker room as well
@@Jared-rn4cy No it won't because Berhalter betrayed their trust by airing the locker room dirty laundry when he promised them it would stay in house. Players do not like having what goes on behind the locker room outed to the public like Berhalter did. Berhalter is toast. Get a new coach that everyone likes and they all move on.
@@chriskay1449 Did A Bad Attitude and almost getting kicked off the team. Did this info just Fly over your head before you posted ur opinion?? Please don't be this Delusional and Bias
@@chriskay1449 ok lol
US Soccer Federation of Reyna
a global embarrassment
This is so ridiculous!! Gio is one of the most talented players we have n I think possibly better than Pulisic. If Berhalter left Gio out cause of Berhalters son got transferred outta Austin FC he should be out but that's hard to prove. All this drama is ridiculous!! Berhalter should be out because of his coaching!! None of this other stuff. Too much has happened now n they need to replace him
Bro! Gio, Bellingham, Musiala? One guy doesn’t really belong in that sentence. I’ll give you Gakpo possibly just because he’s only played in Holland so far. But cmon if Gio were anywhere near those he wouldn’t have been on any bench in the world much less the USA‘s bench
To be fair he is probably the best player US has after Pulisic and McKinney. Gio is likely gonna be the US version of Gio Dos Santos.
Tournament-winning teams do not usually have these types of issues internally or at least they act very professionally on these matters and all of this because of lack of sufficient talent.
The entitlement of pay-to-play parents.
Taylor Twellman: "What are we doing...now?"
This is is pathetic a’f. This is why parents shouldn’t be involved. I know we’ve seen incidents before with the France squad regarding parents & family but this takes the cake. Completely uncalled for from the Reyna family. I’m not defending Berhalter by no means cause I don’t think he was the coach to take the USMNT to the next level but for him to leave in this manner is pathetic.
Ive been breathing for 25 years and have never once kicked a girl while in an argument. Weird how we’re all forgetting that’s the point being made 🤷♂️
