An update on Reyna-gate: Berhalter has been cleared by USSF's investigation and can be re-hired.

And Claudio Reyna is a bigger shithead than we were led to believe:

Sleep with one eye open

We're off to Gritty Gritty land




quote:

During the course of the investigation, both Gregg and Rosalind Berhalter were interviewed about the January 1992 incident of domestic violence that took place outside of a bar called Players while the two were attending the University of North Carolina. Both Berhalters recounted how an argument between the two was taken outside the bar, at which point Rosalind Berhalter hit Gregg Berhalter in the face. Gregg Berhalter responded by pushing Rosalind to the ground and kicking her twice before a passerby intervened and tackled Gregg Berhalter.

No police report was filed over the incident, which in part led investigators to conclude that Gregg Berhalter "didn't improperly withhold the fact of the 1992 Incident, or any other information, from U.S. Soccer at any time."

In an interview with investigators, Danielle Reyna said that Gregg Berhalter "beat the s--- out of" Rosalind Berhalter, though she admitted she hadn't witnessed the incident.

Investigators determined that Gregg Berhalter took responsibility for his actions by reporting the incident to his coach, and engaging in counseling. He and Rosalind Berhalter eventually reconciled, got married, and now have four children.

Woof Gregg, this is way beyond a simple "kick." At least he realized he did a very bad thing and him and Rosalind seemed to put it behind them. Hey son, did I ever tell you that when I was your age I got really drunk and curbstomped your mom.


quote:

According to the report, Danielle Reyna told a U.S. Soccer staffer the day after the World Cup match against Wales: "Once this tournament is over, I can make one phone call and give one interview, and his cool sneakers and bounce passes will be gone."

Claudio Reyna told then-USSF GM Brian McBride: "You guys don't even know what we know about Gregg."

The report reads: "The information was disclosed at a time when it would be expected to discourage or otherwise influence the organization from offering a contract extension to Mr. Berhalter. Mr. Stewart explained during the Investigation that he believed the Reynas made this disclosure to him so that U.S. Soccer would not hire Mr. Berhalter for another term."

The Reynas and the Berhalters had been longtime friends, but issues over Gio Reyna's playing time also resulted in a fraying of the relationship.

This included the Reynas asking that they return to their hotel with the rest of the players' friends and family on a bus that didn't include the Berhalters.

Gregg Berhalter told investigators: "There were 150 people in the Friends and Family program at this year's World Cup. All were having a great time -- except for five people who were absolutely miserable. Those five were cursing, acting horribly. It was the Reynas."

The report included details of how this wasn't the first time that the Reynas had complained about Gio's treatment, including during his days representing the U.S. at the 2019 U-17 World Cup.

According to the report, one person interviewed described several incidents in which Mr. Reyna contacted U.S. Soccer officials to make complaints regarding his sons.

The person characterized Mr. Reyna's historical outreach as "inappropriate," "bullying" and "mean-spirited."

The Reynas blowing up a relationship (and their reputation) with their BFFs of 30+ years is just incredibly sad.


The alt-Earth version of this where they Reynas had nothing to do with this and everything was solely the fault of the guy who tackled Gregggg 30 years ago and sitting on this just in case he ever got extremely mad about losing to the Dutch is extremely hilarious to think about

What are you talking about? It seems like he pushed his wife and kicked her twice, which is real bad but also definitely not a curbstomp.

And since I hate myself I'm going to wade into the comments to see how many people are bitching about there being too many MLS players (1) on this roster [edit: seems like Hudson held off calling in MLS players to save them for future competitions that aren't in FIFA windows].
