RIP Pele

RIP Pele

the original undisputed GOAT. And the only of the top 3 I saw play live (albeit before I was able to process what I was seeing and long after his prime).

My grandfather saw him play in 1960 in Antwerp, and he said he was the best.

I would imagine he was thinking about the most money . . . I wonder if he even knows where in the US KC is?

Well he said he was going to retire with Dignity, so I can only assume one of the 11 starters on that club is named Dignity.

Not going to lie. I enjoyed that month without having to watch Spurs underperform week in and week out.

Conte is a much less accomplished Jose Mourinho and I can’t wait for him to leave after the year.

If the facts in the RT are true it definitely seems like Gio’s mom would have been the one to threaten to expose him. Has a reason to have a beef with Gregg and would know the details behind a story from 30+ years ago that only a friend of a couple at the time would know.

i horsefeathering knew this horsefeathers was gio related

[wolf stansson]

This sucks because I don’t want Gio to become a toxic figure in the national team.


Also, this is yet another reason why they should hire someone with no prior connections to us soccer. Too much institutional entitlement among the old guard/players.

[Elon Musk]

so it was claudio and his wife, as expected, who dropped the berhalter stuff. hopefully this doesn't affect Gio's role in the squad longterm ... he horsefeathers up because he's a kid, there's no excuse for how the adults are handling this stuff

[wolf stansson]

Eric Wynalda comes out looking the best of everyone involved in the Gio reporting.

my 'not trying to get a coach fired after my kid got benched by sharing 30 year old domestic violence incidents with the federation' shirt is generating a lot of questions answered by the shirt

I wish Boers and Bernstein's "Who you crappin?" was still a thing because this would be a perfect entry.

From what I've read Gregg and Claudio grew up playing travel soccer together starting in grade school. They've known each other for years and were reportedly good friends (and obviously longtime teammates with the USMNT). Seems like a weird decision to torch that friendship and hurt your son's status on the team for...reasons. Absolutely no one involved comes out looking good from this story.

These damn nepo babies are out of control



Seriously though, Gio needs to get his horsefeathers together and create some boundaries with his parents. Claudio & Danielle need to take this L.

i know everyone is telling the version of the story that is most favorable to them so you gotta take it all with a grain of salt, but i will say that danielle reyna's statement to the athletic seemed a little more believable to me than straight up helicopter parents trying to take down the coach who wouldn't play their son

ultimately, if gio just keeps his head down, it will all come out in the wash, but all the drama needs to stop now, for his sake

[wolf stansson]

Kind of tough to credit Danielle Reyna for the best intentions when Claudio let an accused abuser of women return to Austin FC after a two week suspension. Where was this energy last spring for Cecilio Dominguez? This is all selfish and petty as hell. You’re treating the World Cup like it’s a weekend youth club tournament and I don’t think that would have been the case if the coach in question didn’t have such a long personal history with them.


They ain’t calling the Dortmund brass if Edin Terzic criticizes Gio in public. It’s the over-familiarity of having three former teammates running the national team. Crazy sense of entitlement. They also might have disrupted GGG’s best shot at a European club job, which is a profound setback for his career & earning potential.

[wolf stansson]

Oh I forgot about how David Villa was accused of sexually harassing a female NYCFC employee with no consequences when Claudio was running that club too.

[stitchface]

Really, the Reynas look the worst in this non-story.

[soccer10k]

Have we seen any names mentioned as a realistic option for next coach if it’s not Berhalter?
