Gio Reyna scores stoppage-time goal for USMNT

sportsJun 13, 20261034,083

Gio Reyna curled a stoppage-time trivela to finish a 4-1 USMNT win over Paraguay in the team’s World Cup opener, celebrating on the pitch with coach Sebastian Berhalter. Folarin Balogun scored twice earlier to put the United States in control, while Christian Pulisic was withdrawn at halftime after a kick to his calf and treated as a precaution. Reyna came on late, absorbed heavy challenges from Paraguay, and his stunning finish highlighted the USMNT’s attacking depth and momentum heading into the group stage.

Pros: Best US performance in a World Cup match in my lifetime, (assuming Pulisic is OK) nobody got hurt, system looked great, probably could have scored six Cons: this is me

Just watched a man literally flip a coin on a moving train and unblock a contact labeled Gio Reyna and text them "hey" with a slutty amount of Ys

Pros: Gio is the best player in the USMNT history to be the bench guy we can’t trust but also can’t help falling in love with

I counted 27 passes. Incredible.

Jared Wade5

Funny part is (I think) Pepi coming up to steal the initial pass to Berhalter that he likely would have let fly at goal

Ridiculous strike with the side foot

Richards 83 completed passes are the most passes with 100% accuracy by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966. #usmnt

Gio Reyna just said his wife, Chloe, is pregnant. Seriously. He'd been waiting for the right moment to announce it, and decided this — a goal in the World Cup opener — was it.

Lot of quality finishing lately.

Not only that, by the way. Gio Reyna credited his wife and parents with giving some advice that inspired his majestic goal:

another mark in Pochettino's favor -- being a big enough deal to give not a shit about what anyone in US soccer thinks that he could just come in and choose Reyna and choose Seb Berhalter and be like whatever that's dumb I don't care I want the good soccer players

Christian Pulisic: “I just got a bit of a kick in the first half. I’m hoping that it’s nothing taking precaution.” “Back of my leg sort of my calf area. Staying positive, I don’t think it’s anything.” #USMNT
