JamboAl Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 34 minutes ago, Stoppage Time said: I think that CONCACAF has too many teams, and some of them should be transferred to CONMEBOL. For example, Suriname is located on the South American continent and shares a border with Brazil. The same reasoning can be used for Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, French Guiana, and Curacao. In addition, there really needs to be a proper qualifying system for the myriad lower ranked CONCACAF teams to have only the strongest minnows advance to later rounds. Is there much benefit to having Canada defeat a minnow nation 11 - 0? The present system is clumsy and inefficient. Similarly, what would compel CONMEBOL to take them. If we beat the Caymans 11-0, what would the Argentines or Colombians do to them. I don’t see any change happening even if CONCACAF ships two cargo planes full of $100 bills to them.

Inviting teams from outside of CONCACAF makes the tournament less legitimate. What if QATAR won and became the CONCACAF champions? I believe Qatar cannot be CONCACAF champion. If they are in the final game, the CONCACAF team is already champion, as in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them. That's an unexpected wrinkle to Group A. It will be fun to see how Group A plays out. On the chant, I don't know if odd or strange are the right words, but I find it odd that even after their own players have pleaded with them not to do it, it's still happening. I'm not sure how else to describe it, but it seems strange to me. For Mexico, 2 home WCQ matches without fans doesn't ultimately impact their chance of qualifying like it would other countries, but still, if one of our players actually had to get on a mic in the middle of the pitch and say please stop doing something (because if we didn't, there would be punishments that could affect our chances of succeeding), I'd like to think it would stop pretty quickly. All this time I thought they were yelling "BUSTOS". dyslexic nam, Addona, Unnamed Trialist and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Watching England roll a 3-4-2-1 at Euro finals vs Italy's 4-3-3 kind of has my mind wondering what our best XI in 3-4-2-1 would look like.
