Talk:Giovanni Reyna

WC controversy
Is the bit about the WC controversy & his parents’ actions really relevant here? Sure let’s keep the part about poor training, but the rest should go on Danielle and Claudio’s pages. 2603:8000:E102:1CDB:9C85:FBA4:AF16:8AAC (talk) 21:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose - my Google search gives me 6.99 million for 'Giovanni Reyna', 4.64 million for 'Gio Reyna'. GiantSnowman 14:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per Forest site and the above, I think the article is still at the correct title. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:10, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Is he really one of the best young players?
A 2022 article by an American sports company about an American could (probably not though) be considered biased, and he is not so young anymore plus not very good right now. 115.70.87.192 (talk) 09:00, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Regardless of the sourcing for this claim, I do wonder at what point we remove the claim from the lead, as it seems to be a constant point of consternation among some editors. I think there is a legitimate conversation to be had here on when he becomes "too old" for this to be included. Or perhaps rephrased to "once considered one of the best young players" instead. Would rather have that conversation here than in random edit summaries. I will note that the references used cite U21 or U20, so we should probably consider removing it at the latest when he turns 22. Jay eyem (talk) 23:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree. I think the obstinate and highly opinionated way in which this passage has been deleted has led to the conversation never actually taking place—indeed, the comment that began this conversation is nothing short of a perfect example of that. In my view—and it is entirely my view—the age of 24 is when a player exits the "youth" category and enters the "adult" category. My reasoning, of course, is that upon reaching the age of 24, a player is no longer eligible for any youth football/soccer national team. So I would say that when Reyna reaches 24, we delete this passage, as it will no longer be relevant. Anwegmann (talk) 23:28, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It might be worth keeping an eye on new "best young players" articles as well to see if he still gets included. I personally agree in that I think of U23 as the cutoff for "young players" but I want to make sure our sources reflect that. I am sure we can revisit that when the time comes.
