USA hosting Copa America next year…

[Maroon Eagle]

Not a surprise considering that the US, Mexico, and Canada are co-hosting the ‘26 World Cup.

Opening match in Atlanta. Finals in Miami.

Need to finish the deal tonight to make sure we're in that tournament. Should be a formality with the 3-0 win in the 1st leg last week. But that will be a huge tournament. Really, it's time to combine Copa America and the Gold Cup and have one tournament for the whole hemisphere every 4 years.

Are there games in starkville?

That tournament is massive for this group of players. They need the experience in host venues before the WC

Also need experience playing some of the top South American teams. Hopefully, they'll get a lot of friendlies vs European teams in 2025 as well since they're not playing CONCACAF qualification.

We'll probably schedule a friendly against Lithuania and Paraguay to get ready. Lol

What? San Marino and Liechtenstein aren't available?

I would love to know a percentage of how many SPSers immediately get this reference.

I think SPSers skew into their late 40s/50s?

It would only make sense to use the olympic facilities in Flowood.

Damn. We’re down to 10 men & down 1-2 with over 30 minutes remaining. This has all the makings of another monumental USMT choke.

Still up 4-2 on aggregate. Need to hold on for sure.

Looks like away goals tiebreaker is in play. Hate that rule, but in this case works in our favor.

I'm really interested to see how Gregg explains away Dest's actions tonight because that was the most dumb *** sending off I've ever seen.

We’ve had coaching problems for sure. And this younger generation is way more talented than any we’ve had. But a lot of them are underperforming dubmasses for sure.

The USMNT is the Mississippi State University of FIFA…

(nah, I won’t sarcasterisk that…)

USA advances.

He might as well have got on all fours and lifted a leg like a dog.

Dest went absolutely mental just because he didn’t agree with a possible foul and a throw in call at midfield? Dude punts the ball out of the stadium and then blows kisses to the ref. Had a complete mental breakdown there. Just crazy.

Some of the leaders in that locker room need to kick his ***. He had 3 teammates telling him to STFU and he kept on. Never seen anything like that in my life. And neither have the former men's and women's national team players on the postgame show.

I may be confused - we “won” 4-2 with both home & home games combined. Where does a tiebreaker come into play?

If T&T had scored 2 more goals to win 4-1 tonight, the aggregate would be 4-4 and USA would advance on away goals 1-0. It’s a stupid rule that Champions League has gotten rid of. But apparently it’s in play for CONCACAF Nations League.

Noxapater is hosting Ecuador vs. Grenada.
