Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - Life and Death for South America, Pre-Season for Europe: The Club World Cup

That Netherlands vs Poland game looking nice. Hopefully DvdB plays. I haven't watched him play in a while.



I fully expect Canada to leap frog the US in the coming years. The growing immigrant/black Canadian population will be a big part of that.

The African diaspora in Canada already has an affinity to soccer. Couple that with access to proper facilities and lack of competition/interest from other sports (Basketball, Football etc) and Canada has a strong foundation to ascend in soccer.

Fikayo Tomori if I remember could have also represented Canada (in addition to Nigeria )

I think in the next 5-10 years will be critical for Canada concerning it's soccer development.

The USA should be OK. You guys have a good crop of youngins; Dest, Mckinnnie, Reyna, Adams. My one issue with America is thier playing style, alot of hard running and effort but not enough tactical knowledge. I remember watching our 2-0 win over you guys and I was shocked at how poor USA’s ball retention was. Saw the same thing in the Gold Cup final and the friendly with England’s B team. A european coach may be needed.

If we can get to a point where we can consistently get results vs USA and Mexico, I’ll feel like we've turned the corner.

So Messi is staying at Barca?

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Messi's kids googled Manchester's weather and told him

 

[Osmar]

Remember when Messi "retired" from the NT after the Chile loss in 2016.

He's gets dramatic after big losses.

Di Maria probably gave him a heads up.

The US is about to see it's golden generation of talent. If we can get the coaching right and not have SUM/MLS infiltrate the USMNT we should have a really good squad for a couple World Cups.

The US is capitalist to its bones and I bet SUM is behind this. This is a terrible decision. Fulham and Brighton ok. Liverpool and Arsenal?

At least the prem might be more competitive this coming season after all.

 

[African_brehda]

This might be his worse season yet. Going to half ass his way outta the club
