So we all in agreement that Berhalter was a nepotism hire?

4 years is a long time man….I know we say making the knockout is good experience but we have no idea who actually will be on the squad in 2026

is there any reason the US wouldn’t accept an invite to the Copa?

US was in the 2016 version. Not in 19 or 21, have no idea why especially as Gold cup is in odd numbered year.

Should push for 24 edition.

Van Gaal Masterclass. Huge mismatch in management experience. Ajax Mid 90s, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar, Bayern. If you know, you know.

LVG been a boss. Took Dutch to 3rd in 14 WC.

Does anyone else look forward to the first hard foul on a star that sets the tone of the match?

Will be interesting to see how Oz deal with Messi

Argentina vs Australia

Who will the clash of the southern hemisphere? Can La Albiceleste (The White and Sky Blue) beat their opponents black, white and sky blue? Or can the Socceroos kick La Albiceleste down-under?

Go Albiceleste.

Interesting snippet on BBC about Messi and his relationship with Argentina

A prophet is without honor in his own country

i wouldn't bet on Australia here but it could certainly be a close one if Argentina is asleep

what happened

He scored and the commentator said something to the effect of, "Memphis Depay...whose father walked out on him when he was four, hence why he chooses not to acknowledge that name and chooses to simply put 'Memphis' on the back of his jersey."

Stick to hockey, Canada brehs. Love your country (at least the West Coast), but unless global warming causes a bunch of Africans and South Americans to immigrate to Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat, y'all ain't gonna be shyt again before too much longer.

We slacked on defense.

Australia barely got past Oman for final playoff spot in qualifying and somehow now in round of 16. I think luck ends today and they got blown out.

Solid post

A bunch of restrained subdued American brehs in here



Now lashing out at Canada and other Concacaf countries



Funny thing is I was rooting for your squad. Sad sight
