***Official 2022 World Cup Thread***

Ignoring how ****** the host nation was, the competition level in this World Cup was amazing throughout. Going to go down as one of the best one's in my lifetime. Hopefully this springboards the popularity in the US towards being the host nation next time around.

Could/should transition from least sustainable model to most.

You'd think, we won't be building any new stadiums right? I don't know all the stadium requirements but no way we don't have what it takes right now.
 
Cannot wait for 2024 Copa America and 2026 World Cup!

In the mean-time, I hope Argentina stops in the U.S. for a friendly on their impending World Victory Tour, and Messi ends up with Inter Miami in the M.L.S.

Let's Go U.S.A. Soccer!
LA Olympics too

Could be an even more important time for US soccer than even the mid '90s were, with the World Cup in '94 and the Atlanta Olympics in '96 - being that this country is a lot more receptive to soccer than we were back then.

I was at a futsal tournament today downtown DSM and my sons game was set to start just as the PK’s were happening. They had a big screen with the game on it and the entire tournament stopped to watch the PK’s. It was a ton of fun.
 
So apparently Brazil will retain it's FIFA world #1 ranking, with Argentina at #2 and France at #3. Proving once again that FIFA doesn't make one iota of sense in what it does.

How very college football of them. Brazil must have a great quality loss while Argentina has no quality losses. Shame that Argentina couldn’t get that quality loss, even with those extra data points.

I have been around the beautiful game since I was a little kid. Nobody has ever been able to explain to me why Morocco is abbreviated MAR?
English ---> French
Morocco ---> Maroc

That's my guess, French.
Morocco was under French control and is translated to Maroc in French.
I'll try to be quicker on the draw next time. I'm only 14 days late.
