If history is any indication, they are all getting ready to go stand in front of me in line to get a Clone Cone

Haha! Might be first come, first serve, Argentine Best Buy Black Friday event.
That's a bold move considering Mbappe put 4 balls past him the last time they met.
Anybody following this? Evidently the Reyna’s were blackmailing US Soccer to get Gio more playing time based on an altercation between Berhalter and his now wife which occurred in ‘91. Terrible look for everybody.

Wow this makes things more unsavory. No one looks good in this matter: Berhalter should just have kept everything in the house instead of telling the story (added to the fact that some players said there were no votes taken whether to send Gio home or not). The Reynas don't look good here and I wouldn't comment on the accusation but Claudio should know that managers come and go. Gio has been quite successful in Bundesliga and he doesn't need GB's playing him to be justify himself - doing this actually harms Gio's reputation. He's an adult and he can deal with GB himself.
I think this may have had the exact opposite effect the Reyna camp had hoped for. It seems like public opinion had pretty well turned in Greg after he made public Reyna's work ethic issue. But now it's the Reyna's that look dumb-- blackmailing him over something that happened between him and his now wife 30+ years ago. Seems to me Greg comes away looking somewhat sympathetic here.
Yeah, I've been following this story since it broke. This has serious "overbearing soccer parent that never grew out of it" vibes.
I'm clearly not condoning what Berhalter did, but it seems apparent that he made a pretty bad mistake a long time ago and the person that was affected the most has forgiven him.

That is not what the story says at all. Mom told Earnie about it because Berhalter spoke poorly about Gio. Claudio should have kept his mouth shut during the Copa. We now have a new excuse to suck in the next cycle. JFC.
I hear you. I don't trust the story at all yet. That is just my thing. Mom said her part AFTER the World Cup. It is unclear to me what Claudio was thinking if the allegations started during the World Cup as alleged.
