I'm kinda mad that Canada collapsed and won't go through, it's definitely a much better away game than Honduras or El Sal

You're mad we lost against Mexico? Have you just started watching soccer?

Che storia figata, ragazzo!



If the blue gringos can beat them the red gringos should be able to beat them too.

Canada still have one match vs each Honduras and El Sal, too, so they are pretty well in control of their own destiny.

honestly i think klinsmann's biggest failure is that he still doesn't understand concacaf and thinks he can bring a pile of scrubs to guatemala city and win easily; that's not how this confederation has ever worked.
His biggest failure is that he still thinks he can put half of his team in completely random, unfamiliar positions and assume that they'll just figure poo poo out.

yes that's exactly the kind of poo poo i'm talking about. he's trying to shape the USA into a very different team than it's been for the last 20 years. to do that he needs to experiment with different players in different positions and different formations. that's all fine and good...in friendlies. you can't pull that poo poo in guatemala city.

quote:

Modou Barrow's car was attacked by Gambia fans after a football match in Mauritania, it has been claimed.

Barrow was playing for his country in an African Cup Of Nations qualifier at the time.

A vehicle he was using and one being driven by someone else were attacked with stones thrown, causing significant damage.

Some blamed the incident on frustration at the team's performance - Mauritania lost the match, held on March 25, 2-1.

King Kbuteh Conteh said: "For me I don't blame the fans for that action, because they are out of control - stoning Barrow's car, I think he should understand that.

"Barrow is the reason why most of the fans went to the stadium, he is the one we put our hope on, he is the fans' favoured player, so if we lose and he did not deliver up to our expectation though, that's not his intention, and the fans also mad at him and stoning his car is not their intention as well.

"In this case I hope and believe Barrow will understand that misbehavior from fans.

"But it is not their intention, that's the nature of the fans. Star Barrow, please accept our apology."

Benzema has been banned from the French squad for the Euros. I guess a little blackmail between friends can have consequences.

The USMNT actually seems to have some attacking depth for a change (sorry Jozy), and against Colombia I think Pulisic is better used as a supersub. Probably gonna sacrifice someone to put in Beckerman anyway, which is fine with me.

Portugal will be playing Norway in about 30 minutes in what will be a complete farce. I figured they might run the B-team since we're hardly the strongest opponent at the best of times, but the Portuguese team actually looks surprisingly solid excepting the obviously missing players. Meanwhile Norway will not be bringing our A-team, or our B- for that matter. See for some reason the FA agreed to hold this friendly despite the fact that we have league matches playing this weekend, and so does Sweden where a lot of our obvious replacement B-teamers play too. Additionally we have a lot of injuries to players that would otherwise be available like Tettey or Elabdellaoui. Our squad includes zero left backs and in fact in that spot we will be playing an NT debutant who plays central midfield at his club. I'll be seriously surprised if we let in less than 4 goals.
