They all look identical. We get it, friendlies don’t mean anything.

England-Algeria-Slovenia was (if you didn’t watch Slovenia and Algeria’s qualifying playoffs, at least) a pretty soft

I mean, England-Algeria-Slovenia was (on paper, at least) a pretty soft group and the USA didn’t make it into the knockout stages until literally the final minute.

That disallowed goal against Slovenia played a large part in that.

Jeld-Wen Field

Or they could go 2 hours South of Portland to Eugene and Nike University. They can fit 54,000 in their football stadium.

Hopefully they can figure that out as the atmospheres would be great

The Mex home game will be at either Columbus or KC. The other 2 like I said above will be big stadium (Seattle- if they figure out the field or Philly, and the other one will be in jacksonville or Nashville)

Portland & Seattle deserve a home game.

Seattle should get one. What does the stadium in Portland hold?

And I’d expect a game in Minnesota after 2016

The pitch sucked also. I dont see them coming back. They’ll have some DC and Boston games potentially too for qualifiying.

it’s all about where you get to get kidnapped for ransom.

What I wouldn’t give for this to happen to Sepp Blatter. Except, he’s never heard from again.

Now that the USA gets better attendance you might see some more of that.

There was a Gold Cup came in Tampa, no?

But top 8 teams get their own groups and then they split 24 other teams into those groups

Top seven teams plus the host. Brazil aren’t currently in the top ten in the FIFA rankings.

I know they played in Nashville a few years ago, but it seems like Northeast and West Coast has a monopoly on any meaningful USA games./blockquote>

I’m sure they base those decisions on MLS attendance (or ratings!)
