Jamaica knocks Canada out of the Nations League and clinches a spot in Copa by winning 3-2 today and advancing via away goals. There’s a chance that Canada and Mexico might have to play each other with the loser not making Copa lmao

Brazil’s first ever home World Cup qualification defeat. Nuts.

aside from that, what a terrible game. Brazil called for 15 fouls and two yellow cards in the first 15 minutes. the beautiful game is dead.

Mexico scores at 101 minutes to tie the aggregate score at 2-2 (9 minutes of extra time announced). ET should be interesting.

Feels like Honduras got CONCACAF'd.  9 minutes of added time seemed like a lot, but 2 more minutes from that 9 minutes is really stretching it.

BTW, winner will face the USA in the Semis, so important match.  I don't mind matching up with Mexico again though.

 Edit; actually it sounds like if the match ends in penalties the US will face Jamaica. If someone scores before extra time ends, the US will face the winner

USMNT ends up having the best QF of any seeded team in CONCACAF Nations League, as Costa Rica gets blown out, Canada blows a 1 goal aggregate lead at home, and Mexico is currently trying to survive in penalties.

I only had the Spanish broadcast and I very much do no speak Spanish but that all seemed especially shady.

Someone (in Spanish): We can't miss Copa, just let him keep taking kicks until he makes one. 

On a related note, that dude has to be the worst penalty taker ever.  The keeper almost stopped the 3rd one too.

To be fair, the US did have by far the easiest opponent

Wtf Garnacho? What a goal.

Nice 3-0 win. I forget how much Everton horsefeathers themselves when Tony Martial puts on the black gloves.

Pepi buzzer beater in the champo. He’s very good at scoring off the bench.

ManU was up 2-0 and 3-1 on Galatasaray but tied 3-3. That, combined with Copenhagen somehow getting a draw at Bayern Munich, means ManU needs to beat Bayern and hope Copenhagen-Galatasaray ends in a draw to advance. If there is a winner in that second game, that team moves on and ManU is out.

Lens were really put under the microscope. Hit for 6.

Good God, that is horrible. 😂

I stopped following it because they started playing too fast and loose with the definition, but if you love those types of bloopers then I have the twitter account for you: https://twitter.com/wpiootbgw/

[JHBulls]

That is what happens when all your defenders place bets on the opposition winning the same match. 😂

Columbus Crew, holy horsefeathers

 

 

Crew was down 2-0 at 75'

Copa Draw for US:

USA

Uruguay

Panama

Bolivia

Hardest pot 2 opponent by ranking, 2nd hardest pot 3 opponent but will have the easiest pot 4 opponent unless Trinidad somehow beats Canada. 
 

Seems like a pretty solid path to advance for the US

The bolded is technically true by FIFA ranking, but of those 4(Panama/Chile/Venezuela/Paraguay) I would prefer Panama 1000 times out of 1000.  Good draw, I believe I have a good chance of going to the Uruguay game which is extra exciting.

Richarlison scores for the first time in 6000 days and he pulls one out of the Antoine Griezmann school of horsefeathers goal celebrations. 😂

ManU finish bottom of their UCL group. If ten Hag doesn’t get sacked for this, the final nail could be losing at Liverpool this weekend.
