Brian McBride reflects on the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup and examines the tournament’s impact on the U.S. and Mexico.

ESPN’s Taylor Twellman explains where things went wrong for the USMNT in their 1-0 defeat to Mexico in the 2019 Gold Cup final.
The United States and Mexico are almost certain to go straight to the six-team Hexagonal round of qualifying for Qatar 2022, with CONCACAF announcing new rules for the next World Cup.
The top six-ranked teams in the FIFA rankings after the June 2020 international window will automatically be included in the home-and-away Hexagonal. The top three will qualify for Qatar 2022.
Gold Cup winner Mexico is currently a long way ahead of those outside the top six, meaning it’s virtually inconceivable that…

Anthony Lozano got one back for Honduras nine minutes into the second period but Damion Lowe, with a powerful header from a corner, restored Jamaica’s two-goal cushion two minutes later.

Ramon Maradiaga has been banned for two years for his role in a match-fixing probe.
FIFA has banned a former El Salvador coach for two years for his role in offering players money to perform well in a World Cup qualifying game, thereby helping his native Honduras.
The ethics committee found Ramon Maradiaga guilty of bribery and corruption and failing to report the plot.
According to the findings, El Salvador’s players were offered cash by a third party if they managed to win — or at least avoid losing by more than two goals — in a qualifier against Canada because a three-goal…

Herculez Gomez does not feel Houston Dynamo have enough firepower to overcome their first leg deficit to Seattle.

Reigning champions Seattle Sounders have one foot in MLS Cup after putting two away goals past Houston.

The total flying time from Sydney to Houston is a little more than 19 hours, giving travelers ample time to spend with their thoughts.

Following Honduras’ 3-0 defeat at Australia on Nov. 15 in their intercontinental playoff for a berth in the 2018 World Cup, it was undoubtedly a long, pensive flight for the Houston Dynamo’s Honduran trio of Alberth Elis, Romell Quioto and Boniek Garcia. The three had to quickly shake off the deflating feeling of not going to Russia next summer and turn their attention…

ESPN FC’s Herculez Gomez explains why he was an outlier coming up in a flawed system where many talented U.S. prospects fall through the cracks. CONCACAF is launching a new national team competition to begin play in September of 2018 that will include the United States and Mexico.
The new CONCACAF League of Nations, which will be played on FIFA fixture dates in place of many friendlies, will feature all 41 member associations in North and Central America and the Caribbean. The exact format and schedule will be announced early next year.
It will be divided into three divisions based on “sporting level” with promotion and relegation between…

Mile Jedinak’s second-half hat-trick booked Australia’s place in Russia at the expense of Honduras.
SYDNEY — Australia booked their place at the 2018 World Cup after a convincing 3-1 win over Honduras in Sydney on Wednesday night. Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak was the hero for the hosts, scoring all three goals for Australia, including two from the penalty spot.
Here are three thoughts from the match.
1. First half bore, second half score
Is that harsh on the first 45 minutes? Perhaps Australia’s endeavour was on show for a few moments in the first half, with golden chances for Mathew Leckie…
