Gio Reyna’s phenomenal performances in the CONCACAF Nations League semi-finals and finals will propel the team to bigger things in the Copa América this summer.
Reyna was named Best Player of the Tournament with a goal and a pair of assists in the semifinal and final matches.
That included the second goal of the night – sealing the famous 2-0 scoreline and a third Nations League trophy.
“I think it’s good to build momentum,” Reyna said. “I think we’ve been together with our core group for a while and I think we know what it takes to win big games and tournaments, and hopefully we can take that into the Copa America and have a great run there, maybe.” Even lift a trophy.
“It’s a little far down the road, but I just want to enjoy tonight with the guys.”

Reyna’s path to this point hasn’t been the easiest, but she’s enjoying the current moment.
‘The group of guys and the energy we have here is incredible. I always love coming to camp.
‘I really mean it from the bottom of my heart, it’s a great group of guys, and it’s great to work with them and be with them. I really can’t say much more. “I am speechless right now and it is an honor to play with these guys for my country.”
He also praised Tyler Adams, who made his first USMNT start in more than 450 days due to injuries he suffered last year.
‘I love him to death. … I had a tough time due to injuries a few years ago, so I know what it takes and I know how hard it is.
‘I’m very happy for him. He’s a great guy. He’s very important to the team… Obviously, as a player, you saw the performance he put in tonight. Unfortunately, he was on a minutes restriction. I would have loved that. I’m not there any more, but I just love it. I’m very happy for him.’
