The hardest group might be group F. I said Germany and Mexico but South Korea and Sweden are not easy. Group D is also not easy since Iceland and Nigeria can be tricky.

I think F is the hardest and also D (ours) is tricky as you saids

If africans have a good day they can be very dangerous

Across the Pond, MLS expansion candidates


https://www.si.com/soccer/2017/11/29...innati-detroit
Representatives from those four markets have been invited to New York City to make their cases to the league’s expansion committee on Dec. 6, three days before the MLS Cup final. That committee—which is chaired by New England Revolution owner Jonathan Kraft and also includes Bill McGuire (Minnesota United), Andrew Hauptman (Chicago Fire), Cliff Illig (Sporting Kansas City), Joe Roth (Seattle Sounders) and Jay Sugarman (Philadelphia Union)—then will report and make recommendations to the remaining owners. The full board is scheduled to meet in NYC on Dec. 14, with a final decision anticipated shortly thereafter.

3. FC CINCINNATI

The Nati are a genuine phenomenon—major league in almost every capacity save the club’s official designation. Launched two years ago, FCC captured local and national attention with record-setting crowds—it averaged 21,200 fans during the 2017 USL season—and this year’s gripping run to the U.S. Open Cup semis. It has wealthy local ownership in Carl Lindner III, and a couple weeks ago, it announced a decade-long MLS jersey sponsorship worth around $5 million per year. That's an MLS number.

New Stadium financing in place.


MLS is crazy not to give one of the two bids to Cincy.

I know several individuals getting tickets to Moscow. They invited me but it's quite an investment and I don't follow football.

I do have a British jersey (Chelsea) and FC Bayern.

GEROMEL VAI COMER CU DE ESPANHOL

He is a very nice footballer, I hope he can play next WC, he is way better than current defensors.

Luan is a shit. He fucked up Grêmio today. Geromel did a nice match, Kannemann as well. Same with Grohe. Sad for Arthur, after Geromel he is the best footballer from Grêmio and he didnt play this Cup.

Modric is a MONSTER! A MONSTER! Croatia will go far in this WC

Also, not demeaning Grêmio, but this Libertadores was a joke. I was waiting a lot from Lanus, but they suffered an extremely ridiculous goal that only an amateur team would suffer.


Zamora, Iquique, Guarany, Godoy Cruz, Botafogo, Barcelona (Ecuador), Lanus... Then Pachuca. Real Madrid was the only big club on its way and what happens? Gremiover.

Gremio seemed a mediocre team today. The game was for a 4-0 for Real Madrid. Not a single shot of Gremio in the 90 minutes!
