It won't happen, but they should really merge CONCACAF and CONMEBOL qualifying. Besides preventing truly awful teams like this Mexico from qualifying, the US would also play better opposition instead of all the crap in CONCACAF, which would benefit them in the long run.

You really don't want to see any team but the US ever qualifying from NA then.

They didn't. It's New Zealand that dropped the ball.

Yes I know they made the playoff but when was the last time the Oceania team beat the CONCACAF team?  It was basically assured.

Playground-level football this.

You yanks should have never gifted Mexico the chance to be here.

It's still much easier on the eye than many games I watched in the 80s where the ball was passed endlessly in midfield, then back to the defense, then back to the goalie who picked it up, wasted a couple more seconds, rinse/repeat.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Didn't Mexico have a decent team a few years ago?  What happened?

It has never happen but it only has happened twice. T&T vs Bahrain for the 2006 WC is the other match up.

Mexican footballers found more lucrative employment with the drug gangs?  No idea but they have been horrible for years.

Oceania is the only confederation that is even more of a joke than ours.

I think we have enough crappy island nations and Euro colonies as it is.

Best thing from the first two games: the freekick spray.

Croatia doing well despite almost being knocked out by Iceland. Yet again we are reminded how far ahead Europe is.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yes, that's a good idea actually being implemented. I'm shocked.

Fortunately Costa failed, the entire stadium would've rioted right there.
