in any event, the ussf will prob just re-sign berhalter now to avoid being sued. so congrats to the reynas

Gio Reyna is hardly world class tbh, he's very talented but also very young and potentially injury-prone. He did some stupid shit during the World Cup and that was dealt with—should have been the end of it. I imagine he will be back as soon as the next cycle starts in earnest, barring injury.
Honestly I see this as much more damaging to Claudio Reyna's career (currently sporting director with Austin FC, previously with NYCFC, etc). Like I said, the world of the USSF is small. Actions like this are relatively easy to track down and people have long memories. Eric Wynalda rocked the boat a lot and has basically been blacklisted; it has happened to others as well. (Not saying that is right, but it is reality.)

Also there's nothing saying they need to fill the manager position immediately. Dave Sarachan was the interim coach after Arena was fired and that lasted most of a year iirc.

more confirmation
Danielle Reyna, mother of U.S. winger Gio Reyna, said in statement that she told USSF sporting director Earnie Stewart about Gregg Berhalter incident from 31 years ago involving his now-wife.Full statement and details here: https://t.co/sYqWCMRMGz— Paul Tenorio (@PaulTenorio) January 4, 2023

One of the more intriguing usmnt callups in recent times, Alan Soñora, who has been playing with Independiente in Argentina

they should be forced to play in empty stadiums during the Gold Cup imo.
like CONCACAF or USMNT officials would ever let that happen

Canada seems to have regressed since the WC. The Balogun goal was so good.

Been meaning to say I was at the USA/Jamaica match on Saturday, Jamaica looked really good from the start, gave the B- US team all they could handle, lucky to get a draw. Also Soldier Field sucks, kinda? Maybe I am too used to empty Fire games.
My friend Jeff retired from day to day work with usmnt at this match. He will definitely still be a good follow for any American fan of the game.
A few days late, but a message about my 118th and final game embedded with the @USMNT.Thank you everyone, but especially these four standing next to me. 🙏🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Ac3isMmkcd— Jeff Crandall (@jefecrandall) June 27, 2023

really a disservice to have the Gold Cup immediately after the Nations League final.
This quarterfinal between Canada and the US looks like what a match between these two might have looked like in the 80s. Both B squads playing miserable soccer, zero pace. US fans cheering like they won off of Vazquez's (admittedly nice) goal, only to give up a stupid PK minutes later and let them equalize.

the PK was Canada's first SOG all match

he had maybe one decent moment prior to that but agreed.
I did lol at the announcers falling all over themselves to compliment Cowell's play as he repeatedly made the wrong decision with the ball in the final third (though admittedly he improved a bit in extra time).
loling at USMNT fans freaking out on Twitter as if this was the Pulisic/Zimmermann version of the squad not being able to beat Canada
