I want him on the pitch but him having burned a bridge or two with Berhalter by this point wouldn't surprise me. Just hope he's ready to go by 2026. Its not just Reyna, its Scally too.

November 29, 20223 yr I'm worried enough about Sargent's injury to where Pepi needs to be at the airport now as Haji doesn't need to see another minute this WC.

Yeah obviously Berhalter is an idiot for a lot of reasons, but if Claudio Reyna is causing problems he can fuck right off. Last thing we need is fucking helicopter dads on the national team, lol

I don't think any of it would be an issue if he was able to stay fit over WCQ or for BvB. I'm not saying Gergg ISN'T a dumb cunt for not playing him, because he may well be, just that there could be something going on behind the scenes we aren't privvy to.

November 29, 20223 yr Now that I have seen the replay of the goal that highlighted everyone's position at every touch, all I can say that is a world class beautiful full of skill and hustle goal.
November 29, 20223 yr Random thoughts: The late sub of Shaq Moore was bad. I’m fine if he doesn’t see the pitch. Can we get Aaronson to start? Put Pulisic (if healthy) at the 9. At least Sargent showed a pulse today. I hope his knee didn’t explode. 9 min of stoppage? Fuck all that. Ridiculous

November 29, 20223 yr the game today was too big for weah. he lost his composure inside the box. he played like shit today and deserves to lump in with the 2 other shitheads.

November 30, 20223 yr Daughter said they let the kids watch part of the game in her grade school. Son said same about his high school, and that at lunch break, every table had a group watching the game on a laptop. Pretty, pretty cool.
November 30, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: Pelvic contusion for Pulisic. Day to day So assume he’s a go? I would assume so. I mean he played like 8 minutes to close the half out.

November 30, 20223 yr I had seen 8 am for kick on Saturday but it's actually at 9 am central. In case anyone was wondering. FOX likes to advertise the pregame show as the start time.
November 30, 20223 yr 8 minutes ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: Pelvic contusion for Pulisic. Day to day So assume he’s a go? Quote Contusions Contusions are the most common injury to the hip, thigh, and pelvis. Collisions with other athletes or falls to the ground are the most common cause of contusions. Contusions can be superficial and limited to the subcutaneous tissue, or they can be deep and involve the bone, muscle, and ligaments. When associated with muscle involvement, contusions can result in slow bleeding with significant hematoma formation. Depending on the depth of the contusion and the extent of the injury, symptoms may occur immediately or after a 24- to 48-hour delay. Often, particularly with superficial contusions, treatment is of short duration and is based on the patient’s symptoms. Patients generally have a rapid return to play. With the diagnosis of a deep contusion, however, the treatment period may be extended. Aside from icing, treatment should be delayed 48 hours to ensure that all bleeding has stopped. After 48 hours, treatment with antiinflammatory drugs, heat, massage, and physical therapy is implemented. Rehabilitation should be aimed at maintaining flexibility and muscle mass. Range of motion (ROM) should be monitored because patients are prone to the development of myositis ossificans after sustaining deep contusions involving the muscle. This is is what I found since if I google pelvic contusion most results for me are Cristian Pulisic diagnosed with pelvic contusion.

November 30, 20223 yr I'm watching the England-Wales game and a Wales player is injured and getting treatment. The English fans start playing God Save the King and almost immediately get drowned out by the boos from the Welsh fans. So that seemed fun.

My school (private) had it on in the library with a 1st grade class and other faculty watching and I know of at least another 2nd and 3rd grade rooms that watched at least a half. I was too tense to watch with all those posers that only watch soccer every four years, so had it on in my office. “Where were you for Donovan’s goal vs Algeria, kid?? Oh.

I want him on the pitch but him having burned a bridge or two with Berhalter by this point wouldn't surprise me. Just hope he's ready to go by 2026. I seriously doubt he is a head case*. The guy is 20 years old and very much likely knows exactly how good he is**. And more to the point he very much wants to be on the field for the United States***. The most likely case in all of this is that he is probably dying inside not getting to see the field while feeling that he can be a big difference maker out there (and a lot of fans feel this way too). Berhalter is an idiot with how he has handled this roster from the entire personnel standpoint. From wasting time with guys like Long in WCQ to the whole 9 problems. Gio is just another data point of this. Likely they both have played a role in the drama of how this has gone down. But where Berhalter has been the bigger failure is that he is the coach that is supposed to manage these egos and clearly is failing tremendously. And we've been watching him do it on so many different fronts. Finally given that Reyna is going to be around a lot longer than Gregg, and he is going to be key in any success we want in 2026, he is the more important piece here. * and ** - I don't know Reyna personally, but as a former 20 year old male, I think we all know how these guys can be. *** - he very much has said how much he wants to be part of this team, this is no secret. And playing in the World Cup is something he has dreamed about his whole life.
November 30, 20223 yr Gio needs to play this Saturday and so does Jesus. Wright better not see the field again
