Thanks, I didn't get a chance to watch the friendlies. Did he get a chance to start any or was he a late sub with limited playing time?

I agree about Gregg not being able to sidestep the Gio question. There were some signs of something going on when he was asked about it at the WC and he said something along the lines of Gio was injured and his fitness level wasn't back.

Gio responded publicly saying it wasn't true. I thought it was odd at the time but now it all makes sense. The Reynas took it too far leaking what they did about Gregg, I wonder how likely it was that the USMNT would've kept Gregg as coach. There were plenty of fans/analysts criticizing his coaching and tactics saying we needed a new coach to progress.

Maybe the Reynas felt he would be kept and leaked the incident?

Yea I lost a lot of respect for their family. After Gio did what he did most people just chalked it up to his youth and immaturity but with parents like that...enablers much?

The families were also previously close, Claudio was Gregg's best man at his wedding and had talked about how they were still very good friends recently. Their decades long friendship ended over this.

Wow this whole thing is getting messy. I wasn't a fan of Berhalter and wanted the team to move on from him for a number of reasons:

Lack of goal scoring - well he left Pefok and Pepi off the roster. I understand leaving Pepi off because of his age and lack of experience but Pefok was much better than most forwards on the team. He was at least better then Wright and Ferreira.
His handling of Reyna. He shouldn't have made the benching public even though he thought it was off the record.

To leak what they did about Berhalter though is just classless and low. This could possibly affect his livelihood and career in coaching, not just his tenure with the USMNT.

2 (or multiple) wrongs don't make a right, Gio was immature in how he handled the benching/lack of playing time and Berhalter shouldn't have made it public but Danielle Reyna took it to a whole other level.
