Berhalter vs. Reyna: A Scandal Rocks American Soccer

Family Feud Turns Public

The world of American soccer was rocked on January 4, when ESPN revealed the identities of the individuals who had reported a domestic violence incident involving former USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter and his then-girlfriend, Rosalind Berhalter, in 1991. The culprits: Danielle Reyna, wife of former USMNT captain Claudio Reyna, and Rosalind Berhalter's mother.

The incident sparked a public feud between the two families, who were once close friends. Gregg Berhalter claimed that the Reynas had reported the incident in retaliation for him making Claudio Reyna's son, Gio, a substitute during the World Cup. The Reynas, on the other hand, deny this and say they were motivated by a desire to protect Gio, who was struggling with mental health issues.

The scandal has divided the American soccer community and raised questions about the future of Gregg Berhalter's coaching career. It is a story of betrayal, revenge, and the high stakes of elite sports.
