CONCACAF (soccer)

What a week for USA/Mexico... Blue lives matter flag in AO smh.

think how much fun the commentators can have when the US make a wall

I am watching over the air en Español bc fuck Trump.

Congratulations to Curacao on their first Caribbean Cup title. They beat the holders, Jamaica, this morning.

They have strikers called Jimbertson Vapor, Jafar Arias, Rangelo Janga, Felitciano Zschusschen and Elson Hooi, which is a wonderful collection of names.

Florent Malouda currently playing in a Gold Cup match despite being ruled ineligible, so French Guiana will forfeit.

The most Concacaf thing ever?

It's goalless at half, but with the ineligible Malouda on the field for #GUF, we know how this movie ends... #GoldCup2017 pic.twitter.com/hRQpCrWAPw

Chuck Blazer dead

Does anyone know the best way to get hold of Mexico vs Trinidad tickets for the Azteca? I'd imagine the away allocation is unlikely to sell out but i'm not sure if you can just roll up on the day.

I'm resisting making a Jack Warner joke…

Truth is I don't know. Friends of mine have gotten away tix for US games at Aztecs but they knew people who work for the federation. That's my only guess, actually, to get in touch with the Trinidad FA. (And resist making Jack Warner jokes.)

Thanks! Would have been easier when Jack was my aunt's MP but still might be something I can do.

Is anyone watching this particular tournament this year?

canada look good!

I only saw the first USA match because my wife and I were gifted tickets, but I just saw that Haiti won all their games and their group, including beating Costa Rica, which is absolutely noteworthy imho.

I was surprised at how many of the Martinique players are home based. They gave Mexico a decent scare.

Excited to see if we can score our first goal since September 2018 tonight.

champions league semifinal tonight between LAFC and Club America was bonkers

Wild, what's the situation that led to this?

Brexit?

this is the great lengths some players will go to - to avoid Jamie + Rebecca Vardy

Puro CONCACAF

Can the story get more CONCACAF? Yes, yes it can.

Canada dos, USA cero

Canada reminds me of the US teams of the 00s

https://www.twitter.com/CanadaSoccerEN/status/1487925951182815233

I know this is a much improved Canada team, but there's something hilariously US about starting to regularly beat Mexico again after years of futility against them only to now not be able to beat Canada anymore

they need to call Dike up again, nuff said

Crazy how Herdman took the women's team to this level and now he's doing it again. Such a positive guy.

this CONCACAF Champions league match between CF Montreal and Santos is embarrassing

Santos played Orlando last year and I was equally unimpressed by them then. yet Kamal Miller is such a shit defender that they managed a goal after all

Montreal meanwhile have a counter attack akin to playing FIFA on Playstation, where they just blast through balls long and hope their dude catches up to it, and he never does, or he's miles offside

This tournament is always disappointing for MLS teams in this phase.

The field for the El Salvador v US match just got a shout-out from the broadcasters as being one of those concacaf things you have to explain to folks who don't follow qualifiers etc here closely

it's a muddy mess btw

These Hot Nations League Nights

A Cinderella story. The Dominican Republic has qualified for the U-20 World Cup after defeating Jamaica 1-0. It is the first FIFA tournament at any level that the Dominican Republic has qualified for. Congratulations to them. The players are overjoyed in their celebration

That Concacaf lyfe

Referee Fernando Hernandez gets a 12 game ban for kneeing a Club Leon player in the junk during a Liga MX game. I’m surprised this hasn’t happened sooner with the amount of ref swarming you get. Not saying what he did was right, but he was driven to this pic.twitter.com/wiJDCKHBvo

refs very much in character
