Morocco were getting jobbed but they are up a goal.

1-2 in the 67th.

Edit: the ref officiating this match is Kevin Ortega, the infamous ref from last year’s COPA America match between the US and Uruguay. LOL.

 

1-3 Morocco!!!

 

They won.

Eddie Nketiah wants to switch his allegiance to Ghana.

He chose to play for England over Ghana in 2023. He hasn't been called up by them since then.

Suriname probably the best team in Group A that just can’t close it out, Panama have been a disappointment thus far. Guatemala still hanging around and the less said about El Salvador the better.

Meanwhile I was hoping Curaçao would have gotten the three points against T&T now Jamaica retakes the lead in Group B. Finally Honduras controls its destiny in Group C with a favorable game against Nicaragua on the road next month.
