I'm obviously on record with my thoughts about Gregg and how he is unqualified to run this team with this collection of talent.

However, The Reyna's are the typical soccer moms and part of this despicable culture in this country where we fake outrage over things we don't give a **** about to try **** someone over, score points for an agenda we have and/or feel better about ourselves as people usually on social media/internet.

What a completely despicable, cowardly, entitled, douchey, cringeworthy thing to do. Your son doesn't get playing time so you ****ing bring up a domestic violence incident from 31 years ago? When the couple is happily married and Mrs. Berhalter has obviously moved past it? So gross. So So So gross. I sympathize with Gregg and almost almost want to see him be manager again just because of this issue to **** the Reynas.

USSF is culpable in this too. Why did they have to release a statement right away? Why does Mrs. Berhalter have to relive this again and get her name dragged in the mud? Why not go to her first and ask her what happened and if she was ok with this statement being made. If they did that and she gave her blessing then fair enough. But why does she have to relive something from 31 ****ing years ago? That I'm sure wasn't easy to move past but I'm sure she's been over for a while. Couldn't the Berhalters have just denied it too? There's no police record no charges filed? Our country is so out of control when we can try to cancel somebody for some **** they did 31 years ago as an 18 year old. I'd love to know what ****ing Claudio and Danielle Reyna were doing when they were 18. Not suggesting they were kicking each other but prob doing dumb **** most 18 year olds do.

Gregg stinks as a manager. He handled the Reyna situation awfully prior to this blackmail on many fronts. Since this has come out though the Reyna's look absolutely horrible and deservedly so. The whole situation is a mess and is such a perfect example of our country as a whole and the soccer setup in particular. We are an embarrassment.

Personally, if the US is to go that route, I’d much rather then bring in Mourinho who’s style should work well internationally and can really form a cohesive squad. The job he’s done with Roma makes me think he could do well for the US.

Mostly though, I want Marsch to keep coaching in Europe and see some success before considering the US job.
i looked at his wiki and he is 59 yrs old, a long playing career, and a lot of experience in the EPL. but it is a middling managerial record i must say

so Moyes would be a disaster then

perhaps a more realistic name would be Roberto Martinez?

i think something is going to give soon w the USSF making a decision on the matter

I gave your post a like and would like to be able to like it 100 times. Parents of any child playing any sport are in general the most despicable people on the planet. **** parents!

Martinez would be a different kind of disaster. Another easy donotwant.

The situation is a complete mess atm and the USSF needs to bring in someone that will command respect and has seen some level of success (and also wants to coach at the international level).

if GGG is not retained, we really need to leverage the fact that we are co-hosts of the next WC. it makes the position just a little bit more attractive and might land a bigger name than some might expect

The Reyna parents seem like incredible morons. Even beyond the moral aspect, if they were so pissed off by Berhalter semi-publicly dumping on Gio that it led them to contact US soccer, how can they not see hat doing so would make him look even worse in public? Dunno how much Gio was involved but no way those comments would've stuck to him too long, especially in the club environment. This whole circus now just might.

Is there any proof that gregg was actually blackmailed during (or even after) the WC? How do we know gregg wasn't told about the investigation and then concocted the story about how he was blackmailed about it? At this point it is he said/she said between gregg and gio's mom.

So many people that are abused in a relationship don't see a way out or hang on for money. I'm not saying that is going on with gregg and his wife but it happens enough where it makes your take terrible.

I don't think he was blackmailed, that seems made up. He was softly threatened over text? or something and the investigation discovered more people with the team were reached out to

blackmail as a buzzword was created by likely pro ggg liberal media

Haven’t been following but they weren’t married though at time, right?

If that’s the case she could have simply not married him.

I’m not apologizing or condoning what happened at all. But, whatever happened is between them and has been worked out or whatever.

I mean, you literally posted that he was being blackmailed less than 48 hours ago.

Unless they got married at 18 or 19, they were dating when this happened. The relationship could be abusive to this day, but until that comes out we can only assume it was an ugly incident when they were dating and they’ve worked on whatever needed to be worked on.

Right so the “stuck and can’t see a way out” definitely doesn’t apply. Not to belittle inappropriate behavior but this seems like a big nothing burger.

If she felt good enough to marry him and no incidents (reported anyhow) in 31 years or whatever that’s all anyone possibly needs to know

Lol Pepi, the guy goes a year without scoring a goal and thinks he should have been on the team.

Pulisic took a little jab in stomach or groin and people making him out to be a hero that almost died leading his team to victory.

Then the Reyna thing

Can’t root for this team anymore, soccer players are mostly weirdos as are their scarf wearing fan boys

Gotta admit lol the team is tough to root for right now

Think I prefer the old Alexi-style-dumb-patriotic-set-pieces-are-critical ethos, to these jokers

Lol scarf wearing

Not the European fans tho
