No they said that geographical constraints still exist, a group can only have 2 european teams, and no other confederations in one group, so once nigeria or morocco come out , they will take out the groups of tunisia, egypt and senegal out of the pot

That's not totally true, Europe will gain only 3 more teams, the other confederations though will have pretty pointless qualifying. North America will have 6 (the entire Hex) South America will have 6 Africa will have 9!!! Asia will have 8!!! and Oceania will have 1 direct and also 2 playoff spots, not sure from which confederations yet This expansion is only made for the smaller countries to qualify, not European teams Confederation Total FIFA eligible members Percentage of members with places in finals Total places in finals (including host) Total places before 2026 (excluding host, including half-places) AFC 46 17% 8 4.5 CAF 54 17% 9 5 CONCACAF 35 17% 6 3.5 CONMEBOL 10 60% 6 4.5 OFC 11 9% 1 0.5 UEFA 55 29% 16 13 Play-Off 2 - Total 211 23% 48 31 (+ host)

7 Playoff games in europe, 4 of them ended in 0-0 (including all 3 of the return legs) and 2 in 1-0, boring.......

yaaaay usa are not the only losers, i feel better now

And Israel

Yea it's 4AM, 7AM, 10 AM in cali, the final is at 7AM , dont think i will watch much, can watch it later but will be hard not to get spoiled

naa, the WC will be in a really bad time here, not many people will wake up specially for soccer, though fox did spend ton of money to buy the rights for the WC

Fuck this american team, like always in american soccer, they dont really give a shit and it shows, they should've kept Jurgen Klinsman and not get scared after 2 games against Mexico and Costa Rica a year ago, i dont think he would've let them play like this in Trinidad.

USOC will decide in 2 weeks if they will bid for the 2026 Games, the choices are Denver, Salt Lake City or Reno-Tahoe (or possibly Reno-Tahoe-Vegas) I think they will make a mistake, we already have the 2028 games and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, take a breather guys

Is there no traffic between Orlando and Tampa? I can't go anywhere from l.a without encountering serious traffic

Today after the announcement of Paris 2024 and LA 2028 more came out about 2026 Winter Games with some speculations that USA might try to bid for those as well (in either Salt Lake City or Denver) Honestly i feel like it's a big mistake, we already have 2028 Olympics AND 2026 FIFA World Cup (only competition is Morocco)

We have a lot to offer in the city of angels, a lot of stuff to see beyond the olympics

did you go to your neighbors last year?

Yes totally! I actually live not too far from the Sepulveda basin where they will have the temp venues for slalom. Equestrian and shooting. And right next to the first station for the public transport that will connect to the main lines to go to the main areas etc. Off course it's in 11 years but I don't anticipate leaving the area

YESSSSSSSSSS THE OLYMPICS COMING TO MY HOME who wants to already book rooms in my house?

I agree with that. But how do you compare him with Pele. Or Diego Maradona

A lot of people consider messi as greatest ever. More then Pele or Maradona. I can't with 3 loses in international finals.

At This rate we will get Nigeria who are there always but also DR Congo, Morocco/Gabon, Burkina Faso/Cape Verde and Egypt/Uganda off course Ivory Coast, Ghana and Tunisia can still qualify but they definetly dont make it easy on themselvs

South America in the playoffs against New Zealand Asia vs 4th North American Team

oh jeez, thats so stupid, where do we even find those standings?

omg yes you're right, missed it, however it's still very possible that both GD and GF will be the same (Syria wins 2-1, Uzbekistan wins 3-0)

Someone knows what will happen in Asia tomorrow if both Uzbekistan and Syria win but uzbekistan will score 1 more goal? Both Teams will be equal on all tiebrakers 1) Points - will be same 2) Goal Difference - would be the same +2 3) Goals Scored - Would be the same (right now Syria scored 7 Uzbekistan 6) 4) Points in Matches between tied teams, Each team beat the other at their field 5) Goal Difference, Goals Scored, Away Goals (each team won 1-0, so all even) who will qualify?? LOL

The stadium looks cool. And I did hear about it. But I really don't think this city is capable of hosting such event. But marathon will be gorgeous. It's just a beautiful city and area of the country

As someone who's going to eugene few years in a row already, i have NO CLUE how they will do it there, this is a small stadium, a tiny city, i have no idea how they can accommodate all the athletes, media and fans! every year i come there i look around and i'm clueless how they will ever do it

Na was a great weather. Just like now. Tropical storm in Houston and 110 in la
