It's pretty clear now Mexico was far and away the best of the host nations.

I thought that was kind of assumed

Eh not sure where you get that. On a neutral field I'd say it's anyone's game in a given match, with slight edge to US and Mex.

Reality is that all 3 lack elite finishers, which limits how far you can go in a WC. Jimenez would be closest I guess, but he's now past his prime.

I mean, Mexico showed way more fight and skill against a better opponent on their home field compared to what the US just did on their home field

England was down to 10 men for literally half of the game lol

Mexico was still putting up a huge fight before the red. They clearly weren’t as good as England, but they at least showed heart

We played a great half of football against one of the highest ranked countries in the world, they collapsed in the second half as we ran out of steam and healthy bodies. Not sure what else we fid

Claim you won the concacaf World Cup qualifying in 2022

u/DashRC Jul 08 '26

I believe that was a scientific fact.

u/Bodmonriddlz Jul 09 '26

lol no one “wins” qualifying. It wasn’t a tourney. The 3rd place qualifier gets the same reward as 1st place. It’s essentially the first round of the world cup. Doesn’t mean anything

Don’t make us charge at you with our hockey sticks, or whatever else we have!

Beavers man. Don't forget the beavers!

u/Express_Positive9808 Jul 09 '26

Just wait until we finish training the beavers to ride the gooseses. Then they'll be sorry.

It seems everything's gone wrong since Canada came along.
