  1. Nothing against Reyna, I am a fan of his, and not advocating for Berhalter. I agree with Reynas decision to come forward and talk about it in the open. We will never know if he could have made a difference in this WC. On the flip side of the coin of performance, Reyna could have had a rough tourney. But, any young man who knows he can contribute, mightily, to a WC team would be disappointed if his coach told him his role will be limited before the tourney even started. Berhalter could have just as easily, and professionally said to Gio, (instead of telling him his role will be limited) if he wants to start and get minutes, “prove to me you deserve those minutes”. I think it was Berhalter who set this tone for controversy to play out. Lastly, Berhalter may have designed a complex system for US Mens Soccer, but he lacks a grand vision for US Mens Soccer.

  2. Point is, the Reyna thing is only one of three major goofs.

    Good número uno: Feriera over Ricardo Pepi. Two Latinos for the hundreds of thousands of Mexican American youth to look up to. Why Feriera? MLS. Why no Ricado Pepi? No MLS.

    Goof número dos:
    Walking Zimmerman starting.

    Good número tres:
    Not playing Reyna enough.

    But our weakness was in strikers and defenders. Not midfielders.

  3. Finally US getting some young talents around and they picked Berhalter an coach never coached an single international game and achieved nothing as coach, now he is ruining the young talent now.

  4. Herculez Gomez keeps on interrupting Sebastian Salazar. He should allow him to talk and let him finish. Just seems outright rude on live TV

    What does Dortmund. They only sell players they want not to because they are not owned by Qatar and need money to exist. What they do primarily is being a football club and play football with players they can afford. Please talk with more respect about Dortmund. They develop very young players and would love to let them stay.

  6. Behalter just looked like the old school coach that wants to "discipline" players no matter how good they are. For tournaments we need a coach that's going to always play the best players

  7. I like how Herc said “like the Mexican team” when he was saying certain guys didn’t deserve it but were just blocking the next crop, like Greg didn’t do the same 😂
