Is Gios mom the queen to helicopter parents? The ultimate Karen?

Feeling some sympathy for Gregg here. He just wanted to coach soccer for his country and look at what kind of **** he has to deal with.

**** like this is why we are never going to progress as a footballing nation.

The weirdest part to me, is that I didn't even really think anything Gregg said shed Gio in that bad of a light. Most of the respected voices I listen to and/or converse with said it just sounded like Gio was a 19-year old kid. Gio would've been just fine in the long run.

Hopefully(though unlikely) some parts of US Soccer will realize this is also what happens when your highest positions are all taken by inner circle people. This fracture is sad, and arguably bigger than '98, as someone who did ultimately want Berhalter replaced, it all just feels so dirty now.

Its a "good ol boys club"

Another reason it needs to reform and not be such a closed system

This has been the problem with USSF for a very long time, and anyone that’s come along wanting to make big changes has been booted out the door

On the bright side….you haven’t really arrived on a national scale until you’ve had a good scandal.

The absurdity is roughly proportional to the absurdity of some of Berhalter's decisions...so, par for the course, perhaps, for these spoiled nitwits.

USSF continues to be a tone-deaf embarrassment.
