Just heard on the Men in Blazers podcast that Gio Reyna wasn't fit at the 2022 WC.

That is probably the reason the manager didn't play Reyna, not some beef with the family. Reyna supposedly didn't train for whatever reason, didn't take it seriously enough?

Supposedly he hasn't played much for Dortmund yet this season, again may not be fit enough to take a large role.

Was good to see Gio out there. Dest is pretty garbage though, unfortunately.
Germany are better than US…plain and simple
