Donald and Eric are back with a new CONCACAF LASER FOCUS, this time heading to South America(?) to chat about Guyana. Not French Guiana, the former British one.

This week we conclude the third edition of the Concacaf Nations League with the Finals in Texas, so the guys chat about the matchups and our excitement for the greatest competition in team athletics. After talking through USMNT, Jamaica, Panama and El Tri, we preview the Copa America playoff matchups for the final two spots in this summer's tournament. Oh, and WORLD CUP QUALIFYING starts this weekend, so we show some love to the Virgin Islands derby and our beloved Anguilla. So much Concacaf action ahead.

Another CONCACAF LASER FOCUS for the pod, as the group takes a look at the island nation of Saint Lucia. After sharing some fun facts involving iguanas, we look at soccer on the island and a bit about Stern John's Piton Boyz in advance of their redemption campaign in World Cup Qualifying. Finally, on REAL TEAM OR FAKE TEAM (19:56), Jonathan makes an admirable run as we've got teams that end in "s" and "z" here.

The group gets together to talk through the big reveal of the match schedule of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The USMNT, El Tri and CanMNT have their dates and locations, but even without opponents or kickoff times, there's plenty to discuss over two years before the World Cup comes to Concacaf. No, we don't have any ticket information either.
On this episode, we answer your questions and talk Concacaf! Topics include what Concacaf Champions Cup underdogs could make a run (2:12), whether it's worth reviving the Caribbean Cup (9:20), the best of USMNT's "Camp Cupcake" (16:23) and whether CAF should get an invite to Concacaf's nonsense (25:10).
