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.

City also pulling out according to multiple sources on twitter.

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

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).

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.

Unfortunate for Dest.
Lucky for the US.

US pressure and work up top promising.

Defense looks sketch.

"Defense looks sketch"

Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful.

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

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

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.

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

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.
