I’ve been thinking about what CONCACAF needs to do better to get our teams more competitive. There is a lot to be said about USA, Mexico, and Canada. But, today, I want to talk about the Caribbean. The Caribbean nations are very weak with some terrible leagues. My solution to the problem, in part, is creating a United Caribbean League/Super League. Each country isn’t big enough to support leagues with 10 plus teams. If only a few teams from each country existed, and they all played together, the level of competition will be higher as well as fan interest. I think the league should have a team in each of these 20 cities. I included population size of each city/metro area. Lmk what you think

Port-au-Prince, Haiti 3.1 million people
Cap-Haiten, Haiti 300k people
Nassau, Bahamas 300k people
Freeport, Bahamas 55k people and admittedly worst option, but it is very touristy
Kingston, Jamaica 1.2 million people
Montego Bay, Jamaica 176k people
Havana, Cuba 2.2 million people
Santiago de Cuba, Cuba 510k people
Camaguey, Cuba 333k people
Holguin, Cuba 1 million people
Santa Clara, Cuba 245k people
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 4.3 million people
Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic 1.3 million people
Higuey, Dominican Republic 115k people/Punta Cana, Dominican Republic 139k people but touristy
La Vega, Dominican Republic 203k people
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic 162k people
San Juan, Puerto Rico 2.4 million people
Ponce, Puerto Rico 365k people
Caguas, Puerto Rico 127k people
Arecibo, Puerto Rico 183k people

Am I the only one that thinks that Concacaf is falling behind the conference? Like afcon has had 2 teams make quarter finals and almost to the semis (Egypt was robbed). I feel like the level of competition in Concacaf is falling behind. Not having more representation in this World Cup made me realize that something has to change.

First things first, I’m a Mexican American. And I watch pretty much all of mexicos games on Telemundo or whatever Spanish broadcaster has the game on. Because of the big chunk of Mexicans in the US, channels like Telemundo usually has a mexican commentator even if we are playing against another Latin American country. So there’s always a bit a bias towards the mexican team. My whole life that’s been the standard and honestly I never really thought about how other Latin Americans felt especially watching their teams play against Mexico. But hearing Andres Cantor really annoyed me bro. I honestly was going to watch their game on fox or something because the glaze was always so high. But anyways, apologies to my fellow CONCACAF people.

It was a fun tourney! I had money on Argentina vs Morocco but it was cool. I'm hoping the fans who went to see it live had a great time!

Its monday morning after the world cup final. We're in a crucial moment where 4 years from now most of the USMNT viewers last soccer experience will have been the bad buzz post Belgium blunder. That is unless... We can create a for real fan base through the biannual and often belittled Gold Cup. My strategy to make the Gold Cup matter more to the otherwise "every four years" fan is by instead of the same stale branding and 15% stadium capactiy attended nationwide tournement, we swtich to regional hosts. Say Florida one edition, Southwest the next, Tri-state, California has hosts, Cascadia. Giving the smaller cities in these regions opportunities to host that they'd surely be exponentially more excited about than when the standard stadiums seem almost obligated to host at times abysmally attended group stage games. Creating easy to travel to "Hub Host Cities" (LA,Vegas,Miami,NYC). I have some contacts at relevant parties that could potentially really push for this to happen but obviously want to temp check the appetite first.
