Conmebol should ask for Guyana and Surinam and Trinidad and some other crap Caribbean nations to join and then ask for one of the Concacaf slots.Yeah that "only five of nine teams" from South America hurdle is just unfair...

Pretty sure that doesn't include the QF match. They were citing that repeatedly here early in the week.

@thegoalkeeper: Fox says that according to its Nielsen data, Saturday's quarterfinal doubleheader was the most-watched men's World Cup quarterfinal since at least 1990, which is almost the whole of recorded history for the World Cup on live U.S. English-language TV (it dates back to 1986). https://twitter.com/ThroughBalls/status/1016052767796944897

This sounde nice.
Until this:
Recorded history: 32 years.
We've had wars that were longer than that

those are fantastic numbers when you consider how many millions more were watching on Telemundo. These games could have broken 10 million viewers combined.

what really stands out is that it is a Liga MX team trolling. That is a league in which players do not mind taking a dive or three. For those fans to laugh this much at Neymar shows everyone just how over the top he has been.Neymar challenge is amazing
So funny though
Sebowski
Footballguy
He might have accidentally helped the cause. He's being thoroughly embarrassed. You can tell he made an decision to ease up on it in his last game. I remember at one point he opened his mouth wide like he was going to scream and then he shut it and underplayed the foul instead.what really stands out is that it is a Liga MX team trolling.

Good for him. Probably will be better at managing a national team than a big club team.

Dancing Pards is also pretty special.
If Belgium wins I may have to find the GIF of Martinez cutting shapes at a Jason Derulo concert.

This game tomorrow has the feeling that it’s really the final. It’s hard to believe one of either Croatia or fookin England will play a World Cup final in 2018. It’s completely deserved and I’m happy for both countries, but damn ...
I agree. But, it is hard to say the English or Croatian side couldn't win a game over the victor of tomorrow's match

This is why you can never be happy when the US is out. That whole half of the bracket was a crapshoot.

Footballguy
I don’t know abou that, I certainly think Belgium would have fits with England (I think both teams speed in attack would expose Croatia’s back 4).
CletiusMaximus
Footballguy
Sure, any of the 4 could win it at this point. I’m just stating the obvious perhaps, people on twitter and the like are treating today’s game like the final. Timing really sucks for me, but sacrifices must be made ...
I don't know that anyone was "happy" I made peace with the result pretty quickly, and had been looking forward to the WC even without the US - but, I wasn't happy the US missed out - just pragmatic.
There is no viable excuse for the US missing out - we were kind of in between cycles of players, but had enough talent to qualify. But, at the same time, I am as excited about the team's future as I have been in a long time.
