World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

Few more added as African qualifying has finished: South Africa, Ivory Coast and Senegal.

The final two from Asia: Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Plus the first from UEFA as England have qualified.
 
The WC will remain second class in my heart until my beloved Bahrain and Thailand qualify. I'd accept the Philippines as replacements. Panama at least appeared in 2018.

Bahrain unfortunately finished bottom of their qualifying group. Though, in their defense, it was the group with Japan, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. Not exactly the easiest.
 
Current group leaders in CONCACAF with two matches to play:

Suriname (tied with Panama but ahead on goals scored)
Jamaica
Honduras

Currently, Costa Rica is out of even a playoff spot.
 
Twatwaffle threatened to pull the World Cup from Boston because roving gangs of Antifa thugs are robbing tourists, beating up locals and setting buildings ablaze. It sounds worse than Portland and Chicago! FIFA is quietly hoping he settles down because it doesn't want to be on the hook to pay Boston for the seven games it is contracted to host and finding new host(s) for those games would be a nightmare. Not to mention the tickets already sold. I imagine Kraft has already called up his friend to remind him in whose stadium those games are scheduled to be played...
 
US Soccer has released a proposal for the future of college soccer.

tl;dr: It’s for D1.
Schools would be divided into 4 regional clusters.
Regional clusters would split into 2 regional divisions with 9 of “the most competitive teams” each plus 4 local divisions of 8-10 teams.
Regular season of 18-22 games, taking place from September to April with a two month break starting in December for winter and exams plus no more than 3 games in a 14 day period.
A 64 team National Tournament.
No conferences but traditional conferences would be allowed to run an in season tournament or cup for conference championship.

Nothing on the women’s side right now as there seems to be a lot more resistance to any changes on the women’s side.
