Qatar get Messi Vs Mbappe. They couldn’t have scripted it better for their sports washing endeavor.
What has anyone learned about Qatar through this world cup that hasn't just reinforced pre-existing stereotypes? Qatar is exactly what everyone thought it was and few will ever think of it again.

3 minutes ago, Ted Lange said:Its some Podcaster "suggesting" it, not some stone cold fact. I'd bet anything if there is a cap, its because USSF is cheap.
No question but it is a very convenience justification for keeping greggg or hiring some MLS coach. "We can't afford the names everyone wants"

Gregg makes less than $1.5 million while LVG makes almost $3 million for the Netherlands. Jesse Marsch makes more than $3.5 million for Leeds while the big club managers make over $10 million.

The USMNT podcasters are suggesting that the USMNT coach budget is limited to $2 million annually because of institutional fixation on equal resource usage for the USMNT and the USWNT. If true, this caps our candidate pool at the likes of Roberto Martinez.

Just now, tokamak said:There's not serious discussion happening about keeping Berhalter, is there? Even before the Gio stuff blew up, I mean. I thought one WC cycle was pretty much the standard in international soccer, unless the team just massively overachieves or the coach is a legend or something.
We looked unimpressive throughout qualifying and warm-up friendlies, squeaked through an average group, and got stomped in the round of 16. That's pretty much the baseline or a small underachievement if you ask me. That same result in 2026 would be downright disappointing. Even setting aside anything with Gio, roster management, subs, tactics, etc - what possible reason would there be for keeping him on?
From what I can tell, only from Berhalter's agent, his supporters in the media and those regurgitating what they are hearing from Berhalter's agent and supporters in the media.

He recited the story at some leadership conference. He knew exactly what he was doing

Why the fuck would gregg hold a vote including low level staffers? You are the manager. Manage. "But how does the masseuse feel about Gio's attitude?"
Gio clearly has an attitude issue. Anyone who has watched him closely at Dortmund knows that his effort level directly corresponds to his form. If he is off, he is among the laziest players I have ever seen at that level. It can be shocking. I imagine that Greggg told Gio early in camp that he wasn't starting and Gio basically shut it down from there. It's ultimately on Gio for being an insufferable brat but the situation also indicts Greggg's man-management skills.
Greggg's "leaking" of the story is ridiculous. Steve Sampson didn't confirm for years why John Harkes was dropped from the 98 squad although doing so would have spared him a ton of criticism. Ironically, greggg's attempts at deflecting the heat for not playing Gio may ultimately cost him the job because bringing Gio back on board for 2026 is far more important than retaining a shitty manager whose brother used to run the USSF. The hilarious element of the story how satisfied greggg clearly is with respect to his handling of the situation.

Great use of resources. Imagine celebrating the exchange of a Bond villain for a WNBA player.

538's model actually has England as a very slight favorite over France (52-48) and the SF b/w Portugal and France/England as a toss-up. They have Brazil as a strong favorite to emerge from the other side and win it all.
I'm not sure why the Dutch aren't getting more respect.

uh yeah ok, what is this -- Q stuff? The only thing you got right is that churches (and not just some of them) are filled with abusers. Some are true pedos, others are just twisted opportunists who exploit whomever comes their way.
