Of course it is a dirty move, and as I said the response to her hitting him is perhaps disproportionate, but that still doesn’t change the fact she assaulted him and initiated this fight. So characterizing it as Berhalter assaulting her and being a women-beater is more than a little silly.

He also kicked her in the upper leg twice. She did not seek medical attention because she wasn’t injured. This wasn’t him kicking her and breaking her ribs, or kicking her in the face or something along those lines.

Do y’all actually want a 20 year old (with an insane family like his) who behaves like this at the world cup on your team?



What an entitled little twat.
This goes back to the story that apparently he was told he wasn't going to feature much at all in Qatar, as in Berhalter told him before those specific dates. Not defending his reaction, but that was poor man management from Berhalter.

BLM, Neo Feminisim, Wokism, Cancel Culture = regression of the West and pussification and emasculation of society.
Thanks for your input, Putin.

I don’t know enough about Berhalter to judge him, but I’d agree that isn’t the best man-management. Still, the kid clearly has grown up a spoiled little twat with helicopter parents who have attacked his coaches at every level he’s played at any time things aren’t going well, and that’s rubbed off on Gio from what I can see. The kid had just turned 20 a few days before the World Cup and had a lot of growing to do, and even if the coach says something like that, that should just be incentive to work even harder and prove the coach wrong. Shouldn’t it?

Yeah, I agree. The problem for us is that he's our most talented player right now, and while arrogant, he can really change games. We really need strong leadership here find a manager capable of handling young players such as this, as well as stand up to the Reyna's that this shit isn't going to fly anymore.

The level of entitlement by the Reynas is the embodiment of parents at their kids sports games On any weekend in the burbs.

Very true. It's a very toxic culture sometimes in American sports. If you think soccer is bad, hockey is even worse. Don't know about bball and throwball, but it's probably horrible in the cities.

I played hockey for 13 years. Most toxic parents in sports, by far. Probably in large part because it’s almost exclusively a rich kid sport nowadays with equipment costs being through the roof.

Definitely, plus ice time is very expensive now, too. I played for about the same amount of time in the DC area and got burnt out because of travel and the overall nastiness of it all. Was better at sawker anyway.

Nah bro, that's BadassBall. We talking about real hockey here.

Wow, if he's actually not injured. That's literally hilarious.

Dude pulled out of their U-21s due to injury after not getting the main England squad callup, flew to the US to join their training.
