It’s been confirmed that Zidane rejected an offer of taking on the USMNT team. It just proves that the whole of USMNT and Berhalter have made the whole association rot from the top down. And I don’t think you’ll fix it before 2026. What a ruined opportunity!
This fiasco stems from the fact that Gio Reyna is a spoiled prima donna. He apparently didn’t prepare or train as he should have to earn playing time at the World Cup. The coach held him accountable for his actions, so he sulked like the spoiled brat that he appears to be. Maybe this is the first time a coach dared to hold him accountable to the standard expected of the rest of the players. Clearly, neither he nor his Mommy could accept that. Pathetic. This is the sort of sad behaviour you see at the U12 level. Just a reminder….this is the “men’s” national team. Do the other players’ mommies go after the coach when they don’t get enough playing time?
Instead of being principled Herc Gomez is cucking to corporate pressure on this. Victimhood mentality and cancel culture is such a problem. Yes Berhalter made a mistake in 1991 and in the world cup but that shouldn't matter right now. The guy has changed and deserves a chance. If you're gonna fire him then also fire Claudio Reyna from his position. Danielle Reyna should also face some consequences. Gio should be allowed to return to the team as long as he had nothing to do with this
I never dumped on Berhalter needlessly but he's done. We will move on. But the Reyna family looks awful too….snd by extension Gio. What a pathetic soap opera mess
As a Brit and long time US resident and citizen, I don’t see a top level European coach coming to the US. They would have to be willing to relocate their family and inherit some potential issues. Plus, if anything were to happen, it would likely be after the current season is over. That’s when most managerial changes occur.
No soccer player’s family should influence US soccer when their son didn’t even deliver. He’s no Messi and yet US media treating him like he is. Both Gio Reyna’s parents and Berhalter should be removed & Gio Reyna needs to stop whining and bring it on the field.
it's interesting how you see the English analysts demonstrate so much solidarity with ex- teammates, and even controversy-courting analysts in other sports like Charles Barkley and Shaq who don't hold their tongues in evaluating star players' output stop well short of peers' hold on a job
This is unreal. From what I've heard, the Reyna family and the Berhalter family were friends for a long time, long after the incident of 1991. So, now Mrs Reyna speaks only because of what happened to her son. So, I say, "Oh, why didn't you speak before?" And another thing. It seems that was the only incident between the Berhalters. So, why can't anybody give credit to him for improving his behaviour as a man? Redemption is something accepted in society, or in't it? If every time you hire a coach, and then you don't like him, and then find something objectionable in his past, of which he' has cured, but you don't accept that, then, we are not being fair.
Everybody should get fired, from top to bottom, no exception. Right now is friends hiring friends. Greg's time should be over after 4plus years period regardless of his world cup performance, USA went as far as expected with the talent he had available. The Reyna vendetta should not weigh in the ultimate decision. Good luck finding a new coach.

Thanks, Herc!
I am not going to get my hopes up. If the USSF dumps Berhalter, they are just going to bring in another MLS shill.
In the America we live in NO WAY he’ll be allowed back

Counter example for Keller's point is Scaloni the guy that just won the WC lol

Reyna > berhalter
This whole situation reminds me of the CR7/Ten Hag situation. We must remember… THE TEAM IS BIGGER THAN ANY PLAYER. USMNT does not need Gio.
USMNT Under Berthalter:
Gold Cup Runner Up x 1
Gold Cup Champions x 1
Nation Leagues Champions x 1
World Cup Rd of 16.
USMNT Before Berthalter:
Confederation Cup – Not qualified
Copa America – 4th Place
Gold Cup – 4th place and Champions
World Cup – Did not qualify
Unless Klinsmann is coming back, don't hold your breathe for any promising coach candidates.

Please God. We need to move on from Berhalter asap.
I can’t stand KC Keller.

USA Soccer in a nutshell!! Pay to play system 🤦🏽♂️
It had to be USA
Everybody should get fired, from top to bottom, no exception.
Right now is friends hiring friends.
Greg's time should be over after 4plus years period regardless of his world cup
performance, USA went as far as expected with the talent he had available.
The Reyna vendetta should not weigh in the ultimate decision.
Good luck finding a new coach.
Greeg berhalter had DAUGTHER in Brasil and abandoned big liar use name José Ângelo beranek talke from Uruguai.
