Claudio Reyna will continue to play for Manchester City
Claudio Reyna timed his departure well from the international scene, possibly pre-empting quite a bit of criticism on his performance. It was not really the swansong that he was looking for having given up a goal on a hustle play by Ghana’s Haminu Dramani, injuring himself during the incident, and then being carried off the field on a stretcher. An image that probably will endure for a long time. Reyna had his moments with the 2002 World Cup team that went all the way to the quarterfinals. A benchmark feat that in retrospect, was responsible for the heightened expectations of this soccer squad.
Reyna will continue to play for Manchester City and is positioned well to take on the role of ESPN analyst/ commentator for the 2010 World Cup.
Reyna was capped 112 times and scored 8 goals. More on Reyna
