So far FIFA were considering the change but Mexico weren’t happy with that. Apparently the FA weren’t either so talks are still ongoing but they’re sticking with the same time for now, but the forecast for the exact time is looking dire.

This is the benefit of having home field advantage. In the US, some NFL football teams design their stadiums specifically around the average temperatures during the season. Like the Miami Dolphins having a non-dome arena so opposing teams are cooked in the early fall months, or Buffalo and Green Bay having brutal winter games. FIFA would never turn down a Mexico City stadium in a Mexico hosting world cup, and Mexico is smart to maximize their home field advantage as legally as they can. The teams were put into randomized lots, this is the luck of the draw. To switch venues and fuck over the people in Mexico City is a step too far even for FIFA.

Do it Canada. It would be amazing.

I’m rooting for you

Hope he has a stand out game for us.

I mean if you want to eliminate any form of home field advantage, host the the World Cup in China every 4 years and not let China field a team.

You can have it in Israel I guarantee we never qualify

Idk, if a middling, shitty team like Italy could almost beat Bosnia in the qualifiers, so could Israel.

Maybe if there are 64 teams next time. or 128. That might be enough

I am surprised Israel hasn't developed a serious shooting and/or archery program for the Olympics.

We had very few Russian shooting guys in Olympics finals in the past, not anymore

Archery has seen vast improvements and nice achievements in the past few years and that could lead to something in the near future

But the whole state athlete support here is non existent

I forgot artistic gymnastics we're very good in that as well thanks against to Russia

I think that changes in a generation.

Only 2 players in the entire French squad were born in Africa and they moved to France as children.

I’m not sure why he isn’t playing. Even a 60% fit Alphonso will still be dangerous against them.

Canada are the best team so far

I don't really care just funny statement

It's not like most of the Swiss or German teams are white and blond

Right...

Bad first half

 

[JawboneOfAnAss]

Right...

I am guessing that France is going through something similar the US went through in pigskin football 10 years ago where players were getting pigeonholed into positions by coaches based off 'measurables'.
