So that's CONCACAF over and done with. Telling that Canada topped the qualifying group.

It is kind of astounding that after all the progress North American Soccer has made the past 30 years we have very little to show for it in the World Cup.

CONCACAF has arguably the worst competition. Difficult to improve much against Europe and South America when you're playing Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica over and over again.

Mexico/US/maybe Canada now are the only decent teams, and all are second round teams at most.

I figure the only way to get better is more and more players in the top European leagues.

I can't decide who to root for now.  I've historically backed Germany.

Gloire à la France!

I imagine it's impossible to merge with the South Americans?

South Korea doesn't float your boat?

Argies aren't being overly inspiring

Very dull game

I've not been a fan of Korean character, but the newer generations seem better.  Sure, why not.

Argies aren't being overly inspiring

Yet they are leading by 1-0. A lesson to remember?

Push the defender so that he stupidly retaliates against another player?
