Why do you feel bad for Claudio he contributed to this situation and if I was his Dad I would of told him when he tweaked his hammy in March to withdraw your name from consideration because you will not be healthy enough to play at the level that is expected and at 24 you will be guaranteed a spot and you will not have the qualification strain on your body. That is what a dad who knows what is expected in the World Cup should of told his son.
Constant is young Diva players who think they know what is best and do not want to earn anything. Imagine these kids trying to play for Antonio Conte Son was crying that he got benched for Richarilson WTF players need to show up shut there mouth and show the coach they want to be on the team
He was a slacker nit giving 110% on the practice pitch and during a friendly with a Qatari Club team.
Honestly, who cares. That’s a terrible reason not to give your team the best chance to win in the World Cup.
Team leaders noticed it also. Maybe read the articles and get all the subtext before jumping to assumptions.
Not sure what assumption I jumped to but ok.
Yedlin cared and well I don’t really care what Yedlin thinks. I made allusions to this back over the summer, but there’s been a divide between the class Euros and the MLSers at least in terms of tactics for awhile now.
Tend to agree, no reason to out this story so soon. It's not quite burning a bridge, but it's also not making new friends either.
You stated that it is a terrible reason to bench the player for lack of effort on the training ground than playing him which gives your team a better chance at victory. I guess you missed the memo that how you practice dictates your performance. My son's HS/Travel lacrosse coach has always had this policy if you do not work hard in practice you will be sitting for the game no matter the importance of the game; because the player is not bigger than the collective whole of the game.
Obviously they killed one of their own to cover up Wahl's murder [/conspiracy]
Fair enough. But once you say "there's no level of team performance that change my mind on GGG" there's not really a lot to talk about.
Oh ok. I’ve read that - some of the later comments in this thread made it seem like we later found out he killed someone’s dog or something.

is Yedlin a class euro
one year as a spur probably ruined that
To put a finer point on it, I've maintained for awhile that once you have numerous guys that have been exposed to Euro style tactics and coaching at the highest level, they're at best agnostic to tactics/coaches not at that level. One of the aspects to GGG's entire coaching time has been this divide especially since a number of the guys never came up through MLS. I don't think it should be lost that a number of these guys have now been coached by coaches who are at the top of the profession. Whether that ever gets verbalized is another matter (my guess is that it doesn't and you end up with Reyna incidents), but you can bet that that dynamic is at play between the players and GGG.is Yedlin a class euro

No, I'm saying we are only getting one perspective of what happened and a colored one at that. I'd much rather hear CP's or Adams' or Dest's have to say than GGG.To put a finer point on it, I've maintained for awhile that once you have numerous guys that have been exposed to Euro style tactics and coaching at the highest level, they're at best agnostic to tactics/coaches not at that level.

I am not sure I understand this.
If we assume the reports of what Gio did are true, are you saying Gio did this as a protest against GGG not being a good coach? Or are you saying Gio does not respect GGG enough to actually try in a friendly?
Either way, I don't have any idea how that makes Reyna right in this case.
GGG can be a poor coach and Gio can be a problem child. Those two things are not mutually exclusive by any means.
As an aside, I can probably point out a 1000 top players over the years who have problems in Europe with coaches at the top of their profession.
It happens in every sport.
it really makes sense for this generation of humans, not just athletes, that they shut down when told anything negative. it used to be you tell someone that they are on the outside looking in and they get motivated to prove you wrong and don’t sulk about it but those days are gone and coaches need to adapt.
You're a guy with an injury history who worked hard to be fit for the WC and then are told you won't be playing much if at all before practices/scrimmages, but you know give it 110% against some scrub Qatari club side and risk injury again. Yeah, sure. Frankly that's as big as a misstep from GGG as releasing this info.
I am curious about this as well, along with why he wasn't planning on playing Gio?
