Should absolutely use climates/regions to their advantage
Play African teams in Alaska
Play scandivanian teams in Arizona
Utilize denvers altitude
Etc

Last I checked, Scandinavian and African teams weren't CONCACAF members though.

Playoff time

Croatia vs Greece is going to be interesting. A team that's full of talent, but is soulless and gives underwhelming performances, vs a mediocre team that usually knows their shit and performs better than expected.

Can't predict who will go through... Croatia has the better team on paper and should make it to the WC if they perform at their potential, but that doesn't happen very often and Greece manages to compete well almost always. It could really go either way.

Come on you Irish

2:0

The fuck ref? How the fuck is that a pen lad?

4:1

gz! Well deserved win. Great game from your boys and horrible game from the greeks. This result should be more than enough to earn Croatia a ticket to Russia, that save at the end was really important.

ye i didnt think greece would be that bad but i can live with that
usually those 3 more goals should be enough but ofc no reason to not make a good game in greece
