    McBean takes the sort of shot you do when you are warming up the keeper. Comfortable height, right at him, not very hard

    Same when McBean gets a header. God both these teams are poor.

    And follows it up with a header to the GK much like the underhanded toss you would make to a teammate taking a throw in.

    It was a good goal, the Diomande backheel really sprung Rossi.

    But when you have a defender back between the man and goal, you'd hope for more. But that wasn't one of our forwards.

    I just realized, they usually wear black, don't they.

    Option to sign Pulisic once he turns 35?

    They must have changed in deference to us. So their fans could see the famous Burgundy.

    After the 2026 World Cup. I believe the US has qualified for that one.

    Both teams have 5 shots on target. We just keep hitting ours right at the keeper.

    I can't improve on JasonMa's succinct answers to your questions. But I will add that our team is built to get through OCEANA World Cup qualifying.

    Balboa, you gotta get some results and you gotta get lucky. Thank you. I still dream of these two commentating on the Titanic voyage. "You gotta avoid some icebergs and you gotta get lucky. The captain's steering is a little off".

    Actually we do have to qualify, by mutual agreement Canada gets the 'host' slot; Mexico and USA still have to qualify (money to be made on qualifiers).

    Well, that sucked. The highlight was LAFC's second goal. And the second half of the first episode of the first season of Succession that I watched during halftime. I recommend they bring back the woman commentator. And I learn her name. Nothing personal against Balboa, but he has to go.

    OK. Finally saw the first goal (my cable was bad). Good goal too.

    I won't post video of Acosta from last game...

    Back to reality for the Rapids.

    With the expanded field, and especially if our Confederation switch to Oceania goes through, I don't see a problem.

    I don't think that's officially decided yet, but it seems to be the leading plan.

    And even if it was official FIFA could officially change it between now and then, but it does make some sense because if there were three host slots that would only leave 45 open for teams like the Faroe Islands to vie for.
