This is why the tournament used to be 12 teams with 2 invites. There's not that much quality after top 8, top 10 teams. They started getting rid of the invites and it didn't look too bad with 12 concacaf teams, but with this expansion to 16, the lack of quality is apparent. B-level teams like Canada and Haiti look like monsters out there.

The hypocrisy of people bashing Ashley, but at the same time bashing others owners for investing in their club.
I asked what you mean by expansion team because I wasn't sure if you meant they were going to be an MLS expansion team. Regardless, I'm on the other side of the country and I'm watching what they are doing.
Hopefully they can get their own stadium eventually.
Surprised Cote d'Ivoire has Cornet and Zaha on the bench. Zaha would be good as a False 9 with Cornet on the RW.
