So September opponents will be Japan and Saudi Arabia. Not bad matchups considering that the European teams have all decided that playing a Nations League tournament is more important than World Cup prep.

Yeah what the hell is that? Atlanta is central?

Also where is Becky G come from? Neither me nor my kids really know her from much other than Encanto, but sometime in the last year she struck a deal with the devil and is every commercial under the planet and just appears as a personality on everything!

Becky G is a Mexican-American singer. Lives in LA with her soccer "star" boyfriend and fringe USMNT Sebastian Lleget. (Yes I know he plays in New England now). She's connected to the soccer world and has done promo stuff for MLS and the LA WC bid. there's your connection

More like UEFA decided making $$$ is more important than letting their national teams get ready for WC prep.

She's been extremely popular in Latin America for several years now.

Should provide good depth for when half the squad gets arrested for having extra-marital sex.

Other than Zimmerman and Long, I can't think of anyone else on the team is married.

I'm counting on half of them being good Christians and keeping it in their pants for a month.

We should petition Congress to provide a confiscated Russian oligarch's yacht to sit in international waters for USMNT conjugal visits.

I feel like we would win on many levels if we could pull it off.

Damn it, you beat me to the McKennie joke. The only question is whether he'll last long enough to play the second group stage game.

Some good quotes in this article
Coaching a national team is a different animal to working at club level. Outside of major tournaments, you see your players a couple of times a year -- for just a few days at a time -- and the focus, inevitably, is on matches, not training.
"That was the biggest learning curve right there," he says. "When I took the job, I was intent on building a strong culture within the team. And people said you can't do that. I disagree with that, but obviously, from a playing-style standpoint, you have to get back to basics and keep everything really simple, because you have no time to train. That's been one of the biggest things I've learned since taking the job."

Yes. But I would register for FIFa account to be on top of it. There have numerous drawings and it has been very complicated

I thought they had agreed that it would be sold.

Guess not.

There are going to be a lot of pissed off Qataris who were planning on being a little freer with their lifestyle for a month.

Just sneak your own flask in. What's the worst that could happen?

Nothing much. Cut off your hand. Put you in jail for who knows how long. Hold your passport and make you build a building for them as an indentured servant.

Biggest bribe ever continues to keep on giving.

I just love the line in the article that says a designated "sandy plot" off the side of a hotel will be made available as a designating drinking area.

Is there a greater than zero chance that they just change countries to something like England, Germany, France, or the US?
