Sorry this isn't true. I live in Kenya and spent the past nine years in Burundi, Rwanda, and Ethiopia before this so I like to think I'm somewhat...
These men fought to keep my ancestors slaves and fought for a system that explicitly would have made me property with my life, labor, and family,...
We're always horrible at Costa Rica. We're historically OK at Honduras. I think we're 1-1-1 in the past three cycles.
Seems like Honduras and CR are also declining at the moment. I guess we'll see in Oct/Nov if thats going to continue, but it does seem like the...
I've lived on continent for 6 years+. The worst thing here is the proliferation of continental tournaments (2 AFCONs, 2 CHANs per cycle) which...
I basically just don't want the Earthquakes (or any other MLS Team really) wasting time playing mid-season cash grab friendlies, beyond maybe the...
Revenge is dish best served lukewarm in a friendly I guess.
Well I mean the Thai men's team is nothing special to be kind, so it's not like there is a tradition of winning in the soccer program/culture in...
Yeah as someone who lives on the continent and has for six years, the approach of Kenyans, Ethiopians, Rwandans, and South Africans (to a name a...
Also, some teams play at elevation, otherwise when and where it's really hot (Honduras), we played where it was really cold and Denver in March...
Can we just make the 32 team format permanent forever FIFA? It's fricking perfect in terms of the balance of competitive, representative, and...
Double post sorry, but if you take the ferry or the "hop" flight from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar, you still have to pass immigration on arrival....
Minor, but France actually has different designations for their overseas territories. "Les Departments d' Outre Mer" (of which there are 5 I...
Yeah, definitely not a perfect solution, nor am I proposing this as the "solution". An alternative would be to opt for a schedule where you play...
North American pro sports leagues do seem to tap out in the low 30s in terms of team numbers, so thats one reason to think 32 might be as far as...
I mean if they're playing Canada in September and maybe the US in October. Hardly temperatures to chill you to the core unless they have to play...
League C Teams have two open dates in the fall I believe. Theoretically I guess you could force them to play a home and away and eliminate six...
This is my preferred outcome as well. One rotating Gold Cup (or at least only playing one group in the US if CONCACAF insists) + Nations League +...
Regardless, it's striking at first first glance with that drop off from the Top 4 to Chile at 5, but based on population bases, wealth, and...
I get the other two (stadium stuff I assume, although I thought Minn was basically done), but why is Montreal starting so late?
It's not actually "Kenyans" as a whole, its mostly from one ethnic group (the Kalenjin) that live around Eldoret on top of the Great Rift Valley....
Also saying Brazil (210 million people, 1.9 trillion GDP) and Mexico (124 million people, 1.2 Trillion GDP) have a "similar" population is a bit...
I mean, not at all. 3 teams all at 1-1 is quite plausible. We definitely also seem like we got the tougher of the two groups, and not just based...
Yeah, but the Thursday games sold out. Basically no improvement was possible and had some great crowds. Also, we're the knockout rounds played...
God damn, 8 games and six beat downs. This people, is the reason we have multiple rounds during the big boy World Cup qualifying.
