If they really go to a 48 team WC we may have just witnessed the last meaningful US v Mexico qualifier ever. In fact we may never play in a meaningful qualifier ever again.

I'd take a 48 nation World Cup over a WC every 2 years, but having 48 teams in some place like Qatar would suck.

Ive never thought about that aspect of it... It's going to limit the number of countries that have the capability and capacity to host the World Cup. The rich get richer...

If they meet the right price, any nation is capable.

Seeing him get used as a false-9, combined with our weakness at that position makes me wonder…

Any one else think of the Duran Duran song when they see Young Boyzz.

Nice, they'll play in the house that Johnny built.

Seriously though, it's an easy drive from Buffalo.
