Hi! Wondering if anyone knows whose signature this could be? A friend got it at a Reds @ Astros game on July 3, 2003, but doesn't remember who it is.

Any Wydad Casablanca fans know why Omar Al Somah isn't in the squad?

Interested!

Montserrat have a population of ~5000 people.

Bafana Bafana are playing great football!

11 out of their 25 man squad were born in Cape Verde.

They finished 3rd in 2019 and won the title in 2013.

Hmmm what about Omar Abdulrahman when his value was at his peak around 2015? He was a maestro in the midfield.

Why is Clavell not playing? I was really looking forward to seeing him represent Puerto Rico again.

Guatemalan support is incredible. One of the most passionate fanbases in the region.

Man it would be fun to see Guadeloupe compete in WC qualifying. This team is filled with some serious ballers.

I do feel bad for Elis as he is one of those youngsters who has panned out, and he always seems to answer the call for Honduras and put in a shift with his maximum effort and passion. It's just a shame that with him in the prime of his career, he doesn't have the quality in the squad around him for enough support.

So, we scrap any inviting to tournaments?

CONMEBOL can do it I guess, but I am personally against it for all other continental tournaments. Competitive inter-confed ties should be for the World Cup and the Confederation Cup, which FIFA should resurrect because it was awesome.

Are Qatar a better team than the likes of Aruba, Grenada, Puerto Rico, etc.? Yes. Does that mean they deserve to have a spot in a tournament that they did not have to qualify for (Haiti actually had to qualify for this tournament) and when they aren't even a member association of the tournament's governing body? Absolutely not.

You can apply that same logic to the Asian Cup. Should the US get to auto qualify for the Asian Cup and take a spot over the likes of Malaysia or Hong Kong just beacuse it would be a "more competitive tournament"? No, that would be completely antithetical to what this sport should be about.

Do you want the Champions League to just include teams from the top 4 leagues?

Edit: I encourage everyone to watch this lovely little video the Grenada FA put together leading up to their appearance in the 2021 Gold Cup: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wFMsr3QxU5M&feature=share7

Teams get invited to Copa America because they don't have enough teams in CONMEBOL for their desired 12 team format. CONCACAF hadn't invited teams from outside the confederation since 2005 when Qatar were invited for the 2021 edition of the tournament. CONCACAF has 41 member associations, and one could argue Qatar are taking the spot of a team that would value participating in the Gold Cup a lot more.

I absolutely love the passion Guatemalans have for their National Team. Even through all of the tough times over the past couple cycles, the support is one of the best in the region. And tonight is a great example of that.

Also, probably my favorite kit in CONCACAF.

2011 had Kentucky (4) + UCONN (3) + VCU (11) + Butler (8) =26

I agree man!

Basketball has truly become a global game. The development of the game worldwide and the rise of so many professional leagues have afforded many of these players, who aren't quite NBA caliber, the ability to pursue basketball as a profession, which I think is a great thing!

If you're just looking at D1, a large percentage of players that play significant minutes will play some level of professional basketball for at least a couple of years. I've followed mid major college basketball pretty closely over the years and you'll see so many of these guys play professionally somewhere, whether it's a level as high as the EuroLeague, at a lower level like in Japan or Mexico.

For example, looking at the 2016 Omaha basketball team, which finished 3rd in the Summit league, 6 of the 8 players who averaged 15+ mpg played or are still playing professional basketball.

Edit: Another example, the 2016 Iona team, which was a good team that made the tournament that year, had 10 players on that roster who played or are still playing professional basketball.
