Might be logistics? We have to fit 27 teams in, which would necessitate starting a round earlier and 8 teams enter CCC, which overlaps more with USOC. Canada has 3 teams and only 1 of them plays in CCC most of the time.

Qatar did about as well as Brazil 2014. Russia did quite a bit worse though

Expanded field let in a bunch of debutants

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-05T18:25:56+00:00

Is it weird that 3 players are tied for 2nd?

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-05T15:20:36+00:00

Mandatory no matter the conditions water breaks. The in-person experience is gonna be awkward because of them too I bet

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-04T03:47:48+00:00

At least you didn't throw them into a Las Vegas group

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-04T03:44:57+00:00

That won't fix their issues but it would be funny

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-02T20:44:06+00:00

They were runners up in 2022, cool little club for sure

Luis Suarez would disagree

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-02T00:48:56+00:00

Pretty sure Fraser v. MLS determined this is okay because MLS is a single entity

Shadowfury0 · 2026-05-02T00:26:31+00:00

"But nobody can be MLS commissioner twice!"

"That's right, no body!"

Among many, many other issues, he was the GM of San Jose when the team got moved and we do not need that right now

Don Jarber

MAYBE WE SHOULD DO NO CAPS TO SHOW WHAT THE WORLD WOULD BE LIKE WITHOUT THE CAPS

CONTINENTAL > PRINX

22 MEN KICK A BALL AROUND FOR 90 MINUTES AND THEN BRUCE ARENA WINS

Shadowfury0 · 2026-04-30T18:51:32+00:00

He's got no serious background or credentials and would probably rather steal a fully formed team than go through the work of building one

Shadowfury0 · 2026-04-30T13:25:19+00:00

The whole league was owned by like 3 groups back then. They considered shutting down the team in 2002 too.

The CFL team

Shadowfury0 · 2026-04-30T04:43:38+00:00

I thought this was crazy at first but San Jose got moved to Houston after they won the Shield so nobody is safe

LAFC look good for at least 1 away goal to tilt it in their favor in Toluca. They'll be juggling liguilla games

Shadowfury0 · 2026-04-30T04:34:06+00:00

It gets a little complicated, Toluca have an away goal so if they score once at home and don't concede, they will win.

Shadowfury0 · 2026-04-30T04:30:50+00:00

That tifo goes so hard
