Yes I know. MLS has added since then but also La liga has also risen past MLS

But at the time, the tweet was on point

is there a chance for us to play England before the final? I'm trying to make sense of the bracket and see if there is a possibilty of a match on the 4th

Some stats from Round 1 of the Group Stage:

24 Matches
75 goals (3.13/match)

Last time the avg goal/match rate was that high was 1958.

Lionel Messi leads the Golden Boot Race with 3.

There were 3 red cards in the first round and all came in the opening Mexico vs South Africa match

So I believe there is a chance for the US and England to face off on the 4th. How amazing would that be?

No this isn't mathematically possible. There is a small possibility that the USA can play in the Philadelphia July 4th match (we have to finish 3rd and then be placed in the appropriate match leading to that spot.

England cannot play in that match at all.

And "only" 9 ties.

But a few of those were great games
NED-JAP might have been the best first round game
ESP-CAV was also great if only to see Spain so humiliated lol
IRA-NZ was pretty good too

That poor kid eating Mexican food in New York.

Though it was a truck so there's a chance it was decent.

This...that is probably the only way I would try Mexican food on either coast to be honest. Although I am sure California has some decent brick and mortar spots here and there. The Brit getting hooked on tacos from taco trucks in Texas is relatable. Early on in Covid that was probably what I ate 2/3 of the time.

One of our good friends from Houston lives in NYC and the only Mexican she eats is from a taco truck.

When she visits we meet her at Papasitos

Why on earth is USA stuck playing the early game tomorrow?

Seems like a Friday evening game would maximize exposure in the host country and boost ratings

Holiday has nothing to do with timing.

The fact that tomorrow night would have been NBA finals game 7, if it had been needed, is the correct answer.

Friday is my regular day off, yet I will still get holiday pay that day. Thank you government for a new holiday.

Now if we can just make ramadan a holiday.

The Swede and Dutch fans aren't going to know what hit them. Dutch fan march is 2.5 miles from Rice stadium to NRG. Hope there are hydration stations set up along the way or there will be a bunch of fans falling out before reaching NRG

Ha yep...this 96 degree swampy heat is something most Euros simply have never encountered. But any Dutch fan who arrives here today or tomorrow is a fool if they don't get the memo to bring water just by spending a few minutes outside.

Main Street from Rice Stadium to NRG. I think we're going to get dropped off closer to NRG so we can watch/join closer to the stadium.
