    Ibarra gets a redemption chance after moving to Mexico and doing f* all. Be interesting to see if he's as good as he was thought to be or if he was just a Klinsmann NASL Pandering Stunt.
    i honestly cannot believe he went to Mexico and has done nothing...

      It happens, player makes a move and before too long the manager is fired and that player is stuck at a club with a manager who doesn't want him.

      Probably should've gone to MLS but I can understand not wanting to play for Portland.

              I looked at Deadspin, saw the article, saw Haisley wrote it and immediately moved on to a different site.

                I'm thinking ownership was looking for a miracle to avoid relegation and that's why they hired him. They're gonna have to keep looking for that miracle.

                    That article by Magary is somewhat funny. It's Haisley and his vehement anti-MLS stance that's *ing annoying.

                    Case in point: MLS Cup. Deadspin did not write an article or mention about it (and it was played on a night with no football or any meaningful NHL/NBA games) yet Haisley can write a piece showing some goal Messi scored in a random Spanish Cup game.

                    I like Deadspin, but their soccer coverage can go die in a fire.

                          That pretty much will have to end the hexagonal, too, right? Even if CONCACAF only garners one extra slot from the expansion, that'd give us 4.5. Would be silly to have a qualifying round where all but one team advances.

                            Groups of 3 is just plain awful...guaranteed 2 games and all those off days? So the last day of group play 2 of the 3 teams play and know exactly what they need for both to advance...great idea FIFA. Expansion is somewhat inevitable but this was the wrong choice.

                            Should have just done 12 groups of 4, top 8 group winners get a bye and remaining 4 group winners and 12 runner ups play in a first round to get to the round of 16...

                            Still keeps even numbered groups, gives some benefit for group winners to play to the end, etc.

                              As for expansion, I don't see how this tournament expands by 16 teams and CONCACAF doesn't get less than 6.

                              Here is my guess
                              Host 1-2
                              UEFA 13-17

                              CONMEBOL 4.5-7
                              CONCACAF 3.5-6
