This is our only example with Qatar being. champions of their continental tournament, and invitees to another during the same period.

I’ll always cheer against them Don’t mind Sams army but not sure about the others. At the World Cup American fans seem mild mannered. I would think they’d want Canada to win if it wasn’t against them. N1ckbr0wn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I’ll be cheering for the US in the final (not something I would have expected), but I do think that Mexico will likely win a close match. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always be a supporter of the US team (except against us), especially because their team gets so much shit from the casual fans on Twitter who bitch and moan about the MLS content when on the flipside our MLS guys are some of our best and we love them all. I haven't seen a fanbase despise their own players since England. Edited July 30, 2021 by VinceA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrstepp817 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 This is a limited US team, I said it on twitter yesterday they should be thrilled they made the finals with this roster....if they find a way to beat Mexico it'll be an ugly 1-0 game.... I think both the US and Canada have a lot of great things to take out of this tournament to head into the three WQC games in Sept... rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This US roster is filled with players that will play regularly and start in the upcoming World Cup qualifying. US fans claiming this is their C squad is just them pushing how much better they are than other teams in the confederation. That is more like their B squad. Every team is missing some of their top players. Corazon, gator and JohnnyFranchise 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a balance between USMNT Twitters constant "this is our D - squad!!" and the truth (that they are missing more of their high end talent than the other teams (particularly Mexico and Canada). If you compare the lineup in the Nations league finals (that was their A team) to their gold cup roster the gap is pretty evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
