Men’s soccer has officially arrived in the U.S.—the nation’s lengthy, public World Cup postmortem is the surest sign.
Veteran center back Tim Ream became the latest to chime in on the Americans’ experience in Qatar, pronouncing controversy over manager Gregg Berhalter’s handling of Gio Reyna a “non-story.” Reyna’s lack of playing time was a constant point of contention during the U.S.’s run, which ended in defeat to the Netherlands in the round of 16.
"We dealt with it in camp, things moved on, we moved past it and that’s where we are," Ream said. "The players, there was no vote. So we can put that to bed."
