It seems a little odd, not going to lie. I don't like Greg but this is probably taking it too far. He shouldn't be rehired for his lack of tactics, not his lack of tact at a bar 30 years ago. Sucks for his wife, too.
Definitely taking it too far. I don't like him either but he should rise and fall on his results and tactics, not on something he did over 30 years ago.

Definitely sucks for his wife. Sad to see some personal mistake that he knew was a mistake even back then now be weaponized on him.

    Agree but whatever it takes.

    Agnelli and co. should’ve been fired for their gross incompetence. But instead it stepped down after Exor told them to gtfo for supposed pending legal actions against them.

    I wonder what short sighted spare the federation will replace him with

    Greg's removal is an inside job.

    I have no idea, and I shudder to think about it.

    I thought it was just a coincidence, but I guess not.

    What a mess. But I guess he should have played Reyna more, or at least didn't broadcast his limited role nonsense? :boh:

    Not only were Reyna and Gregg teammates but THEIR WIVES played a UNC for four years together.

    And it appears it was Mrs. Reyna who leaked the information to US Soccer. So she was probably confided in by Greg's wife about the incident or heard about it and now is using it as a weapon because their son acted like an immature child? Stunning way to destroy a friendship.

    I don't know how much of a child Reyna acted. Didn't see it first hand. But to tell a player like that he won't play much at a world cup before it starts is pretty stupid. It's just stupidity all around.

    I mean, between his health and his attitude, being told that you're coming along but not going to play much is how it is. Might not be ideal, might not make sense to the player but that's the coach's call. This is on Reyna a bit. How he responds means a ton about his maturity because if he put his head down, gritted his teeth and trained him fucking ass off, maybe Gregg has a change or heart or gives him more of a shot seeing his dedication. Instead he threw a fit and acted more immature.

    And Reyna admitted he didn't respond appropriately, both in training and around the team. And contrary to the word going around, Gregg didn't drag him publically. He was told it was a private dinner and he gave an analogy that didn't mention a player specifically.

    I don't know if I'd call it stupidity from Gregg making the call to not use Reyna much. I already think Gregg isn't a very good coach but coaches have to be allowed to evaluate their team and make a call about who plays. Stuff we don't get to see.
