Watched the game. Bit of luck for Wales to score, but dogged defending to prevent Ukraine scoring. The Welsh fans roar at the end was heard live over here loud and clear. As USMNT Head Coach Gregg Berhalter said when asked about Wales being team USA's 1st opponent in November: "Wales...

USA 0 v 0 Uruguay wasn't cancelled. Very entertaining despite the score. Was looking forward to seeing how the #1 team in CONCACAF would fare against Panama after that game ended. Got a Canadian Premier League game instead. Now I know why. Which team had the pay dispute and why? NJL (...

We will see soon enough. Canada pretty much knows the players they will have in Qatar. The USA, not so much. The sorting out process begins now. That is going to be interesting. NJL (..And the same process for both Women's National Teams will be much the same. Their Octagonal for WWC2023...

The USA plays the winner of Wales/Scotland/Ukraine playoff first, then England second and Iran last to finish Group play. Canada plays, in the following order, Belgium, Morocco, and Croatia in Group play. I think that it is possible for both teams to get to the knock-out rounds, but it would...

It worked as I expected. The USA's scoring differential was more than Costa Rica could overcome and the USA finished 3rd ahead of 4th place Costa Rica - who won 2-0 vs the USA - behind 1st place Canada & 2nd place Mexico. Costa Rica will now play New Zealand to qualify for the 2022 World Cup...
