Marcel Posted June 27, 2022 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 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.

RIPPA Posted September 23, 2022 Author Posted September 23, 2022 Well that doesn't bode well for their World Cup chances.... 1
odessasteps Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 Last I heard, none of the Brazilians playing at Arsenal may not make the squad.

RIPPA Posted October 31, 2022 Author Posted October 31, 2022 Oh and he isn't the only Juventus player whose WC is in jeopardy due to injury Weston McKennie hurt his quad in Saturday's game He is supposedly out for 15 days. The US plays Wales in 21 days (or 22 depending on how you count)
AxB Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Apparently Wales want to use the name Cymru rather than Wales. Which is a bit like Germany being called Deutschland instead of Germany.
ReiseReise Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 Maybe it's more like Turkey being called Turkiye so they don't get confused with the bird. Wales won't be confused with whales that way...
odessasteps Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 They discussed on Second Captains if Ireland might try and do the same. From a distance, I keep hearing that the Welsh language has been making a resurgence in recent years.

Now, let me go back to my 1930-40's European national anthem playlist.... ... Oh hey guys you know what....

odessasteps Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 I can only fear what the world will look like by the time we get to the North American World Cup.
RIPPA Posted November 8, 2022 Author Posted November 8, 2022 Oh yeah - nothing entertains me as much as Sepp Blatter now saying having the World Cup in Qatar is a mistake
