***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

If the US is ever going to make a run at the Cup, this is the year. Not only did we win our group in 2 games, but we have probably the most ideal path to the quarters, if not the semis, and we don't leave the West Coast until then. It's as favorable of a draw as we're ever going to get.

Position on the field? No, it means very little when two ****** teams are playing. Both Paraguay and Turkey are ****** teams. Overall, Turkey is probably better, but an early 1-0 score in favor of the slightly less crappy team makes up for the difference.

Turkey suffered the curse of the frosted tips. Never get frosted tips.

I’m not mad Man. For real. I’d hate for someone to judge the sport off of a game like that though. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. It’s all good. I’m only saying that particular matchup/game isn’t what I’d cue up for someone who is on the fence.

Some people are going to hate this, but next Thursday if I were making the decisions I’m absolutely not playing Pulisic and I’m at least considering sitting anyone that has a yellow card. The Türkiye game means absolutely nothing outside of pride at this point.

Even Shai Gilgeous-Alexander thinks Paraguay flops too much
