Plus isn't this just a natural product of large betting markets? When a cr**load of money is placed on something over time the odds lessen and...
Would not have put Leon as first taker, I like her in the shootout but to take two (relatively important) shots in a row is a lot
Would that not make it violent conduct and a red card offense? Genuinely asking tbf, I think a red would have been harsh. Just not sure how the...
Loads of people will visit from abroad and try to rent a car for the duration, I'm sure some will get stuck in traffic but yeah, cr**loads of...
I know people don't like all these continental tourneys expanding to 24 teams (Gold Cup might need a few years or a bunch of invitees) but it's...
Complete chaos for the hosts here. Feels even worse somehow than straight elimination. Still have a remote chance of qualifying as a...
I think most MLS players won't care enough about the magic of the cap to want to take a cold shower in a crappy high school "stadium", and they're...
I appreciate the hypotheticals but surely the CONCACAF spot will be taken away shortly? The idea of sporting merit or accessibility went out the...
Somehow stumbled in this thread and saw someone quoting this, wondered what kind of idiot would post such a thing :ROFLMAO: happy to have eaten my...
Helped get Pele in '75 and the World Cup in '94, didn't he? Minor bright spot mind you
Just seed the top two and have 3rd and 4th drop back into the groups
Hard to blame them when the confederation's whole operating budget (read: Montagliani's hotel room and restaurant bills) depends on Mexico selling...
Oh agreed, Montagliani is more of the same. Also annoyed that they shifted the top 4 straight into the CNL quarters... at the same time Canada was...
Hey I love Nations League (was in Vegas and will probably be in Dallas), but let's not pretend the top tier is much more than an extension of the...
Personally I was against claiming it as a trophy (1985 shouldn't count either btw), but I'm not seeing any dispute as to the competitive merit...
Soooo weird how this never happens to other teams
Guy was so desperate to post this he really didn't care how the win came
Oh shit, they used VAR here too?
Deliberately obtuse is a good look I guess. You obviously know that minute "infringements" like that occur all the time in plenty of settings...
Oh totally. Happens so much that no one can think of an instance, ever? Try and watch world football and not the imaginary version in your head...
Remember all the times a guy got two retakes in a penalty shootout in the last 16 months?
Guys. Come on. This is too much even for me now
Now THIS is content, I aspire to be at this posting level
Not sure "we didn't even get to the final of the tournament that's set up for us to" is that much of a flex though
Not even the most important team in CONCACAF's made up tournaments that are designed for them to win tbf
