World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

*Gregg Berhalter gets blackmailed by crazy Karen Soccer Mom*

USMNT Twitter: Clearly the sole blame for this lies at Berhalter’s feet and he never should’ve been hired.

Find someone who loves you like #USMNT hates Gregg Berhalter…

Seems like if the information was that important you would’ve sent it to US Soccer after he was hired, not after mean things about your son were made public.

Meh. Drop Reyna from the national team all together. It seems obvious he and his parents thought his name was enough.

I think Austin FC needs a new Sporting Director too (though it’s Precourt’s team so I doubt it).

It’s sad to basically see two families who were friends for decades, Gregg and Claudio go back to their youth days in New Jersey and Danielle and Rosalind were roommates in college, basically tear this whole thing up over a kids playing time. It’s a crap soap opera come to life.

And the Reyna’s are basically saying they did this in response to Berhalter’s speech that leaked. And that’s a ridiculous thing because it was clear the story about Gio was coming out anyway, the writers at The Athletic had the story but sat on it because of Grant Wahl’s death.

100% agree with this.

The amount of people trying to both sides this, or even worse celebrating the Reynas, is staggering.

Yup. That's what I would do. **** those people.

Holy shot. I just read the athletic article that spawned this mess. That makes the Reynas look absolute terrible. It's pretty clear that Berhalter was trying to protect Gio's reputation by saying it was an injury. Reynas and Wynalda for some reason were offended that he lied. Which is baffling. What should he have said? "Your son is a ****ing sourpuss and we almost flew him home because he has a **** attitude"

Like, obviously not. They're just ****ed that he didn't get to play. But he's an adult and it sounds like his teammates were upset with him as well.

The Reynas and Wynalda come out looking awful in this and now I'm even more upset at them than for just the blackmail alone.

I obviously want Gio to play, but not if he's an entitled doosh that's a cancer in the locker room. Go play somewhere else.

If you read the ESPN article they claim Claudio was sending messages to Earnie Stewart (US Soccer's Technical Director) and Brian McBride (the USMNT GM) about Gio's playing time during the World Cup.

What amazes me is that people are using that to make the leap that Stewart and McBride should be fired.

I have absolutely no loyalty one way or the other with Berhalter, but I've absolutely soured on the Reynas and that entire family should be banned from all future USMNT positions, on the pitch or off. They're all vipers. It hurts to lose Gio but better that than risk the damage that family could cause long term.

Oh I agree about Gio and his family. Though I think the damage has already been done.

At this point, who would want to manage the USMNT, especially if Gio is still involved? Certainly not anyone that would satisfy the vocal portion of the fanbase.

In shocking news, Pulisic was injured against Man City.

If Pulisic and Matt Stienburg ever meet, all that will be left is a fine mist of glass shards.
