Texas Health Mansfield Stadium will host the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF W Championship

Houston's Shell Energy Stadium will host the semi-finals and final.

International WoSo Friendly

Brazil 1-0 Canada

And that's that for the international window. Back to the NWSL grind on Friday.

Final CONCACAF WWC Qualifying Tournament matches will be seeded by FIFA ranking, from what update, I don’t know.

At current, that would give us:

[2] USA vs [78] El Salvador
[41] Jamaica vs [42] Costa Rica

[9] Canada vs [56] Panama
[27] Mexico vs [49] Haiti

The top three non-USA finishers in the final CONCACAF WWC Qualifying tournament also will qualify for the 2028 Olympics.

How CONCACAF gets four of sixteen teams is truly something.

And, yes, the USA and Canada can qualify for the 2027 WWC by winning just one match.

Because, see above comment about world's worst soccer confederation.

The CONCACAF final WWC Qualifying tournament will allegedly by in November, somewhere, as nothing has been scheduled from the world's worst soccer confederation.

Quarterfinal winners all advance to the WWC, QF losers go to a repechage match to determine intercontinental playoff winners.

USA U19s defeat Argentina's U20s, 3-1, today.

And for the curious, Fort Lauderdale is 8th of 9 teams in USL and had just over 1,700 people at their last home match. So, 🤷‍♂️

Allie Long (yes, THAT Allie Long) has signed with Fort Lauderdale of the USL Super League.

Article pretty much mentions that even with a yes vote, a move could be years away, so I think waiting to see how it goes for MLS would be part of the plan.

Sources: NWSL expected to vote on calendar shift this month The NWSL's Board of Governors is expected to vote later this month on whether to flip the league's calendar to a fall-to-spring season, multiple sources told ESPN.
