Three the Hard Way: The CONCACAF Thread

[ilikecheese]

Because I know at least @Garrick has been waiting for this, points per game by region:

2.2 CONMEBOL
1.9 CONCACAF
1.4 UEFA
1.1 CAF
0.3 AFC

Yeah but...look at the easy groups them CONCACAF teams were in...

I find it amusing that Honduras had the weakest group and may be the only one to not make the knockout stages

They are on the decline. Panama is going to take their place in the next WC.

Why can't Canada get themselves sorted? Thought they were on the rise a few years back...

I asked a Canadian that and his only reply was "I'd like to introduce you to the Canadian FA". Really they had IMO the best player in CONCACAF (DeRosario) for a few years and couldn't even make the hexagonal. You'd think with all the monies there, the fact that a ton of people play it there that you'd see something.

 

[Garrick]

TWO DOWN!

Yeah the Canadian Soccer Association is garbage. My hope is that the MLS and NASL clubs eventually get enough clout (mostly via their academies) that they can force the crap to get out and take control of the FA.

The Canadians are the biggest underperforming football nation on the planet. And it's not a talent issue, just look at the women's team FFS.

Interesting...would be great to hear from a Canadian on this. I reckon @canuckblue must be Canadian...not sure who else is...

It appears that they did win a Gold Cup in 2000, so congrats eh?

Probably @canuck as well, and @Toronto Blue, @Torontoblue, @torontoevertonian, and @TorontoToffee.

@CanadaToffee @CanadaToffeeGirl @CalgarianEvertonian @Calgary blue @calgary bluenose @Calgary Latchford @CalgaryBlue @Edmonton Ed might have an opinion as well.

 

[obc]

Christ, soon you'll be starting your own tournament up and calling it The World Series Of Soccer and claiming to be world champions of a national competition.

We already call a decidedly pedestrian top flight domestic league "major league"

Ours is the "A League". Really is 25 letters too high up the alphabet.

I can only suppose your 2nd Division will be called the "B League"?
