I'm starting to get the impression that maybe Gio isn't very good. I'm trying to remember the last U.S. Men's highly-touted prospect who did more than underwhelm.
In other news, Claudio is a great guy:
Claudio Reyna said it was 'embarrassing' to have a female ref' in a 2018 game involving his son Gio | Daily Mail Online

'We obtained an email from Mr. Reyna in July 2018, in which Mr. Reyna stated, ''Field, referee everything!! So embarrassing all the way around.'' Mr. Reyna sent a follow-up email that stated: ''And in all honest [sic] can we get real and have male refs for a game like this. Its embarrassing guys. What are we trying to prove? A game like this deserves bett[e]r attention.'''
