Klinsmann: "Reyna-Berhalter spat 'sad' for US soccer"

The Americans finished second in Group B behind England, but were eliminated after a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands in the last 16. After, stories emerged of a rift between coach Berhalter and the Reyna family, who admitted to pressuring US officials with details about Berhalter's past.

Klinsmann, who managed the US team from 2011 to 2016, said the highly publicised feud was "sad to see": "From a fan perspective and a supporter perspective, all that we hope to see is that when you go into a tournament, that every piece of energy is saved for the team. Looking at it now, it seems that was not the case. They had problems and they were not able to solve them, and it might have had an influence (on the team's performance)."

Borussia Dortmund forward Reyna, was hardly used by Berhalter in Qatar.
