Talk about Germany
Gregg Berhalter, coach of the United States, spoke after losing to Germany and acknowledged that to face a world power we have to "be more active and less preventive".
"Germany has a very good offensive structure and is a very patient team, that by nature lowers the pace of the game, and when you look at the distances in our game, the intensity and the speed, everything was low.
There is conflict
Gio Reyna is back with the U.S. national team and is aiming to get his first minutes in Gregg Berhalter's second stint as coach of the USMNT in this afternoon's match between the Stars and Stripes and Germany.
It all began in January of this year when U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter confessed that members outside of US Soccer had threatened the coach with disclosure of information that he had assaulted his wife by kicking her legs after a few drinks in a bar four months after they began dating in 1991.
Shortly thereafter, the doubt was cleared up. Reyna's parents were the ones who threatened the coach.
