looks like Canada isn’t gonna get to play their round of 32 match in Vancouver. Oh well. Off to Los Angeles to lose.

Also, we will play the third place team from either B, E, F, I or J:

No Scotland, No Party up next.

Too bad they didn't play at MetLife. Would have been an insane couple of days with them around.

Second one:

“According to The Athletic, there is now greater than a 99% chance that the U.S. will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 next week after the latter's 3-1 victory over Qatar on Wednesday.”

South Africa with an upset 1-0 win over South Korea. The win pushes them from 4th to 2nd in Group A.

Canada has 2 wins, 2 loses and 1 tie vs S.Korea. How can you honestly say they will lose? Guess you are negatively biased against Canada. So sad.

His point was in LA it could have been a pro Korean crowd but doesn’t matter as they play RSA

why shouldn’t we be biased against Canada? Their home fans have booed our anthem for years at NHL and int’l tourney matches ….

Honestly, I couldn't have cared less had they won or lost a (potential) match vs South Korea however now, based on the fact that you THOUGHT I had some kind of "negative bias" towards Canada (nice ASSumption), all I gotta say is "BAFANA BAFANA!!!"

Thank you and, YES, you're correct about them "boooing" our national anthem.

Canadians sang US anthem in Montreal last month.
lol...you just can't help yourself, can you? From the VERY SAME ARTICLE:

"Monday’s brief carrying of the anthem contrasted with last year's Bell Centre reception for “The Star-Spangled Banner,” as fans loudly booed the anthem amid political tensions before a Canada-U.S. game at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament in Montreal.

Also I wasn't the one who brought up the "booing" in the first place so why quote me?

Suffice it to say that at the time, there were reasons why Canadians were not exactly enamored with the USA.

The Koreans went out there looking like they thought the "W" was a given. Had they played the entire match, the way they did the final 15-20 minutes, they liiely put a couple in the net. Sucks for them.
Agreeable but also their best player inexplicably sat first half so they only had him for 45

They did boo us after Trump’s comments about annexing them so I get their point but they’ve booed us for years so it’s not a “Trump” thing - it’s been a long time thing

Canadians’ favorite US sports team is Rutgers football. Four selected in 2026 CFL draft - Djabome, Elad, Wesley Bailey, Konga.

I was just thinking something that would be so wrong...but maybe a little funny...So far- Mexico has played in Mexico City and Estadio Guadalajara. But if they get out of this round- they come into the U.S.

And my dumb *** mind started picturing crazed Mexican fans filling a stadium and when they pan out over the crowds later in the match- they are somehow almost empty. lol

You're horned up posting AI slop and its not even noon? hahaha take it ease
I mean there are insanely hot women at every one of these matches. International soccer, hands-down, has by far the largest quantity and quality of women. You should have seen the Ecuadorian women walking around Hoboken earlier today and all the insanely hot women out at the bars in Hoboken and Jersey City for almost every single match.
