  1. I agree the book isn't closed on him for the NT as a whole (He's 22). But he should be a cautionary tale for players sitting when they are on the edge or in a deep position. His decision to skip the Gold Cup has really cost him with Poch and he hasn't gotten the call since. Given the list of Central Mids they have: Tyler Adams, Sebastian Berhalter, Cristian Roldan, Tanner Tessmann I could put him ahead of any of the last three. But Roldan is a lock, baring injury because Poch likes what he brings to the locker room, so really it's either Tessmann or Berhalter, both of which I can see.
  2. I was hoping that Suriname would draw New Caledonia for the easier game, but no luck. I don't see how they get past Bolivia. Jamaica should walk over New Caledonia. The finals are a hard call, but I agree with you about Bolivia If they are in Guadalajara.
  3. I had to straighten up after dropping the kiddo off, I couildn't post this until now. This is how the brackets feeds into the finals too, so The winners of the top match will host the final in each bracket (LOL Italy).
  4. Rough draw for both CONCACAF teams. Suriname in the semis, Jamaica in the finals.
  5. That 2nd part - SPOT FUCKING ON.
  6. Welp, the international break is over. I think I heard that Sarr might have a small injury that held him out of a game, but it isn't thought to be seriously. Now, a trip to the Emirates Sunday. LFG!
  7. There is the matter of the last 6 spots up for grabs, 4 from UEFA and 2 from the Intercontinental playoffs. These will be drawn tomorrow (7 AM eastern) and contested in the March window. What do we have? UEFA There are 16 teams vying for the last 4 UEFA spots. They will be placed in 4 brackets, with the winners going to the World Cup. Each bracket will be: In the Semis Pot 1 and 2 teams will host. Tomorrow's draw will also determine the host for the Final of each bracket. Pretty straight forward. Intercontinental playoff There are 6 teams vying for two spots. This format is a touch more complicated. In this case the top two world ranked teams, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Iraq, automatically advance to the finals. While the remaining 4 teams will be drawn head to head to face the winners. Another key thing: Jamaica and Suriname cannot meet in the semi-finals, so the semis will either be Jamaica-Bolivia / Suriname-New Caledonia or Jamaica-New Caledonia / Bolivia-Suriname. These will also be neutral site matches. Word broke recently that they will be played in Guadalajara and Monterrey. The brackets look like this:
  8. Well we are almost there. We have 42 of 48 spots decided for the World Cup. Next for the whole tournament is the draw. That is going to be held Dec 5 at Noon Eastern. Needless to say the world will be watching.
  9. Neither did Honduras because of that result last night. In both cases
  10. I see the whole game on HBO Max. Likely on TNT too, but I don't have that one.
  11. Just sayin' And in the latest World Rankings
  12. Tell me you've never had a fried Oreo without telling me
  13. OH WOW!!! Suriname gets an OG in stoppage time and moves up ahead of Honduras of the 2nd place teams. That puts THEM into the intercontinental playoff and Honduras is DED dead.
  14. Finals in Group C - Haiti wins and advances!!! CURACAO - JAMAICA JUST WENT FINAL!!!
  15. It's going to VAR, but I don't see how you reverse .... oh wait a sec does he get the ball?!!?!?!? HE DID!!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
  16. PENALTY FOR JAMAICA!!! Last minute of stoppage time.
  17. Honduras - Costa Rica is turning into a gang fight.
  18. Serious drama, I recommend the Goalazo show. Jamaica hit the woodwork about 2 minutes ago. And they just got a red card! There is going to be a ton of stoppage time, but it's still 0-0. Panama has pretty much wrapped up their ticket up 3-0.
  19. There is about 15' left in the CONCACAF games and this is what's going on: Group A - Disaster for Suriname - they are getting routed 3-0 against Guatemala. Panama is winning 2-0. That would give Panama the group, but the bad loss would likely knock Suriname out of the intercontinental playoff. Group B - Curacao and Jamaica are tied 0-0. Curacao had a goal wiped out for offsides. Group C - Haiti is up 2-0 on Nicaragua and Costa Rica and Honduras are scoreless. That would put Haiti into the World Cup These results would end up with Honduras and Jamaica into the Intercontinental playoff.
