USMNT - The Berhalter Era

In passing or not, you can’t expect mentioning something to someone’s superior to not have ramifications. In fact, I’d wager that the intent was specifically to cause Gregg problems.
I agree, but you also have to understand the dynamics of the relationship. In her mind, Earnie, Claudio, Triple G, and all of their spouses are all close friends. She wasn't having the conversation with a superior in her mind....I'm guessing.
