Reply to comment by GucciGecko in Danielle Reyna told U.S. Soccer about past Gregg Berhalter domestic violence incident by Dann610

IDK Pefok is obviously starting to score at the club level but in the friendlies he got he looked like he didn’t even know how to kick a ball. Some players just don’t adapt to the national team game. It’s slightly different.

I also don’t think you can just never answer the Gio question. It would still be a distraction in two years if you don’t air it now. Reynas had media allies publicly attacking Gregg. It’s pretty clear to the rest of the press what’s happening and they’re going to hound until they get an answer.

Thanks, I didn't get a chance to watch the friendlies. Did he get a chance to start any or was he a late sub with limited playing time?

I agree about Gregg not being able to sidestep the Gio question. There were some signs of something going on when he was asked about it at the WC and he said something along the lines of Gio was injured and his fitness level wasn't back.

Gio responded publicly saying it wasn't true. I thought it was odd at the time but now it all makes sense. The Reynas took it too far leaking what they did about Gregg, I wonder how likely it was that the USMNT would've kept Gregg as coach. There were plenty of fans/analysts criticizing his coaching and tactics saying we needed a new coach to progress.

Maybe the Reynas felt he would be kept and leaked the incident?
