American greed started this entire thing, on a sport that is like 5th in the pecking league of our own country.

Chelsea pulling out. Bayern and PSG have said no.

Man City and Man U might not be far behind.

This thing won't happen. Seems like Spain and Italy are the only countries where this will be a prevalent thing.

[NewtonHawk11]

City also pulling out according to multiple sources on twitter.

[Cascadia]

This is going to happen, just might be delayed a few years.

[NewtonHawk11]

Atletico Madrid also out.

You're right. Will probably happen down the road, but I bet it will be in conjunction with the other leagues, competitions and all that.

They did this out of the blue, which pissed a lot of people off, but I think it'll be fine once cooler heads prevail.

And I think this was deliberate

No matter if you want this or not, they really bumbled the rollout.



Atletico and Barca out. This thing is dead (for now).

[Cascadia]

This is basically a warning shot telling everyone this is happening Summer 2023

I don't know care to know a whole lot about Europe, but I would guess that politics and regulations will become part of the equation.

Seeing the collapse of this is pretty satisfying after I looked more into the reasons for it and why the fans didn’t want it.

Upcoming games for USA.
Friendly Sunday May 30th at 2 PM ET on ESPN @ Switzerland.
CONCACAF nations ( i mean, wut? ) Thursday June 3rd at 7:30 ET v Honduras.

Missed the first 25 mins and two goals because of fucking women's softball.

[pdub]

Unfortunate for Dest.
Lucky for the US.

[pdub]

US pressure and work up top promising.

Defense looks sketch.

"Defense looks sketch"

Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful.

[pdub]

Not what you wanna see if you're Berhalter. We shoulda lost 3 or 4 to 1.

[NewtonHawk11]

Their defense really struggled in transition. Lots of open spaces.

[pdub]

They had a ton of early pressure on the Swiss back line to make em make mistakes. Worked well enough in first half. They adjusted in the second and we broke down a lot on marking.

Was not a good game.

[NewtonHawk11]

It was fine. Swiss are good. With their full roster, it’s likely a 2-2 draw.

[pdub]

Swiss had one or two of their top guys out.
They are a good team though and despite no fans, it was an away game.
