Agree w Taylor but I am here to ask you to stop placing the stupid green circles on every thumbnail video.
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
Is this is true. The Reyna parents are disgusting for it. That ish was 20 years ago and obviously his now wife has forgiven him and moved on (4 kids). Crazy go just think who your real friends are and who isn't.
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
Is t that the guy who’s always doing concussion rants? I know that voice and it’s always doing a concussion rant.
This is blown out of proportion. Danielle used Gregg as an example of people doing stupid things when they are young after Gregg made a big deal over Gio acting out. There's been no proof that this was used as a threat. Once the abuse allegations came up USSF chose to investigate because it may have happened to staff members also.
This is beyond disgraceful
Reyna should never play for the US again. A professional doesn't have his mama lobby for more playing time like a high school kid.
The whole federation is dysfunctional
Now imagine what youth players and coaches have to deal with. These are the people whose kids make it in the USA. The entitled privileged parents who will do anything to make sure their kids get playing time
This is all so incesteous; they all friends, controlling and giving each other preferential treatment. His mom may not have planned the whole thing, but she knew she was lighting the fire.
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!
😂😂😂😂So you gonna snitch cause your son not playing ok fine see he still didn't play so now you gotta wait another 4
The ultimate Karen soccer mom move at the highest level: play my son or ill end you
Taylor. U.S. Soccer is ran and coached by a bunch of woke idiots and the fact that Greg hardly played Gio shows what a petty idiot and poor coach Greg is period!!!!!
GB never should've been hired, and anyone else would've been fired already.
And now we see the failings of nepotism…
What a sh*tshow.
Hope Gio doesn’t bail on USMNT and become a German citizen 😟
This comment section is full of Karens trying to demonize the parents who rightfully don't want to see their star player son relegated by some arrogant woman beater. GB made the wrong moves at every step.
I can't wait until Trent A. Arnold's folks call Gareth Southgate to complain about his limited role😂😂
Never mind thats England lol
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? 🤔
What a Reality Show🤣🤣🤣
Considering the families were close, the feelings must have really ran deep for these really vindictive moves
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.
They were never friends.
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.
CLAUDIO REYNA ACTING LIKE A CUCKOLD LOL
So Gio is a huge spoiled and his mom and dad are insane. Got it.
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
Ngl this is embarrassing for Berhalter and embarrassing for Claudio Reyna, not even to take the worst case scenario which is blackmail, if Claudio and his wife are complaining to higher ups because their son isn't playing they are bugged out, spoiled brats
USMNT acting like the Women’s team lol
What a fiasco!
Can't see Berhalter and Gio Reyna really continuing on after this. One of them is done with the national team for a while.
That’s cool wife beater berhalter out!
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..
Dam really snitched on him
“Depends on what you consider a threat” great “reporting”…so I guess I wouldn’t consider you a reporter. Something is or isn’t, life isn’t Schrödinger’s cat.
Giovanni rayna= spoiled American brat👊🏻
USMNT drama keeps getting better and better. Waiting on deck are: Pefok, Pepi, Steffen 😄. At this point, USWNT is probably in serious jelly of the attention, lol
We didn’t make a threat. We just said that information can found itself out there some wink wink
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.
This is gonna lose us some respect
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.
