Pulisic won't play on Thursday.

Not too shocking. El Salvador is probably the least important opponent in this round of games plus he hasn't played much lately being out with COVID and all.

My tummy hurts whenever we take anybody for granted but you certainly know better than I.

*shrug* Three games in a week, even if he wasn't coming off of COVID he wasn't gonna start and play in all three. They'll be ok.

 

[Jimjamesak]

Oh, and there won't be any VAR in CONCACAF Qualifying.

Not too shocking. El Salvador is probably the least important opponent in this round of games plus he hasn't played much lately being out with COVID and all.

I wasn't surprised at all just posting it was finally made official.

In the “it could always be worse” department we turn to eternal member of said department Canada.

Soccer Canada, whose broadcasting rights are held by a stand-alone streaming service called Onesoccer (owned by Mediapro the company that held Ligue 1 rights in France and then promptly gave them up because they missed multiple payments, causing many French clubs to go into severe financial trouble), announced a deal with Sportsnet that allows Sportsnet to broadcast all the World Cup Qualifying games for Canada.

Announced today.

The day before World Cup Qualifying starts.

Soccer Canada everyone!

As World Cup Qualifying starts, USMNT embraces CONCACAF’s dark arts.

”There are so many nightmare stories that you hear,” Lletget says. “But they’re true, and it would be naive of us to expect anything less.”

…

“I was like, ‘You’re going to let your country down. All these fans are going to start booing you. You didn’t even start the game. You’re retired,’ ” Acosta recalls.

 

[Jimjamesak]

Canada, you ain't gonna qualify for the World Cup if you're losing to Honduras 0-1 at home.

(Paramount+ has most of the CONCACAF qualifiers)

People keep saying Josh Sargent is a great forward.

I'm still waiting for it.

 

[Kepler]

My imagination or does every US player have 2 inches and 20 pounds on his man?

 

[Jimjamesak]

Win at home, draw on the road.

I know the Twitterati will be up in arms but 0-0 is fine.

 

[Kepler]

I thought that transition in the first minute of extra time might lead to a good look. I'll take a draw.

Mexico nearly drew at home against Jamaica but pulled it out late. I swear you could give them 200 minutes and they’d find a way to win in the 199th.

Especially at home.

 

[Jimjamesak]

So Mexico won at home but the other games were draws, and Panama v Costa Rica was also 0-0, so the US isn't losing any ground with this draw.

Canada is in some serious trouble dropping points at home.
