So basically when I posted that Reyna is a diva and being a brat and got scolded here...I was right?

The story is now updated with a quote from Gio Reyna's agent.https://t.co/mP50SfSejg pic.twitter.com/sEHXLLYRYu

I thought the same, pretty good, but not phenomenal. He wasn't very charismatic, I never understood his leadership style other than being tenured, as compared to someone like Bocanegra and Bradley and Donovan and Dempsey and so many other captains.OregonAggie said:aggiephoenix02 said:I never cared for Claudio…MookieBlaylock said:Pahdz said:

What was it about him that you didn't like? Just curious.
I thought the dude was pretty good player but not necessarily phenomenal.
Exactly.

Y'all think Kobe was easy to get along with? Easy to coach?
I know y'all watched The Last Dance. MJ was nearly impossible to get along with.
I've heard stories about Dempsey nearly fighting teammates.
Like it or not, it's what made them great.
Gio is different. https://t.co/aier4r4OHi
Maybe young, immature Gio viewed Ggg as the fool...birdman said:
And the answer to that question is YES.
Kobe Bryant was easy to coach. Michael Jordan was easy to coach. They wanted to win and were willing to work hard. They didn't get mad at teammates because they couldn't play to their level. (few could). But if a teammate was dogging it, they buried them.
Gio is not MJ. Gio is the bench warmer that Jordan would run off the team because he didn't suffer fools. If you weren't doing everything in your power to win, find the door.
What 20 yr old isn't a dumbass? I don't know spoiled or entitled is the right word, but he's basically been on his own since 16 or 17 living abroad - probably, cockiness is a better word. I do wonder about his aloofness and how the loss of older brother as a child effected him and if he feels like he's playing for 2 people instead of 1.aggiephoenix02 said:
Of course he did, he's a dumbass, spoiled, entitled child…
Nothing but country, which is all I care about. I trust Gregg. I'm sure my point of view is colored by my dislike of his father, and having seen Gio's limited success with his time on the USMNT.KCup17 said:
Do you watch him play for club or just country?
Again this is based on covering him in the Bundesliga. Never a hint of anything other than a normal (but promising) young professional player going about his business at a big club. Obviously can’t speak for the #USMNT situation as I don’t inhabit that world.

To clarify the story going around re: Gio

There was NO player vote taken regarding his status with the team. The storyline of “13-12” is wrong confirmed to me just moments ago.
There was a vote among the staff who worked for GB including fitness personnel & asst coaches.

I just don't understand Gregg at all. Why in the world would he feel like sharing this would be beneficial for him, the team, or Gio? What is the upside of dealing with this?
Players are not going to want to play for Gregg anymore, if they do something wrong is he going to run to the media with it? Dealing with things in house means keeping it in house.
Stuff like this might leak out over time, an asst Coach or player might let it slip. But the head coach the week after you get eliminated? Absolutely moronic.
