  1. Got it, that makes sense. My sentiment is comfortably couched around "Qatar don't play football, they're not a football nation, they bribed their way to host this event, they ruined domestic league scheduling, AND NOW people are also dying?" It's just the whole pointlessness of it all due to FIFA corruption.
  2. To an extent sure. But comparing the US who has to support 330 million people to Qatar who's doing this to host a tournament (one they have no business hosting to begin with) whose infrastructure will likely not be used past 5 weeks of usage... it's not the same at all. Couple that with reports of near slave wages, poor living conditions, etc. etc.
  3. Even 1 is 1 too many for this. Reducing it from the likely 6,000+ to 500 does nothing.
  4. It really will. They're going to sit back, welcome the pressure, save their energy, and counter. They'll be okay with a tie because Wales isn't going to be beating England.
  5. Oh if only the transitive property worked in the World Cup. We shouldn't be "worried" but we should be giving Iran proper respect. The US's lack of a true 9 is going to hurt them all tournament long. They should try out Ferreira if Weah doesn't do much after a half.
  6. I want to see Suarez biting Pepe as their final bow from the international stage for both of them.
  7. No kidding, I still don't quite get why he chose to go there but he's made a big difference. Seems like a win/win for them.
  8. I was thinking about this actually. He's so competitive for all things that he must be going fucking crazy being part of Roberto Martinez's team.
  9. My last one was 4-5 rounds but they shortened it since it was with a previous employer and they knew me lol
  10. My dad regarding Mexico: “they still have options available, window or aisle” lol
  11. Mexico need to pack up their bags and go. I feel bad for the world in 2026 when the WC will have 3 CONCACAF automatic qualifying teams and an additional 2 with a possible 1 more for a play in match.
  12. If Mexico didn’t play in such a bad confederation they wouldn’t have qualified for the WC. Where’s the identity? The style of play? The tactics? It’s just forcing shit together and it’s awful to watch. Been watching El Tri since ‘94 and I’m astounded how bad they are.
  13. They shouldn’t be, giving Mexico too much respect. I won’t complain though! I’ll take a tie
  14. Mexico suffers from CONCACAF disease - absolutely no reliable or threatening striker. Miss the days of Jared Borgetti.
  15. We need to recognize how much power we have as D1P posters when it comes to jinxing players and teams. with that said, boy I really think Messi and Argentina are going to have a great game! 😗
