Yea the standard is higher. My two cousins played in Europe for their universities and play for College of Charleston and York University. Its a lot harder to get into club teams in Europe in North America, you have to start off with a school.

But still, the Canadian squad has some decent players at decent clubs. If only they started. But anyways I'm off to footy practice.

Brazil is way better than Portugal, they seem like they dont play ok, but yesterday we were dominating in th 2-2, I could see us winning, but in 4 minutes they make 2 goals out of nothing. And I tell you, the only team I really really fear in the WC is Brazil.

Yeah pretty hard TBH.

Everyone feared Brazil back then, but now they're just one of many good teams.

Oh haha yea I see what you mean. Back then Brazil was invincible.

Thats kinda like USA

Oh haha yea I see what you mean. Back then Brazil was invincible.

Thats kinda like USA. Everyone in CONCACAF would suck their cock and let them finish first every year and win the Gold Cup. Mexico, Honduras, Rica and El Salvador give them a run for their money now.

I won't be surprised if a concacaf team takes Argentina to a penalty shoot out if they make the playoff.

Can someone correct me if Im wrong? I used to think Mexico was the best one in the CONCACAF until USA started to get better. Some comments here make me doubtful.

They have similar levels, for some years now both teams are almost invincible in their home, but in a neutral field USA has won. The reality is that in those games Mexico has more ball possession and dominates the game, but with one counterattack from USA and it's over for Mexico.

I think Mexico is a better team, but the way USA plays it's very complicated for Mexico. In other words, USA knows very well how to play against them. However, I think this is slowly changing, with Hugo Sanchez we tied 2-2 in USA and won Gold Cup 5-0 also in the US (granted, a B team against a C team but the defensive style was the same).

Well, Mexico has always been el "Gigante de Concacaf"

A lot of people would say that the US is, but the US hasn't win anything yet. We at least have a Confederaciones.

The US is growing, no doubt about it. Since 1994 they started this plan (I don't remember the name) so they could be world champions in.... 2018 I believe. I don't think they will do it (but who knows) but still, the way they grew is incredible. 10 years ago US was nothing.... they just lost the final in confederaciones vs Brazil. They beat Spain. They're exporting players to Europe. And the MLS is growing every year.

The plan is giving them lots of rewards. I don't know who is the best one in CONCACAF. Mexico has never lost in the Azteca Stadium vs US. We just broke a 10-or so streak of not winning in the US. Right now Mexico and the US are about the same, but still... the #1 Rival to beat in CONCACAF is still Mexico. You can see it every single week in the eliminations.

Oh, I think this is the comment pastro243 is referring. I don't know why you're saying this, for many years Mexico has been "El Gigante de la Concacaf", the best team of Concacaf. Not only that, Mexico has 5 Gold Cups, one more than the USA. It's USA the one giving Mexico a run for their money now, not the other way around.

if you right off brasil for the world cup you must be mad......they can beat anybody on a bad,bad,bad day......

we do not know the groups yet so some teams might be in very difficult groups what with two europeans,a south american and a pumped up african team in the group it could be very tough to get out of......but

it will most likely be the regular quarter finalists as in brasil,italy,germany,england,holland,argentina...with spain and whoever is on a good run.....
