2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

Anything in California isn’t a top stadium.

If the USA soccer was doing homework they’d force a team to go play USA in one of the college football stadiums. I’d imagine they can’t because the width of the field but could you imagine team USA at night in the horseshoe or in a white out at Penn State?

I know a place:

92,000 in 80% humidity sound tough enough for the Belgians?

We’re going to need to keep a 0 on the board, because without Balogun there’s nothing to suggest we’ll get more than 1

Soccer dorks - why doesn't Reina play more?
If you tell me there are better options, I will 100% believe you. Just feels like there needs to be a shuffle and he needs to see more time in the next match.

Seen enough of Pepi and Weah

I'm too busy telling neighborhood kids to get off my lawn to figure out how to insert a tweet, but Taylor Twellman tweeted the following:

Just Sayin'

As lackluster as Pepi looks at the striker spot we need a body there for hold up play. Haji Wright could be a wild card.

Reyna is more of an attacking midfielder. He has his moments but overall he’s been pretty average.

If Poch wanted to get really fancy he could roll out a false 9 with Pulisic in the center.

That’s me being silly though. I assume we’ll go with what got us here. Rotate in Pepi and give it our best shot.

Now they're talking FIFA could decide "multiple matches" were warranted for Baloguns suspension. Now I don't want to jump the gun and incite a riot prior to that happening, but Lord have mercy should it.

These people think that these other podunk countries get "rowdy" when they smell something off with FIFA in their home countries. There's millions of gun toting pecker woods here and its our 250th anniversary! God knows how we like to come together in a common cause our oppressors Haha

The difference is they don’t have children’s hospitals there

and "FIFA" sounds French anyway so it isn't going to take much to get the party started.

Agree with this. Thought about Haji Wright too. At least Pepi and him have a history of putting up goals for their league teams.

Every option looks slim compared to what Balogun was bringing.

I really thought Tim Weah would be something of an attacking force too. Seems like he’s fallen off the map.

It will take a massive team effort Monday.
