:Jamaica and Costa Rica came off as the weakest teams in the group this first week, and Jamaica was screwed by COVID restrictions, not having some of their best players.

 

CR has 1 point from 2 home games so far.

boy, gotta think 7 is the minimum there - win both home games and get a point on the road. Can't be dropping points at home to the two bottom teams and need to at least hold Panama.

 

How good is Costa Rica? All I know is they’re typically right up there with us and Mexico. Hope they win the first two and then whatever happens in Costa Rica is gravy. You could definitely convince me 7 should be the minimum though if Costa Rica is nothing special.

 

someone else can give you a better answer but I was under the impression that they were definitely a step down from where they've been in recent years

 

failing to beat this ageing costa rica team at home would be very disappointing. More so than any of the results in this window. 12 after two windows would be reasonable - I always though 5 was the low end of acceptable in this window but I think its probably 7 in the next window - maybe 6 is low end.

Pulisic out 10 days.

Sounds like a month for Reyna.

Salzburg 1-3 on first half penalties. Sevilla is lucky to still have 11 on the pitch - a lot of violent tackles.

and there goes en-nesryi - he should have gone in the first half

ManU will probably still advance but that's a result they could look back on in three months with regret if they get sent to the Europa League by a point or two.

So the PSG media circus arrived in Bruges yesterday :roll:

Full house tonight (with Covid Safe Ticket required for all) ensuring a warm welcome. 8-)

However, Elliott expressed his disagreement with the Football Association's decision and offered support to Struijk.

 

Replying to an Instagram post, he wrote: "Sorry about this Pascal... I think it's wrong! But it'll soon blow over brother and you'll be back in no time smashing it again... keep positive".

It's not exactly the group of death is it? Maybe they'll somehow finish second and draw Bayern in the round of 16 . . .

I am made uncomfortable by the framing of away qualifiers as if they are fraught with actual peril, so the fact that they shot this like it’s Sicario 3 is annoying, but its still a cool vid.

It’s not but Atalanta is solid and Villarreal won the Europa last year. I don’t think they’ll finish third but losing this eliminates some margin for error. It was a harder group but that’s what happened last year. They won in Paris and hammered Leipzig but then lost on the road to a random Turkish team. Had they won that game they would have topped the group. They didn’t and finished third.

 

But finishing second as you said would be bad also because of who you’re likely to draw in the next round.

Interesting albeit long article. I am posting because I think it describes a lot of world politics these days and the re-rise of populism and false prophets.

Dest is back. Played 90 solid minutes at Left WB.

This is going to be awesome:

 

 

They're 1 team shy of 48 in 2023 by my count, so my guess is they invite a 2nd division team(until MLS gets to 30) to get to the right amount for group play(not sure if 3 or 4 per group)

CONCACAF, everyone:

So nice to have the Champions League back so we can watch the best teams in the world and also their opponents, Real Madrid.
