Marcel Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) With the UEFA Nations League basically taking European friendlies off the table, it's certainly in the best interests of the USMNT to play two Asian teams - one of which was the second-best team in Asian WC Qualifying (Saudi Arabia), seeing as how we've got the best (Iran) coming up in Qatar.

odessasteps Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 You know all the fuss about having to move the WC to the winter because of the heat in Qatar? There are probably going to be US cities (2026 hosts) hotter this week than Doha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
