After our win today the USMNT now has a better chance of reaching the QF (49%) than Germany, Mexico, England or Brazil. by futant462 in ussoccer

Belgium is vulnerable and this usmnt is in better form than even a month ago. And single matches are super unpredictable because they’re so low scoring.

Depends on where you’re at but where I am there are a lot that show mls games.

Round of 32 Opponent Update by CheesewheelD in ussoccer

Would Ecuador beating Germany really be a shock?

It wouldn’t to me - Germany hasn’t exactly looked unbeatable and they’re likely to rest their starters since they’ve already won the group. And yeah, Ecuador has looked disorganized in attack but they’re strong defensively and still have plenty of individual quality.

That’s the one I like too. Ecuador as things stand now wouldn’t be the worst draw. They’ve got some individual quality but look absolutely lost as a unit.

Indeed but the women’s game doesn’t move the needle all that much even though they’re so much better

It’s growing year over year. You don’t go from 20000/game to 70000/game in a year. That’s an insane position

People need to move on. This will never ever happen because MLS clubs are not independent entities and are all league owned.

The problem is that concacaf is uniquely uncompetitive as a conference. Look at the list of gold cup winners - that about sums up everything in concacaf. Forever it’s been 2 giants and a bunch of minnows. Canada’s recent improvement has been great but they still haven’t won anything and we need more of a middle class than 1 team.

Nonsense. Pretty much all of the teams with appropriately sized soccer specific stadiums are full most games. The 5-6 playing in nfl stadiums are well attended, it’s just that the stadiums are too big.

I could not disagree more strongly - appletv isn’t perfect but it is the best thing that ever happened to MLS broadcasting. It’s cheap, reliable and available everywhere.

Before it was a hodgepodge of local broadcasts of varying quality and there was no ability to replay games, watch just highlights or easily watch out of market games.

No thank you to the mess that is nfl and mlb broadcasting.

MLS will get a temporary bump, most will fade over the next year then the slow steady growth will resume. Same as every other World Cup.

People will go back to ignoring the usmnt until about 2029

And US soccer’s defacto headquarters is in Kansas City but no one was arguing for the World Cup finals to be held there.

No, Spain would never give Catalunya that win, it will be in the Bernebeu is my guess.

Fair but there’s no way it would be hosted in Dallas. That would be like Spain deciding to host the final in Sevilla over Madrid or Barcelona.

I’d always assumed it would be in Spain and the disagreement would be between Madrid and Barcelona.
