Iran-US 1998 oral history
This story discusses the Harkes-Wynalda shite and much more. Great read.

Also, I know this is a Reyna thread, but Yedlin and Moore combining for 3 sub appearances and Scally not getting a sniff is criminal. Can't believe it with the way the other two have performed. I was a Nashville season ticket holder and I do not want to see Shaq for a long time with the nats

He's not injured. He just doesn't do much on the field. He can help with possession in the Midfield but can be selfish and try to take guys on and lose possession and set you up for counters. Also doesn't provide much defensively. He's been pretty bad for Dortmund and he always leaves games injured.

He doesn’t do much on the field is your take….can’t tell if trolling
Link to YouTube of what he can do on the field (this was vs Mexico)
Gio vs Mexico

We could have cut the amount of minutes Iran was bombarding us nearly in half if we would have simply continued to possess the ball at an average rate innthe 2nd half.
Instead, we dug in and legitimately tried to give the game away. I can’t believe Iran didn’t score.

Agreed
I liked Aaronson at 45, Acosta for Weston was okay too.
I hated the Haji and Shaq moves. Shaq is so out of his depth. Use Scally instead or at least Yedlin
Haji was abysmal. No pressing and taking that moronic shot when he could have stalled for 45-50 seconds

Any half decent coach knows when your controlling the game you continue to control the game and eat up possession. You just keep recycling the ball and only take a shot if your pretty certain you’ll score. It does so many positive things for you especially in a tournament (mostly saving legs)
I could see if we were playing Argentina, England, a top 5 team if we tried to bunker in the closing minutes.
However inviting pressure against a slightly weaker opponent, in a game we have dominated is all but trying to throw the game.

Couldn’t agree more. He pulled all 10 guys into the final third. Typically even when you bunker you try and leave a guy high to keep them honest at the back and counter them from throwing everyone in the box.

You really don't think I've seen this play.
Is this play the only thing you know about Reyna?

He's actually perfect if you are trying to bunker because he can take players on and will likely earn a foul. Aaronson was so useful for this during the game just because he was able to dribble past players and force them to foul him, which relieved pressure and allowed the defensive line to move up the field. We wouldn't need him to win the ball, all he would have to do is press.

I guess Haji was in over Ferreira for heading purposes? Ferreira certainly wouldn't have helped there, but he's got an incredible work rate! We needed that

I remember when Sampson left John Harkes off our team in 98. Easily a top 5-10 talent in our entire country at the time. The player and coach hated each other and couldn’t get past it. I feel like some of that is going on with Reyna and CB.
Well, that's just not what happened. Smashing a teammate's girl is not exactly great for chemistry, bro.

We were creating change after chance when Iran’s primary focus was keeping us from scoring. We almost certainly would have had a lot of great chances if we had not bunkered once Iran started throwing people forward.
I don’t want to take anything away from the players, because for the most part they played in a way we should be proud of, but damn we were just lucky not to draw that game once Gregg decided to play for a 1-0 win.

Yes I really do. When you say ignorant things you get treated like you are ignorant.
Look at my post history and tell me if you think that’s the only thing I know about Reyna.
I assume you know nothing about him considering you said he can’t do much on the field. Anytime you have the skill to beat guys on the dribble you are going to not win a few of them.
Someone who has the skill to do that on the international stage less than a year ago isn’t useless on the field in any situation. So your argument is kind of dumb.

Yeah, overall I rate them ab the same. Wasn’t impressed with Haji vs England so I was hoping to see Ferreira.
I need to just start hoping the opposite of what I want as far as GB tactical changes. It seems that’s what he always does.

You didnt say shite but post a link. Dispute anything I said about his play at Dortmund this season. I'll sit back and wait because your arse probably hasn't watched 1 match.

Don't have to look anything up. You have the opportunity to explain yourself right here.

Might as bring Luca de la Torre on also then.

It's 1 play where the end result was him losing the ball. It's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. Who do you want Greg to take off and in what situation do you want them taken off?

This is the most interesting post I’ve seen in this whole saga. Is it really just that Gregg doesn’t rate Gio? That would be the Occam’s razor explanation that made sense of all of this.
Says he’s not fit, to not have to say he doesn’t rate him.
Expects Gio to go along with it to save face.
Gio and Claudio and Wynalda don’t go along with it because they think Gregg is wrong.
Subs him in for late action to give him a chance.
Refuses to play him in a game where possession would have been very valuable.

I posted a link that directly refuted your claim that he can’t do anything on the field.
I don’t follow the bundesliga religiously, I watch the premiere league. but I have seen some dortmund champions league games and usually watch all the CL highlights. I have seen enough of him play to know he would be useful in any of these games.

If you would have read my post history I’ve said it multiple times tonight. But since you’re all high and mighty. And ain’t looking up shite jack I’ll explain it specifically for you.
You’re already dominating a game. You don’t switch to a defensive formation with 20 minutes remaining. You’re inviting pressure at that point. As our MLS CBs have already demonstrated they aren’t the most graceful in the box.
I would have pulled my fullback back. Never more than one making an attacking run at a time and continue to recycle the ball in Irans half. Like we were doing before but with 75% less attempts at goal.
I would have put Gio in for anyone. Musah, Weah, Sargent and play him as a false 9. He is someone who can carry the ball into the final third. Take guys on and create opportunities. The last 20 minutes of the game we saw none of that.
GB brought everyone back behind the ball and invites chance after chance for 20 minutes and it saw the ball get behind Matt Turner at one point. We won that game in spite of our coach…not bc of him.

The 3rd sentence in my post I said he can help in possession.

So why are you In here arguing with me when I'm discussing his current form when you don't even watch the league he plays in. Smh.

Good idea and I agree with this.

I still just cannot accept the way Gregg tried to screw up the end of that game completely unacceptable and embarrassing
