      The biggest problem with the Nations League & Gold cups, is that it all favours the Americans, big time!
      Over 95% of their matches are played at home. Canada probably plays less than 15% at home.
      The Copa Americas matches were all played in the U.S. this year & the playoffs in the 2026 World cup will be played there too.
      When ranking teams, nobody talks about that huge advantage. The Americans do not play well on the road.
      Just look at the 2022 CONCACAF Qualifiers for the World cup, where teams played each other team home & away. Canada finished #1. The U.S. tied Costa Rica for 4th place in points.
      Look at what just happened in these quarter finals in the Nations League cup in the past week. The 4 favourite teams (Canada, USA, Mexico & Panama) all played much better at home than they did on the road & but still, the semifinals & finals will be played in the USA. Canada has the best record in the semifinals & overall this year, so the semifinals should be played in Canada… FIFA & CONCACAF are only driven by greed & Money.

      Then, there should really be some kind of a handicap for rankings, for teams playing on the road in all CONCACAF tournaments, because rankings matter, as FIFA rankings help determine how difficult a group that countries will finally end up in, for the 2026 World cup.
      Canada ended up in the 'Group of Death' in the 2022 World cup, partially because of their poor ranking, despite having finished #1 in the Qualifiers…

      At least pay OneSoccer for broadcasting!!! They took the risk, right? Both TSN and Sportsnet appear to be anti football (the real football) except for major tournaments. Maybe it’s time to ante up.
