Wales beats Ukraine in the final European qualifier, in a game nobody outside of Wales, or I guess Russia, was rooting for them in.  They join the USA's group.  I know the FIFA rankings have issues, but it means all 4 teams in the USA's group were top 21 in the FIFA rankings as of the draw.  No other group has more than 2 ranked that high.

These Nations Leagues are dumb.  I wish they replaced them with zone free qualification tournaments for the World Cup.  Make it a 4 year window thing, with the actual World Cup actually being just the finals.  Keep your continental champions, your Euros, your Gold cups, etc., but get rid of friendlies and these stupid Nations Leagues, and replace them all with "World Cup" games

The USA played a better lineup in a friendly, then they did in their their nations league opener tonight, which they still won 5-0.  Replacing friendlies with "meaningful" games doesn't mean anything if those meaningful games are against shjtty CONCACAF nations

Canadian Voyageurs Cup Semifinals

Well Montreal is the only one that would make the MLS playoffs if the season ended today, but they were eliminated by Toronto who is 12th in the East. Vancouver held serve against York, so it will be a Whitecaps-Toronto final in July.

......

US Open Cup Quarterfinals

USL Sacramento Republic advances to the semifinals with a win over the LA Galaxy, along with a de facto state title.

USL1 Omaha conversely got demolished by Sporting KC.

Red Bull NY beat NYC rather convincingly.

The other quarterfinal match between Nashville and Orlando will be wed June 29. The winner gets Red Bull NY in the semifinals in late July.

CONCACAF U20s going on as well, which also serve as an Olympic qualifying event.  The two finalists qualify for Paris 2024, which is a nice chance for the next wave to play on a world stage, and against the elite.  I believe each nation is allowed 3 senior team members.

USA won their group, to advance to the knockout stage.  They did not qualify for the Tokyo games

USA won the event.  After never winning a CONCACAF U20 previously, they've now won the past 3 in a row.  Hopefully that's a referendum on the future of the USMNT

The women play Jamaica tonight, and a win there will clinch their spot in the next World Cup

After acquiring a Cucho Hernandez from England, the Crew have defeated Chicago and Cincinnati and tied DC United over an 8 day stretch to climb back into the playoff picture. He is already only one goal away from being tied for first place on the team in goals scored for 2022.

    US Open Cup: Semifinals

    These games will get played on Wed July 17. The Eastern match is the stronger of the two, Red Bull NY vs Orlando. RBNY is currently in third place in the MLS East, while Orlando is in 5th place.

    The Western match is pretty weak. Kansas City is dead last in the MLS West. Sacramento is in 7th place in the USL West. The USL could win this one, but both teams are playing terribly as of late. 


    Canadian Voyageurs Cup: Final

    The final is on Tue July 26th, with a champions league bid on the line. Montreal is the only Canadian team that would make the MLS playoffs if the season were to end today, but they were eliminated by Toronto in the Canadian semifinals.

    So the MLS Final is Toronto-Vancouver. Toronto is currently 13th out of 14 in the MLS East, while Vancouver sits at 10th in the MLS West. Vancouver is pretty cursed in this Canadian tournament, winning it only once, so this is a golden opportunity for them. So they will probably beef it.


    Concacaf League: Opening Round

    This is the final season of this Champions League qualifier tournament, to be replaced with a purely Central American Tournament going forward, without the Caribbean/Canadian teams tossed in. The first leg of the play-in round will be played Tue July 26 - Thu July 28, with the second leg the following week.

    Bracket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_CONCACAF_League#Bracket


    • Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama are the best situated with three teams each, two of which get an opening round bye.
    • El Salvador and Guatemala also get three teams each, but only one gets an opening round bye.
    • Nicaragua and the DR each get two teams in, one team from each country gets an opening round bye.
    • The lovable Anglophone trio of Canada, Jamaica and Belize each get only one team in, none of which get a first round bye.
    The Canadian team and the Jamaican team will play each other in the opening round, for the battle of funny English accents at polar opposite ends of the spectrum. Tue July 26 for that one. [/list]
