World Cup 2022 and politics (R)

Hey, if Walter Zenga could coach, literally NO ONE is unqualified.

 

Incidentally. . . Zenga is currently available.

 

Sad thing is you saw something ridiculous like that but in the back of your mind with this F'd up organization you thought "that's quite feasible"

 

I'm sure he is... and it will always be so

 

If one disgruntled soccerdad can turn over a whole apple cart, nothing is off limits.

I swear, Gio Reyna wouldn't get another callup if I were the new manager. Ain't nobody got no responsibility to pacify Claudio. His brat ain't good enough to be the diff between an R16 loss and a QF loss anyway

 

JabberJaw & his UNC wife basically took Overbearing Soccer Parenting to the international level. Which would be shocking if you didn't know how incestuous the USSF is.

 

I actually looked him up. He's been employed alarmingly often. I'd only know about coaching Wolves in 2016, but he's had several other jobs through this century (which should tell us all we need to know).

 

Did y'all see that Claudio has done this sort of thing before?

I missed this when @ByDougMcIntyre reported it last week and I see Sam has it separately confirmed today:

Claudio Reyna "previously tried to influence then-U.S. under-17 national team head coach Raphael Wicky regarding his treatment of Gio at the 2019 U-17 World Cup." https://t.co/0Ou89F3YsH

I had not!

 

Glad you’re not the coach, I don’t think a player (or the squad) should suffer for the sins of the parents. And Berhalter handled it pretty poorly in the first place.

And considering this brat just got two game winning goals after coming on as a sub for his club…he definitely has diff making potential.

 

. . . as a sub, which is the role that pissed them off in the first place.

I don't mean to counter your main point, I just find the context of his spree funny.

 

I like your sense of humor

 

I’m hoping with the busting up of the good ol’ boys’ club at USSF that it becomes less of an issue. If Claudio’s buddies hadn’t been the ones in positions of importance it’s likely none of this would’ve happened in the first place.

 

I think the Reynas might establish citizenship in a gulf state where Gio can be the star of the national team.

 

The life of a mod.

 

Nice writeup on Des Armstrong

If this score holds, would this be the right place to make fun of Sounders fans?

 

Well MLS had to wait like 20 years for this.

 

The Fire scored the exact same number of goals in the FIFA Club World Cup as Seattle, but ended with a better goal differential.

The difference is we KNOW we suck.

 

Incidentally, Al Ahly works at my local bowling alley

 

That's why I'm not going to trash-talk him on this.

I mean, good God, IntheNet would be smart enough to to get someone laughed out of this forum. No one is going to rip on the Sounders for this




Especially when there are hundreds of other things to mke fun of Sounders Supporters about...

 

Jesse Marsch sacked at Leeds. Will the clown show that is the USSF offer him the job?
