If these are supposed to be politically neutral events, I'm not sure on what basis you would exclude them from consideration.
FIFA World Cup - Qatar 2022
- Thread starter MineroFanatico
- Start date
I would exclude Saudi’s joint bid due to it being another WC and the congestion with schedules in Europe and South America to an extent
Just based on human rights alone. Just my opinion though.
Well, I don't think they can be excluded from consideration based merely on axingfools1's opinion.
True, but I'm pretty sure Qatar was selected based on payoffs.
He had a great start, but then faded off into the sunset. Hopefully he can pick up the pace and be a big part of the next 3 1/2 years. Too bad he will miss the experience in Qatar.
He’s a good finisher but hasn’t created scoring opportunities for himself or others on the usmnt.
I was pulling for the EP connection though.
If his stats are similar to what they were last season I think he would be under greater consideration regardless of which team he plays for.
I think he moved to Europe a year or two early.
I don’t know. He may have made the move prematurely. However, I think him not making the squad has less to do with who he is playing his club ball for and more to do with how little he showed during his time with the USMNT. Granted, his first couple/few games, he produced a few goals and an assist or two. Since then he has been far from stellar. He doesn’t seem to be able to create scoring opps for himself or others. Add to that, the US has had trouble getting him the ball in front of the net so his opportunities to do what he does best, finish, have also diminished to near none. Just my .02 worth.
Why not just wear a patch or something else. U.S.A. colors are red, white and blue.
Exactly
I’m the premier league it’s laces, captains armband etc. not a full crest redo
I thought red, white and blue represented ALL. When did our national teams decide to represent a few?
Why not have the World Cup in a country where it's not illegal to be lgbtq?
