Its a bummer. Im not a huge year-round soccer guy, but love the World Cup Tournament. It wont be the same without the US participating

As a big fan of the USMNT, it's kind of like, for a Bills fan, if the Bills bombed out so bad, they were not even allowed to play in the NFL next year. So, of course you knew they weren't going to win the superbowl,...you knew they probably would miss the playoffs yet again, but you still wanted to at least get to watch them play some games. But nope.

 

:bag:

 

Oh, well... :beer:

It's funny how sarcastically so many of you are talking about people not caring about a team on a Buffalo Bills forum....

 

You keep this attitude up, mister, and I'm gonna touch the ball with my hands.

If that. CONCACAF is a joke compared to UEFA.

 

They politically correctly set aside multiple spots at the World Cup for regions that don't deserve more than 1 team (if even that) so CONCACAF gets spots it clearly doesn't deserve by world ranking.

 

Losing to Trinidad & Tobago is like losing to Faroe Islands or Vatican City.

It's not all that black and white. From top to bottom, obviously uefa tops concacaf. But in the last WC, Mexico, USA and Costa Rica all made it to the knockout rounds. Costa Rica won their group (over Italy, England and Uruguay) and very nearly made it to the semis.

 

I think Mexico and CR could do well next summer too. Honduras and (maybe) Panama, not so much.

I have no idea how Mexico and CR could do against the rest of the world.

 

I only watch European league and Champions League and the UEFA/South American qualifying rounds as a habit.

 

But if you have corralled all that PLUS Mexico and CR for ranking with some kind of credibility, hats off to you as a fan....
