2014 World Cup

Man, Val has gotten cocky. Pride goeth before the fall.

The rivalry with Mexico is the only interesting thing about CONCACAF, so I milk it for all its worth.  I get pretty worked up with Mexican hatred every tourney.  They make it easy though with their fifth columnists showing up to every US-Mexico match played in the US.

Also, the bags of urine they throw at us in Mexico City.

Really, the way we get treated playing in central american countries is a big reason a part of me wants CONCACAF teams to go fuck themselves.

Racist

Well I also hate Canada, but only because they are so horrible I find it offensive.

The fightin' Flannels.

You lot should join CONMEBOL - you would still qualify and would play better opposition. The US needs to play proper teams more often in order to progress.

Some crowds will still hate your guts, mind. Oh, to play away at Venezuela.

Landon Donovan sabotaged the power grid.

[Maladict]

You were equal to them at best.

We both got to the round of 16 after finishing second in our groups. Considering no common opponents there is only so much conclusion that can be drawn.

They were fourth in qualifying and only avoided fifth through a miracle bailout by the US. We were first. We won the last gold cup in a final against Panama.

A common opponent wouldn't have made much difference, seeing how inconsistent all sides have been so far.

Well, Israel is in the UEFA, so I see no reason why we can't have the US in the UEFA when we have Azerbadjan.

There have been times when our team has run off the field in El Salvador and Honduras and company while being pelted with rocks and glass bottles.  It is amazing nobody has ever been injured.

The travel would be really tough, and I'm not sure we would be such a shoe in for qualification. They have 4.5 spots right now, and teams like Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, and Chile....not to mention other sometimes good sides like Paraguay and Ecuador.

We've been invited and played in the Copa América. More participation in that would probably make sense.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, CONCINCPACAF is pretty much set up to guarantee US qualification.

If they merged CONMEBOL and CONCACAF there would be more spots to go around. But I guess FIFA wants the odd central american minnow to show up (and tbf Costa Rica have impressed), so that's probably not going to happen.

Regular participation in Copa América would be good, certainly. They always invite Mexico, anyway. I'm really looking forward to the 2016 centennial edition in the US.

It should guarantee Mexico, the US, and Canada every WC.   Ah well you still have to show up and play.  Those Central American teams are not push overs.

[Grey Fox]

CANUSMEX should form a confederation with Australia & New Zealand with a 3 spot WC qualification.

Fuck you FIFA.

Canada? 

[Valmy]

Canada? 

You heard me.  They need to step it up.

Soccer Canada targets WC Qualification in 2025 for a good showing.
