Question: Do you think the USMNT will qualify for the World Cup?

Not uncommon these days for people with heart issues that could lead to sudden cardiac arrest. One of my daughter's friends has one at 14 and it's allowed her to live a normal life, including playing soccer.
Hopefully it's all academic for us before the March fixtures. Don't like going down to the wire.
Mexico is eating a sanction because of the behavior of their fans. Seems FIFA has had enough of the "PUTO!" chant. They'll play their first 2 home WCQ matches in an empty stadium as a result. If fans return and the chant still happens, FIFA may very well dock points.
But FIFA is being extremely hypocrital here. After all these qualifiers are for a World Cup Final in QATAR, one of the most homophobic countries on Earth.

Preliminary Gold Cup roster finally released.
As expected it's MLS heavy but there's a smattering of Europe in there.

Nice to see someone sticking to their guns when it comes to inappropriate fan chants since UA won't do it.
Mexico fans are a special kind of awful though. You saw the Nations' League Final. That was just a normal day at the office. They throw crap and make asses of themselves all of the time. Just wish Mexico's federation would step up and do something about it.
Gonna be really funny if getting points docked multiple times causes them to miss a World Cup Final though. Next time FIFA calls them on it then it will be a three point penalty in the Octagonal.
Well, at least FIFA has taken a stance, and seem willing to stick to it, unlike our administration, who just try to cover it up.
Yep. They mad and Tata is coaching to keep his seat from getting too hot. Hence a loaded roster for the Gold Cup.
Gold Cup 23 man roster is out. GGG is very much using the Cup to experiment. Right call. Just wish we'd have brought Cowell to cap tie him.
So we'll know Tuesday whether we open with Haiti or Bermuda, who will be playing their preliminary match Tuesday.
It's gonna be Haiti. Much better match-up.
We need to be finalists in this tournament. Anything less is a failure given our talent.

When the FIFA rankings drop we can expect to be a top 10 team, placing us solidly in POT 2 for WCF group selection. Just got to take care of business in qualifying.
I think so too. We started the GC ranked around 20th (IIRC) and took a jump mid-way. Should be 10th or a little higher. one would think that we should always be a top ten team considering the 350 million population.
We were right at 20th going into the summer but with two cup wins and the shakeup from Euro and Copa America we should climb a lot. 8-15 will get us into POT 2. Don't think we'll be displacing any of the big dogs and climb up to 1-7 for POT 1.
I suspect it'll be us at 9 and Mexico at 10 or vice versa.
The unofficial rankings coming out from IFTV and the like pretty much all have us at 9th with Mexico rounding out the top 10.
Josh Sargent has transferred to Norwich in the Premier League from Werder-Bremen.
Keeps in a European top flight as WB was relegated last year, while Norwich was promoted.

Steffen had a great game in the Community Shield and probably would have been MOTM had Ake not gotten caught in possession in the 88th minute. Ake then fouled the attacker, surrendering a spot kick.
More and more our depth at keeper just keeps looking better and better.

It was far more noticeable when the students were chanting it in Acapella. Plus it was going on for Atleast 10 years and 90% of this board thought they were just chanting “roll tide”. Had Alabama fans not taken the self righteous stance against LSU for saying “F saban” and Corso not chose DLD over SHA on Gameday then it is far more likely nothing would have ever been said about it.
