At the end of the day, maybe if you aren't mature enough to fight your own battles and feel the need to run back to mommy, you might not be mature enough to start at a world cup.
Curios…as a relatively new parent myself, who wants my kid to play soccer or simply sports in general..is this pay to play more prevalent in soccer? Or all sports in America ..
Too much drama, the USMNT needs to hire another coach. Preferably someone with international experience.
Not interested in any coach who throws their own players under the bus. Trust gone.
Just as Im beginning to believe in u s soccer this shyt comes up.gtfo..buh bye back to watching nfl. ps…vamos muchachos la puta madre !
royalty lmao. ok. sit down. He was average. she is an unknown until now. stupid parents on display. definition of entitlement.
Sebastian Salazar hit the nail on the head this is all about entitlement which needs to be rooted out of US soccer from the little league all they to the top league
Let USA get Pochi for 2026
Do I want him out? Yes. Is this how I, or anyone, wanted it to happen? Absolutely not.
Completely disagree w Seb. The idea that sponsors care about an incident 30 years ago is ridiculous.
I hope they blackball the Reyna family for life…. All of them, they are a disgrace to our country!!!
He should be. Whether the backwards thinking USSF moves on is another story entirely.
No reason to fight for this thankless job. Let someone else get the team ready for 2026 disappointment
Gio’s mom went full Karen. Never go full Karen.
“You are the worst person ever because you did something bad 2000 years ago”
Absolutely ridiculous
The Berhalter incident when he was eighteen was a family issue and should have stayed that way. Yes, it was probably reckless, but if his wife forgave him then its ancient history. If everyone was judged on things they did as a teenager we would be in a whole lot of trouble. If this causes his firing, then I have absolutely no respect for US soccer.
I don't like Berhalter, but I am pulling for him to keep his job now. I'm tired of seeing people have their lives ruined for things that happened decades ago.
Berhalter has no tactics
From having the chance to play with Messi in Argentina, to be a bench warmer in the U.S and having all this dramas around him, not saying he would of been selected, but he could be world champion right now, probably Gio Reyna's biggest mistake was choosing to play for the U.S and probably his parents influenced his choice
Gio Reyna's mom just ruined his relationship with the US international team
How about we just don't call up Gio ever again and fire Berhalter. Problem solved.
The American pay-to-play youth system is the reason why the United States will never win the men's World Cup so long as it is in existence.
Also, there is no such thing as American soccer "royalty". The men's USMNT hasn't achieved nearly enough for that animal to exist.
Alé is team android 😍
This is the problem with complex tactics but to attack Gregg like that Gio's mom is wrong I don't why does USSF stopped having DA.
The Reyna’s tried to blackmail. Hopefully they kick Gio out of USMNT!
alex lalas at one point said where is reyna during the world cup, he plays withgio’s dad b4.
Entitled cry babies sums up the MLS and the Federation!
If I was the coach I would bury Gio so far down the team sheet they would need an excavator to find him.
This is hilarious and a little sad. I'm not a soccer fan, but I'm here watching this video. The studio analyst gets it, this some weak shizz from Reyna.
Seb actually said something very crucial here. This was all going on behind the scenes. HE was the one to go public. He was also the one who made the drama with Gio public. If his technique for dealing with internal drama is to play it out in the court of public opinion, he absolutely should not continue.
US team played well in the World Cup. They worked hard for each other and the 4-3-3 system seemed to work well for them. They did lose in round of 16 to Holland but Dutch are top 10 Euro team that pushed eventual tournament winner Argentina to extra time and penalties. To me the US coach seemed a solid pro, and perhaps Reyna just didn't fit in his system.
Gio reyna deserves to be expelled from the national team for trying to blackmail the coach, simply criminal that they keep calling him
back when again 91 REALLY
