The Road to Rio... goes through pretty much all of the Central American countries (and Mexico).

Re: World Soccer XXIV: The Road to Rio
Who doesn't like it? It's wonderful to see. Not to mention it gets our guys in a scoring mentality, learning to play within themselves yet giving themselves more opportunities to finish against competition.

Re: World Soccer XXIV: The Road to Rio
Eh. Running up the score against crappy El Salvador is nice, but I'm not convinced it actually does anything to prepare them to beat good teams in competitive matches.
Edit to add: but, on the other hand, you can only beat who you play. Can't blame them for winning the games they have.

Already insane, UAA making it worse
It's a breath of fresh air to see that's for sure. I don't think I've ever seen the US team play this well.

On top of that it's just the B squad, so save a few guys that will get moved up to play in the WCQ's, this isn't preparing the senior team for much. However, it does help Klinsmann's image. This is the USA's longest winning streak ever, and they've had these runs of only playing CONCACAF teams before and still not accomplished this streak. I guess the big test comes in the next two games, as it's down to teams from the Hex.

Re: World Soccer XXIV: The Road to Rio
Outside of USA and Mexico are the other teams in the Gold Cup playing with their A squads?
The other thing it does though is push the A squad guys to a point, Klinsmann can point to performances in the gold cup to tell players currently on the A squad to keep pushing themselves otherwise someone from the B squad has been working his butt off and producing when given the chance, etc.

Re: World Soccer XXIV: The Road to Rio
Totally random. Saw a middle-aged woman from the suburbs walk/jogging with a Uganda soccer jersey on.
It was 90 out and the jersey was black. Not the smartest workout apparel choice. But I was confused as to how she came to have a Uganda shirt at all.

Uganda lost a championship and so they shipped the inaccurate jerseys to poor people in Pittsburgh?

Falcao, for whom Monaco recently paid 53 million pounds, may actually be 29 and not 27. Crazy news if true.

He didn't get it because it wasn't a math joke.
Re: World Soccer XXIV: The Road to Rio
I'm not sure, but I think both Honduras and Costa Rica are playing with weakened squads, otherwise they would be more serious threats to win the tournament.

Re: World Soccer XXIV: The Road to Rio
Honduras are still in it, so you never know. Crazy things happen in single elimination. (But yes, they and Costa Rica are both not playing with their full squads.)

A goal every 68 seconds
. I wonder what made them think the game might be fixed?

I did get the joke. However, they didn't even come close to getting through Africa's qualifying. The joke implies that they had to come close at some point.
