USMNT

As funny as this all is on some level it's also a major issue for the team going forward. And USSF is too twisted in conflicts of interest for it to get solved properly I fear. Best case is they appoint a USMNT manager who is far enough removed from US Soccer beforehand that the federation's crap isn't going to interfere in 2026. I don't really see that happening.

Agreed, gotta go get someone from another country who never had anything to do with the MLS.

However, that's pretty much what I've asked for since I was a kid for this team.

Do you, or anyone else watch espnfc regularly?

They're seriously listing Pep Guardiola as a potential candidate, most of the list they had was absolutely ridiculous.

We'll see how Leeds goes. But it seems like they could just be waiting for Marsch to fail again so they can bring him in. Which I don't mind him, but as you said, I don't really want a guy who has any ties to this crap.

That whole generation I've always found annoying and arrogant from afar. I know Brian Bliss who was a bench player, quiet guy, very humble. From my hometown, grew up with my father. Never got to meet any of the other guys though.

I did like Reyna before this. But you can add him to the list of Lala's, Harkes, and Wynaldas. They've got the English "It's coming home, I invented football" attitude but wouldn't be regarded as anything other than JAGs and failures in real "footballing" nations. At least that's how they've always struck me, I could be off on that.
 
Well Karen of the year

Wow, I've lost all respect for the older Reyna's today.

I'm not a fan of berhalter, never was, and what he did was horrible.

But for Danielle Reyna to claim in that statement today she is Rosalind's friend, and exposing that altercation back in the day that they clearly resolved and moved past is so scummy. I feel terrible for her and their kids.

Early doors but I think we have a real contender for Karen of the year.

Absolutely this. I mean, none of us want Berhalter, but in my opinion, the Reynas come off way, way worse here.

And honestly, this is a horrible look for Gio, regardless of whether he knew his parents were involved in this buffoonery

I wonder though if the next manager may be able to mend fences like the Moroccan manager with Ziyech

Yeah maybe although I'd be wanting to keep him away more because of his parents than anything else. Although I suppose leaving him out could also cause a backlash from them too

If I was the next USMNT manager I wouldn't have Gio Reyna anywhere near the squad

His teammates forgave him and that should’ve been the end of it. It’s also one of those situations where the talent means he gets away with more than he should. That’s actually probably what started this whole thing. When all young players hear is how great they are, it’s tough for them to handle any adversity or being told they might not be the greatest thing ever. Clearly mom and dad didn’t set the best example for him either with the reaction. That said, learn from it and move forward.
