Between NYCFC and Costa Rica, Alonso MartΓ­nez is a CONCACAF superstar in the making, if he isn’t one already. And he’s likely going to be the difference in this series.

Your CPL Playoff update: AtlΓ©tico Ottawa will host the Final, in search of their first CPL championship. We’ll get a rematch of last year’s Final for the right to challenge them.

This game was nuts!

- Philly strongly up 2-0 late
- Former Union CB Jack Elliott scored a banger of an equalizer after getting a crucial header on Chicago’s first goal
- Oregel red card, pushing and shoving continues into the shootout
- Philly manages to survive

Orlando’s garbage-time consolation goal notwithstanding, this was a complete ass kicking by the Fire. Greggg and the boys have the vibes off the charts in Chicago.

The underdog stories are fading in Group C, but we are setting up for a Nov. 18 meeting between Costa Rica and Honduras in San Jose that could be winner-take-all for direct World Cup qualification.

Costa Rica and Honduras decided to have a rock fight instead of playing a soccer match, which means Haiti is top of the group!

Les Grenadiers have a chance to qualify for their first World Cup since 1974.

3 draws from 3 matches for the Ticos is crazy, also

Last year’s winner, the Northern Colorado Hailstorm, were kicked out of the USL at the end of the season for their owner’s legal troubles, so safe to say Hartford Athletic are also the greatest team in the history of the USL Jagermeister Cup.

Bit of a rock fight in the second half (see: tournament’s leading scorer getting 2 shithousery yellows in stoppage time) but Nashville will be happy with the hardware.

NSC will return to CONCACAF Champions Cup after a round of 16 appearance in 2024.

Are we getting grouped at the World Cup because we lost to South Korea? Are we winning the whole thing because we beat Japan? Should we play a 3-man back line in perpetuity? Is Alex Zendejas winning the Golden Boot next summer?

Gonna be a fun pod this week!
