Summary

We taped Episode 2.186 on Sunday night just as news of Berhalter's off-the-record convo about "a player" at WC22 started picking up steam and reports of him asking individual players to vote on whether to send Gio Reyna home began circulating. We did the best we could trying to process the info we had in real time but ultimately, especially after conflicting reports debunking certain elements and a statement from Reyna himself emerged on Monday, we felt it important tape an EMERGENCY UPDATE on Monday offering some more nuanced thoughts (and calling out some Mikey Mouse reporting) on the situation in the hopes of better outlining our thoughts on what this means for Reyna, Berhalter and the future of USMNT.

0:17.4

a lot in the last eight, you know, 12 hours since we taped the podcast and then we were

0:23.2

basically learning things as we were taping the podcast yesterday, which was on Sunday.

0:29.0

This is on Monday. We've now learned that the player vote, the quote unquote player vote

0:35.6

reported by Jason McIntyre of Fox, did not happen. There was no 13 to 12, you know, the

0:43.2

players individually were like, you know, doing some sort of survivor voting, you know,

0:48.6

Geo on or off the island. That did not happen. What we've also learned is we got an update

0:54.8

from Geo himself who said, we admit it that Greg told him before the World Cup that he

1:02.6

was going to be quote unquote very limited in the in the tournament and he admits to reacting

1:09.2

poorly, misbehaving and then basically he was forced to apologize. It was seemingly accepted

1:16.8

by the team and seemingly water under the bridge until all of a sudden Greg basically aired

1:25.6

the dirty laundry. Now granted, it was at a conference that was supposed to be off the record.

1:32.8

But let's be honest, is anything off the record in the year 2022 of our year of our Lord?

1:40.2

Anyway, so that is the update on how things have gone. So we need to, I don't know, we need

1:47.1

to clear the air a little bit and because I don't want to be part of this sort of misinformation

1:52.8

circle. Are you are you clearing the air? Is that what you're doing? You're sorting all this

1:56.5

out. You're going to you're going to you're going to find out exactly where the cheese lies

2:01.3

on all this. And who's lying? Who's telling the truth? We're getting to the bottom right

2:04.5
