YOUNG AMERICANS
The USMNT was by far the youngest team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, garnering valuable experience going through the rigors of World Cup qualifying. Through 14 qualifiers, the USA Starting XI came in at an average of 23.82, almost two years younger than the next closest team, Ghana at 25.67. Together, the other 31 participating teams averaged a Starting XI age of 27.5 through qualifying, nearly four full years older than the U.S. Sources say this is one of the youngest, but most talented teams the U.S. has ever fielded. While they may not win the world cup this year, they may garner the experience needed to make a serious run on home soil in the year 2026 when the World Cup comes back to North America.

A freaking awesome showing of a great soccer city.
This is just down my street, last two games it's been; just park the car the day before and forget about travelling for the duration.
Not as big as KCP&L, but still about 1500 or so. . . All put on by a rinky-dink single neighborhood bar [like if something similar were held at Joe's KC]. Last WC they were listed in USA Today as one of five best places to catch the game in USA.

Don't worry, if we make it to the round of 16 and Adams gets another yellow, he will miss quarters - But it's not a dumb rule according to Penguinz. [Reply]

Again, your ignorance to the nuances of the game mean nothing. [Reply]
