World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

Morocco has only given up one goal the entire tournament: an own goal to Canada.

Remember when the US had only given up 1 goal the entire tournament? Me too.

It is pretty easy to beat a team that decided that passing was the only thing to do on the field and taking shots is the devil like Spain did.

I guess the Swiss are done.

Maybe we in the US could find a Ramos. That might make a difference. And since I'm a fan of the Portuguese league, I'm happy for him, even if he does play for Benfica. That league is not chopped liver.

Sounds like they’re going to run back the 2016 Copa America in 2024 after Ecuador passed on hosting. US, Canada (who didn’t play in 2016), Mexico will play with 3 other CONCACAF teams as well. No word on whether the FBI will be involved again.

Do they rotate hosts and it has to be Ecuador that year? Why can’t another country pick it up?

They rotate hosting duties. Another country can pick it up, that’s why it’ll probably be in the US.

That was fun, but underwhelming... Many games were played in venues that were 1/2 full or less. In Philly for the US/Paraguay match, the entire camera side of the field was vacant along with the 3rd tier seating all around.

Well, I’d say they won’t overcharge this time based on that experience but I doubt they learned anything.

I meant another South American country. Shouldn’t Brazil or Argentina be able to host at the drop of a hat?

Really they could make it a trial run for 2026 and host in all three NA countries. Looks like there were ten venues in 2016, so you could do Mexico City, Monterrey, Toronto, Vancouver, and six US cities.

I mean yeah South American country could but Brazil just hosted the last one and it sounds like with Argentina’s economy being a mess they’re out. I think it would normally end up being in a South American country but they’ve got an opportunity with the US and Mexico (and Canada too I guess) not having any qualification on their schedule.
