AL-RAYYAN, Qatar -- As he dealt with a series of injury setbacks over the past year that significantly limited his availability for the United States men's national team and his club, Borussia Dortmund, Giovanni Reyna insists his World Cup availability was never in doubt.
"I always knew I was going to be ready for this moment," he said on Wednesday. "I think it was always in the back of my head to make sure I was ready for the World Cup. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling strong. Obviously, still managing a few things. It's going to take time, but I'm ready to help the team.
