Well my career as manager of the U21 team ends with a record of 0-1. Thank you for the opportunity Coco. Now its time to win the Americas Cup

But we do all of these things in a deterministic way designed to reward teams for their ranking.


So why not make it official and post it in the rules? If I had known about this, maybe I would have tanked a match or two in the first round to make it into the other group. Someone actually pointed out the non-random draw to me a couple of weeks ago but I thought it had to be coincidence.

I still see the system as flawed. No one should have to tank matches to get a better grouping and everyone should know exactly what the rules are.

Precisely.

I'm looking forward to the challenge, though. Apparently finishing 1st in group C is meant to kill your team - Canada gets Brasil and Chile out of the gate in this round. We'll have to wait a few weeks before we play.

What's your take on Brasil? I feel like they haven't been playing their best players. Or maybe they have and I just feel like they should have a better team?
