Too bad that the confederation will probably go so far as to pull a beginning-of-The-Last-Boy-Scout to make sure that never happens.

I thought Ochoa comments were basically fine and berhalter was grasping for some argh disrespect motivation and used it which fair enough. Pulisic shirt was pretty funny though

I was generally fine with the us taking 4 points in that window but didn't anticipate panama coming from begind twice to take 6. They seem intent on keeping the pressure on us/mex/can the whole way.

Rge Rd is actually pretty good... although the Google description is "Buzzy high-end eatery with a rustic-chic interior serving imaginative farm-to-table cuisine."

So yes you're absolutely right

Has the inter-confederation playoff been set yet? Everything I'm seeing is the draw hasn't happened yet... so it's not guaranteed vs the OFC candidate. Could be any of the teams below

Fourth place CONCACAF
OFC winner
CONMEBOL 5th place
AFC playoff winner

Yeah, seriously. Between 1st place OFC (likely New Zealand), 5th place AFC (at present either Australia or the UAE), or 5th place CONMEBOL which is gonna be, like, Uruguay, that is far and away the most survivable game for 4th place CONCACAF.
