I'm sure I'll get excited about this in a few days.
If you think about it, all men's world cups are eventually world cups without the US. It's just happening a couple weeks earlier than usual this time.


No, that doesn't help. Never mind.

I always root for the other CONCACAF teams and Japan. This year I'm also rooting for Argentina and Spain.

Togo didn't make it, but Ghana did, so I guess I'll cheer for them.

But it isn't like I am going to watch or anything

John Strong is a local boy who sat in the Timbers Army until he started calling games for the USL Timbers then graduated with the club to MLS before moving on to national stuff. Pretty awesome to see him on this stage. He calls a great game.

Love John Strong. He strikes a great balance of building excitement without screaming Gus Johnson style about every shot that misses by 10 feet. Having seen all 4 Fox crews now, none of them seem particularly bad which is nice.
