Copa takes place during a similar timeframe and you rarely see NTs take it with so little seriousness. AFCON is held in the middle of the European club schedule and still get strong sides. Even the Asian Cup is taken seriously. I think it’s weird that big sides have decided to prioritize the nations league over the federation cup.

Could be the fact that the Gold Cup is the most transparent money grab there is in the whole soccer world, always held in the same country. Always drawn to maximize the probability of USA v Mexico selling out a big stadium for the final. With the excuse that it helps pay for everything else in the confederation.

Prioritizing Nations League seems like a load management thing. 2 games instead of 6.

Agreed. But honestly watching the tournament they've been the best side throughout. USA should of lost yesterday and are playing their C squad and have already reverted back to Berhalter ball(playing like incompetent bytches) and Mexico ain't foolin nobody idc how many home games Concacaf gives them :skip:

So go Jamaica🇯🇲

the game vs USA was telling as well. Ja have a good attack but no midfield whatsoever, so every game for them is reactive instead of proactive. They have the guys to counter attack against anyone, but relying solely on that and set pieces isn't trophy winning football. I know a gang of ppl bet on JA to take the cup at great odds, but hard to look past USA and Mexico in this competition.

Demarai Gray is exceptional though. He is what Jamaica thought they were getting with Bailey.

Staying at Spurs for another season allows him assess the entire market at his prime. Going to Bayern now imo is premature.

Real Madrid still need a 9. Bayern will likely still need a 9. Barca will need a Lewa successor. United could upgrade whoever we have so far…

United should convince him to stay and we sign him pre-contract in January.

Signing for utd is not far off signing an extension at Spurs. . . Utd aren't winning anything significant in the next few years - Kane isnt going to want to sign off his career with just a carabao cup/FA cup. At least at Bayern he's near enough guaranteed a League title . . then watch as he comes back to the EPL after 2 seasons there. I think if England had won the Euros in 2021, he would've been content and ended his career at spurs. The dude just wants to get that habitual loser tag off his back before it's too late.
