The five best international teams of the 21st century to not win an international tournament

International football is tricky. Teams are bound by strict restrictions on who can play for them and if those players aren’t up to snuff, there’s really nothing you can do. Sometimes a country gets a once in a generation talent, but no other good players to support him. Think Ryan Giggs’ entire Wales career. Other […]

Brazil has no one to blame but themselves for expecting anything different from Dunga

0 comments by

Despite the controversial nature of how Brazil was eliminated from the Copa America Centenario, many Brazilian fans despised the manager, Dunga, for a variety of reasons. The biggest reason, primarily is that Dunga is a defensive minded manager who doesn’t play the “beautiful style” that Brazil and fans are known for. That would be an […]

There wasn’t much going on in the early going of the USMNT third group game against Paraguay. Both teams got some early chances but nothing really too threatening.
