USA: Giovanni Reyna’s parents denounced Berhalter’s attacks on his wife by the 31-year-old
Giovanni Reyna’s mother claimed she told FBI agents about Greg Berhalter’s attack on his wife in 1991 because the US Federal Returning Commissioner had reduced her son.
The investigation commissioned by the US soccer association into the behavior of its people at the expense of third parties develops into a soap opera.
On Tuesday, the selection of the national team, Gregor Belhalter, he admitted in a statement that he had assaulted his then-girlfriend and later (and to date) wife Rosalind, but both got over the incident. He also complained that during the World Cup there had been a corresponding information from someone to the federation “in order to bring himself down”.
A day later, the mother of one of Berhalter’s US internationals, Giovanni Reyna, revealed in a lengthy statement that she had informed national team athletic director Ernie Stewart about what happened in 1991.
According to Daniele Reyna, she found out about the incident at the time because she was Rosalind’s roommate, teammate and friend. In fact, he added that he forgave Berhalter over time and they became family friends. Her action to expose the 31-year-old’s incident comes as Berhalter in a statement exposed Reyna, who was unhappy over the short time and had taken a public stand on it.
Reyna argued that Berhalter should forgive this teenage mistake, as happened to him, but denied she asked for his removal from the US national team’s technical lead.
Her husband Claudio Reyna, who was a teammate of Berhalter both in youth (coached by his father Miguel Reyna) and on the US national team, followed suit in a statement to the Athletic. Reina and father of the Dortmund midfielder is said to have been Berhalter’s best man at his wedding to Rosalind.
Berhalter’s contract expired on December 31 and it appears the US FA will not renew it, at least until the case is resolved.

Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

National team’s home matches abroad: Shevchenko surprises with spending figures
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Martinez explains why Ronaldo is still irreplaceable in the national team
Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
