So,she wanted her son to play because their families were friends 🤢 this is exactly why the US will NEVER win a World Cup. Downvote me if you want,but the rich will always play gatekeeper for their friends and family.

In a country of 300 million we couldn’t find any better striker than the son of one of the former mediocre team members.

It’s a farce.

A. Gio isn’t a striker. B. Gio is one of the best players in the pool.

Talented doesn't always mean better in a team sport.

That’s not responsive to either of my points.

Technically you did say Gio is the best in the pool, so the responder saying talent =/= best in a team sport could be a proper argument to that point - that's only if the minor assumptions made there (namely by best you mean most talented) are accurate.

Anyway, just figured I'd hopefully help clarify where everyone was coming from. Cheers

I mean Gio absolutely should’ve been playing, he’s one of the most talented players we’ve got, but yeah his mom is psycho for all this

Apparently he has a bad attitude and is lazy at training. Jude Bellingham said he was the same at dortmund. Seeing how his parents are it wouldn't surprise me if he's got a bad attitude.
