Concacaf won’t even begin qualifiers until next spring; it’s going to be interesting to see if there will be any change to the format (as rumored).

Watched Canada vs. US tonight. The USMNT is still a team that's less than the sum of their parts; I've seen many of these guys play much better individually. It's difficult to believe they're the 21st ranked international team because they look so unpolished.
