that’d be phil taylor, the greatest ever (won 14 of the last 25 world championships). he’s from my town! and you may be thinking of simon whitlock, the aussie number 1 for many years (although overtaken recently), actually won them the darts world cup for the first time in 2022.

Who was the other kind of short older man that was always in the finals. Felt like any time I saw darts on sports channel there he was. This bald guy MVG, also some dude with a either braided beard or long rat tail.

Reply to Danielle Reyna told U.S. Soccer about past Gregg Berhalter domestic violence incident by Dann610

Wow this whole thing is getting messy. I wasn't a fan of Berhalter and wanted the team to move on from him for a number of reasons:

  • Lack of goal scoring - well he left Pefok and Pepi off the roster. I understand leaving Pepi off because of his age and lack of experience but Pefok was much better than most forwards on the team. He was at least better then Wright and Ferreira.

  • His handling of Reyna. He shouldn't have made the benching public even though he thought it was off the record.

To leak what they did about Berhalter though is just classless and low. This could possibly affect his livelihood and career in coaching, not just his tenure with the USMNT.

2 (or multiple) wrongs don't make a right, Gio was immature in how he handled the benching/lack of playing time and Berhalter shouldn't have made it public but Danielle Reyna took it to a whole other level.

Reply to comment by ubyselnuketang in US Soccer reveals investigation involving manager Gregg Berhalter. by PrincessBananas85

More info has come out. Gio Reyna’s mom spilled the beans because of Gregg’s comment about Gio after the WC.

Peak helicopter mom and not good for anyone involved.

Danielle Reyna said in a statement on Wednesday: "I thought it was especially unfair that Gio, who had apologized for acting immaturely about his playing time, was still being dragged through the mud when Gregg had asked for and received forgiveness for doing something so much worse at the same age."
