Getting older. Don't want to see the kid getting injured. Not happy with the minutes that CP was playing at 18 either. Or Wes.
https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020...reyna-should-be-us-mens-national-team-starter As buzz around Reyna’s potential inclusion has swelled, Reyna offered a “no comment” to reports that Argentina is also interested in his services.
It's a clipped quote. Reyna apparently said "no comment" and then said something like "I'm focused on the United States." To me, at least, full context makes this a non-story.
Donovan wasn't ready right? Pulisic wasn't ready right? JOB wasn't ready right? haven't we been down this path before? if you are good enough - you are good enough
I always try to think of how they can be combined. I had Pulisic down for the 10 spot but that how changes with Reyna being better than Pulisic in that particular skill. Hwvr, we are drifting into off topic if we talk of them as a "team", Have to stick to who is "better" player under rules of BS. So we can discuss if cherry pie is better than blueberry but not if cherry pie goes better with whipped cream or ice cream or bernaise sauce Edit: There is a Gio national team discussion in N&A https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/g...cussion-from-ya.2108471/page-14#post-38517490
I think many on this board have forgotten that this happened to CP at BVB, though CP turned out to be a good player.
Reyna is the real deal. Only injury can stop him. The kid is amazingly skilled and is getting an unreal opportunity at Dortmund to show his chops and continue development with other excellent teammates (coach is a dork still). Where will he be in 2-3 years? Hopefully not nursing his second groin injury for 7 months.
Yeah. That was a rookie move. Like when your friend comments on how well you are doing in a video game. Must be a plant.
lol Ornstein: England watch Dortmund’s Reyna, Guendouzi trouble, VAR apology https://theathletic.com/1628620/202...a-guendouzi-arteta-var/?source=shared-article
Yeah that would seem to be an important detail. Didn’t realize Gio spent a whole 5 years after birth in England though, and Claudio/Danielle could well have had landed status (this is basically the UK green card, right?) Anyway Berhalter needs to call him up ASAP because 1) the team needs him and 2) Sancho, Guerreiro, and Balerdi could be putting funny ideas in his head lol
It really depends on if Claudio got the status AND Gio applied for citizenship. Given that everyone said he moved to Dortmund on a Portuguese passport I don't think he had it. Anyway from the Home Office's website.This is assuming that either Claudio (got German citizenship) or Danielle (Portuguese through her father) were EU citizens instead of applying for UK settled status. This is specific to people born in the six year window that Gio was born in the UK: Most children of EU or EEA citizens born between 2 October 2000 and 29 April 2006 are not automatically British citizens. You’re automatically a British citizen if when you were born all of the following applied to at least one of your parents: they had citizenship of a country that was in the EU or the EEA at the time they lived in the UK they had ‘indefinite leave to remain’ (ILR), ‘right of abode’ or ‘right of re-admission’ You might also be a British citizen if your parent or their family member died or stopped working before you were born. And then this would apply to Gio based on whether his parents had some sort of settled status. It's extremely unlikely that they were citizens when he was born: You’re automatically a British citizen if when you were born at least one of your parents lived in the UK and had one of the following: indefinite leave to remain (ILR) right of abode right to re-admission Your parent would have been able to live and work in the UK without restrictions if they had any of these statuses. Indefinite leave to remain (ILR) ILR is not usually a status you get automatically - your parent would have applied for it before getting it. If your parent has ILR, they will usually have one of the following to prove it: a stamp in their passport a letter from the Home Office a ‘vignette’ (sticker) a biometric residence permit Right of abode Your parent may have got right of abode automatically if they were a British national or from a Commonwealth country - they will not have applied for it. If your parent has ‘right of abode’, they’ll usually have either: a UK passport describing them as a ‘British citizen’ or ‘British subject with right of abode’ a non-UK passport with a ‘certificate of entitlement to the right of abode’ Find out more about right of abode. Right to re-admission Your parent may have got right to re-admission automatically if they were from a Commonwealth country - they will not have applied for it. If your parent has ‘right to re-admission’, they’ll usually have a passport that says they’re ‘entitled to readmission to the United Kingdom’. Permanent residence status Your parent will usually have got permanent residence status automatically if both the following apply: they were from an EU or EEA country they lived in the UK for 5 years and were working, studying, self-sufficient or looking for work here Your parent does not need to have applied for a permanent residence document to have permanent residence status. Find out more about permanent residence status. So yeah I'm not really sure where this puts Gio, but my understanding is if his parents NEVER became UK citizens, any benefits towards becoming a citizen from being born in England are still dependent on all the factors above. Otherwise he would have to get in the back of the line like everyone else. It's silly though because he's not going to play for England.
Thought the Athletic was better than this. And, in general, the European press seems to overlook the fact that Gio's mother is also a former US International.
