    Just awful.  He has been the best American soccer writer for a long time.  He has also been very outspoken about Qatar hosting this world cup and just happens to die while in Qatar.  Something doesn't seem right with this.  This was his last story on his website....

    Turns out he had an aneurysm.  So sad.

    This stuff with Reyna is wild.  Sounds like he has a lot of growing up to do but at the same time it seems pretty crazy that Berhalter would tell him BEFORE the WC even started that he would barely be involved.  How can you say that to one of your most talented players??  You don't know what's going to happen with injuries, red cards, etc...  I really hope they bring in someone else for this next WC cycle.

    It's a bad look for everyone. Why would you tell any player before the tournament starts that their role will be limited? Also, why would you later betray the locker room and tell this story? Even if you thought it was "off the record"? 

    I'm neutral on Berhalter but I think this will lead to him not being brought back. I don't know how you can expect any one on the squad to trust him again. 

    On the flip, Reyna obviously did not handle the situation well and has growing up to do but he's only 20

    Is this the coach getting blackmailed?

    Wild. Now Reyna's wife has a statement out admitting to it and saying the situation is worse than described.

    Don't mess with a soccer mom.  The whole thing is a mess and everyone looks bad.

    Yeah, it's all gross. Gotta figure Berhalter is gone though, right?

    Yeah hard to see him coming back after all this.  I thought he should have been gone even before all this nonsense came out....he's nowhere near good enough of a coach to bring back for another WC cycle.

    In a statement obtained by ESPN and Fox Sports, Reyna stated: “I told Earnie that 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.”

    Ain't that some shit?  The dudes Mom blew the whistle on this.
