2022 World Cup Thread

It was been that way in the 2nd game. Coverage starts equaled gametime against Wales and I had to start 45 min late.

I guess it depends on who is presenting the info, but getting tricked would be bad!

No chance he or Sargent plays, so it will be interesting to see what US does.

I'm amazed Sargent didn't break his ankle that was freaky his full weight on top of the ball while running.

I'd give us a punchers chance! Will be good for our young guys to get some experience in this environment, and then Marsch can take over.

I don’t think Marsch will be coach in 2026. The US doesn’t have to qualify for the next WC so unless the team has a meltdown in Gold Cup or Nations League they will keep Berhalter around for 2026.

Bradley lost his job after getting throttled by Mexico in the Gold Cup final, Klinsmann lost his job after struggling in qualifying.

I thought he had a hyperextended knee before I saw him holding his ankle.

That is a very good point. So 3 teams get automatic berths next WC? Does that mean only one team will get a chance to advance out of CONCACAF?

Remember, it is expanding to 48 teams

2026 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The United Bid personnel anticipated that all three host countries would be awarded automatic berths.[32] Eventually, on August 31, 2022, during a visit to Guatemala, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed six CONCACAF teams will qualify for the World Cup, including Canada, Mexico and the United States as hosts.[33][34] The FIFA Council is expected to approve all three hosts' automatic qualifications for the tournament

I thought that was 2026.

 

[Dback Jon]

It is 2026 - when the US/Mexico/Canada hosts. CONCAF, like all federations, is getting more berths. 2 additional berths, plus a chance at another (6 Federations each get a chance at one of two additional)

 

[Stout]

2026 is when the next WC happens.

 

[Stout]

So there is a 2 hour pregame? Coverage said that it starts at 9AM EST 6AM PST.

Coverage starts at 9AM eastern, but the game starts at 10.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

With the automatic bid this next cycle and expanded field, unless Concacaf is updated or something shifts there shouldn't be much qualifying drama

Are there any current managers of national teams that are with clubs as manager? Let alone in the big leagues?

I think Marsch wants to prove himself in Europe and he'll make 2-3x more per year there. If successful, that spread will only increase. Would need him to flame out of England and land with a mid table team in one of the less monied leagues for the financials to start to make sense

I think we could be stuck with Gregg for a while and I'm not sure who else could step in

Except major managers seem to like the challenge sometimes.

My head isn't in it right now. Call it euphoria.

Not high right now, (or ever) but maybe have had a drink or two to be sure.

 

[Milgod]

8 AM for those in AZ.

3pm here in the UK.

Oh yes.

Musah and Pulisic score today, that’s what my gut tells me.

50/50. I'll take it.

 

[Lorenzo]

I missed a lot of the match, I saw the goal and am gutted for Pulisic. I can't see him being able to play vs. The Netherlands especially if he had to go to the hospital. The Netherlands are a good matchup, but hard to imagine this team can win much more without their best goal scoring threat.

I thought the weah offsides call was tight and I don't know why VAR didn't look at it? I thought I heard them say something about technology proves he was offside? It was a great finish by him though even if it didn't count. He should of had a goal before that.
