James Benge and Michael Lahoud react to the USMNT head coach’s bombshell statement alleging attempts by an individual to “leverage” a physical dispute he had with his now-wife to end “my relationship with U.S. Soccer.”

i very much dislike gregg berhalter as coach of usmnt, but him kicking his gf when he was 18, 32 years ago(!), has zero bearing on anything today. lol, i did some STUPID shite when i was 18, and am a totally different person now.
There is a ESPN news article that Caudio Reyna sent the info…
This is wild
Gregg should be sacked for his performance at the WC and his comments about Gio afterwards. Not for something he did 30 years ago.
This is getting to be a pile of Rubbish Grow up and let cooler heads prevailed
The amount of hate 🙄 makes people become scumbags 😒
Gios parents are scumbags 👌
Oh no! It's Lahoud's boss Reyna!
We should stop accepting mediocrity
Clean slate all the way around. Get a different manager. Give the Reynas a cycle off to reassess how they respect the role of the USMNT manager. Will they do this with a future manager that fancies other players over Gio? Remember, everybody has dirt in the closet. It shouldn't be unearthed if you don't like what is happening to your grown child. I don't remember McKennie's parents outing Berhalter when he made his mistake. He took it like a MAN!.
I think if Berhalter hadn't lied first about Reyna being injured n why he wasn't playing much was a big mistake!! He lied, put out stuff only team should hear and how many players does Berhalter not get along with?? Problems with Brooks which we could have used bad especially last game. Berhalter is a liar n not truthful to US fans nor his players. Why not tell Reyna he wasn't going to play much n give choice to join team. I don't understand why he didn't play much. He's more talented than Pulisic was at this point.
