The SuperDraft is a hybrid college/semi-pro draft.

yeah, its drafting college players. its pretty weird and archaic and you can see from the fact that every pick is being traded its become a weird sort of system where teams just use fake mls money to buy the draft rights to a player that in a normal system they'd just sign

KC broke the trade streak, sad!

Picks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,13 have been traded so far

If I concentrate really hard and repeat my new mantra "Coach Wondo," maybe I'll remember to watch a Quakes game in March and maybe the Quakes won't lick the wooden spoon and maybe the Quakes owner will quit trying to move the Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas.

18. They were college freshmen. And drunk.

And someone contacted the US camp during the World Cup to try to blackmail them or him about it.

And it happened on the same day as the Athletic article about Gio Reyna being a li'l poo poo came out.

And also Berhalter's wife and Gio Reyna's mom were college roommates.

The statement she made is amazing:

"Danielle Reyna said in a statement on Wednesday: "I thought it was especially unfair that Gio, who had apologized for acting immaturely about his playing time, was still being dragged through the mud when Gregg had asked for and received forgiveness for doing something so much worse at the same age."

quote:

In response to Berhalter's characterization of the events, Danielle Reyna said: "Without going into detail, the statements from yesterday significantly minimize the abuse on the night in question. Rosalind Berhalter was my roommate, teammate and best friend, and I supported her through the trauma that followed.

"It took a long time for me to forgive and accept Gregg afterward, but I worked hard to give him grace, and ultimately made both of them and their kids a huge part of my family's life. I would have wanted and expected him to give the same grace to Gio. This is why the current situation is so very hurtful and hard."

You know that's not going to happen. The collective #BerhalterOut loons on USMNT social media are saying that this is more evidence that Gregg has to go because well if you can't keep USMNT soccer parents happy then you aren't a good leader.

Admittedly I very much want Gio Reyna to be part of the us national team going forward so if the relationship is as permanently damaged as it looks, that seems pretty bad. But USMNT twitter is also insane and shouldn't use this because of their ax to grind with Berhalter.

Rosalind Berhalter must be loving furious about all of this.

i’ve seen more grace with youth league parents. Gio still got significant World Cup minutes! In a knockout game! At age 20!

And then when everything came out afterwards, he accepted everything that had happened!Was he supposed to be starting? Would they have done the same if Gregg subbed him out and didn’t give him 90?

Just baffling entitlement, and it may blowup spectacularly in their faces. (Well, if Austin’s owner wasn’t also a scummy rear end in a top hat)

Lol it’s MLS as hell for everyone to act like Gio, who is a fixed starter for a real CL team when healthy and who was healthy at the World Cup, should have been playing 20 minutes a game.

Gregg is a loving moron who dumped everything to the press first chance he got, this is on him, as is not winning the group because he insisted on going with an MLS defender who decided to kung fu Bale

Gregg is a clown and needs to go, get an actual professional in there.

Gio might lose some standing with the MLS contingent in the MNT but who cares, that group should be happy to be there

"When healthy" is doing a tooooooon of heavy lifting in that first sentence.

US still would've gotten 2nd in the group had they beaten Wales because England would've had the superior GD.

Gio should lose some standing with the other players on the roster because this makes it look like if he doesn't play every single second possible (if healthy) then mommy and daddy are going whine to the federation about his playing time.

Dang if only Gregg had a player who was in fact very healthy and good at scoring goals, he should have played him.

Anyway the goal Gio scored in his first game back at Dortmund right after the WC was pretty good

No it's not "MLS as Hell" because if it was then Don Garber would have ordered Gregg Berhalter to play Gio Reyna every minute via an obscure rule that he totally didn't just create somewhere in the crack of his rear end.

And Reyna's parents also would have received some Allocation Money.

Ignoring drama, i'm moderately pro keeping Berhalter but only extending him through 2024 because I don't think the grass is always greener and we could hypothetically use copa america as a cut point and probably have a much better shot at a big time hire at that point than now.

But getting pretty hard to ignore the drama and the case that we need someone who hasn't spent decades in the U.S. soccer hellscape is looking pretty good this week.

If its not gonna be gregg, the first interview question for USMNT manager should be do you personally know Eric Wynalda and if the answer is no they get to continue the interview
