So then it would be USA 2 Mexico -8.
And all CONCACAF competitions, like Nations League and Gold Cup, are heavily promoted and covered in the Spanish-speaking media, and hardly at all...
Disinterested France lose 0-2 at home to Germany. Germany’s first goal came after 8 seconds! I think that is about as quickly as possible that a...
Just one problem with that, there are very few black people in Mexico. As a colony, they didn’t import African slaves for sugar cane and other...
Yep. And if you give the other team 82% possession, the chances that they score one or more goals, whether directly, by a deflection, an own...
Yes. Jamaica ended up losing the possession battle 77%-23% and getting outshot 25-6. Up until they went down 2 goals, they had between 10% and...
Haji Wright moves up to Number 2 striker on the depth chart.
Nice pass by Reyna, nice finish by Wright.
With only about 10% possession? Jamaica in this match is about as cynical as a team can be.
What is the possession stat? It must be nearly 90%-10%.
Well, they did get it mostly right, from a logistical/logical perspective, except for Chicago, Montreal, D.C., and maybe Denver. But Kansas City?...
Has there ever been a World Cup where the 3rd largest city (metro area) in the country was not a venue? Or the capital for that matter (USA and...
I kind of miss that sound of bees swarming as you were approaching the stadiums. I still have my vuvuzela that I bought at the final. I remember...
Yes. I know the reasons, but if you look at the map, it just looks wrong. Chicago and Denver are just such logical venues.
Yeah, if you didn’t feel the World Cup vibe in South Africa in 2010, then you weren’t paying attention to the black people. There was some great...
Is it too late to subtract Houston (or Dallas) and Kansas City, and add Chicago and Denver? Ugh.
You’re not going to see a better finish than that. By anyone. Mbappe would have been proud of that one.
This collection of players should not be dominated at home by any team the way they were dominated by Germany, especially in the second half....
Gotta be Balogun, if true. We all saw him shaking his head walking off the field at the half. And Berhalter meeting him as he was walking off...
Yeah, Germany looked good against France, but France did not play Mbappe and a few other normal starters. Plus, they looked pretty disinterested,...
Except that Deschamps got France to the final, and just about won it, despite missing several key starters due to injury (Benzema, Pogba, Kante,...
Yeah, and Kolo Muani and Konate were out, Camavinga, Coman, and Pavard were on the bench, etc. By far the best national team in the world for...
In addition to the Telemundo broadcast, Vix (presumably the Premium version) seems to have purchased the USA streaming rights to the...
Yeah, I just saw that too. A last minute game of chicken in negotiating the cost of the broadcast rights, I imagine. It is still unclear if the...
It seems that each national federation is selling the rights to their home matches. Apparently there is no deal yet in the USA for Argentina,...
