      ⁠no he really wasn’t. When he got to Ecuador it was a very young team freewheeling. Thus the 4-2, 6-1, 3-2 wins. Alfaro said he did not like allowing those goals and started changing the lineup and formations and most importantly the way they played. The team became very difficult to score on but their scoring also dried up. I’ve only watched the Paraguay game against Ecuador and there was only one team on the field.
      I can explain it further but there is no need. Alfaro fans are loyal.

      I think they've been solid defensively all qualifiers as shown by their least goals conceded record. Their previous coach didn't even try to get the best players on the field or play any attacking football. I didn't expect them to be 3rd and fourth in this ranking but they're hot right now and they have the talent and tactics to keep improving.

      @@jorgeponce4214 what do you define as respect ? Because I think saying Paraguay is 4/5th best team in the Americas is more then a lot respect after only 6 games for them to gain the respect of them being a top 2 team I dont see that coming until the world cup and them making a quarter finals run. For 3rd just 2 more games tbh just to show conistancy. I'm all in Paraguay but 6 games shouldn't make you jump from like 8th 9th in the Americas to 2nd. Everything you guys have done is really impressive and is why they are getting uqll this hype but 2nd is a to much especially when talking about conmebol. Hopefully Paraguay can continue this form would love to see them lift the world cup and elevate conmebol

    • @jrcanuck1
      @jrcanuck1 21 день назад +2

      ​​@@joewalker36 , Canada, for example, also has the vast majority of their starting 11 playing overseas, yet they have won 95% of their home matches. The problem is that they rarely get to play at home because FIFA & CONCACAF are all about the money.
      Playing at home is a huge advantage because the team is staying in a comfortable, familiar & supportive environment, backed by your fans & media in the match.
      The U.S. has the argument that in some southern U.S. locations vs teams such as Mexico, or Argentina & Brazil, that they are often outnumbered by the opposition's fans; but the U.S. players still have the luxury of enjoying all of the advantages that I listed above.
      When they play vs Canada, the U.S. home soil is always a huge advantage.
      This has also been proven over the years by the U.S. struggles on the road versus their success rate at home.

    Proper kudos given to Ecuador, I admit, our offense is terrible, and yes, I admit we call Enner Valencia “World cup”, cause he is only good every 4 years. Our defense has to be the best in the continent, and probably the best in the world, but sometimes, even if it’s a snooze fest, those 1-0 are the ones that win championships.
    Ecuador and Paraguay are the strongest teams in Conmebol at the moment.

    While I agree with most of your list, I cannot see for the life of me, how you have Canada & the U.S. tied (actually Jack has the U.S ahead!). Canada had, by far, the better 2024. Sorry; but you are both biased towards the U.S. & I'm surprised at Jack because you are not usually like that.
    You guys keep talking about the Nations League; but you don't even mention the 2021/2022 Qualifiers, which is a much fairer tournament, as all of the teams played Home & Away & Canada beat both the U.S. & Mexico & ended up #1 & the U.S. tied #4 Costa Rica for points.
    For my money, winning the Qualifiers & making the semifinals at the Copa has much more value & importance than winning the Nations Cup (played at home for the U.S.)
    Yes, constantly playing at.home, is a huge advantage for the U.S. & I too believe that Canada would probably have won if any of them were played in Canada.
    Nobody should bring up the past Gold Cups at all, because the best players in CONCACAF don't usually participate.
    Connor talks about the 'Red card' being the difference at the Copa... Seriously? Does he have some kind of crystal ball to say how the U.S would have done?
    Did the fact that Panama beat the U.S. not play a role?
    Canada dominated the U.S. in their Friendly. Mexico then beat the U.S. 2-0. What is your excuse for that?
    Don't forget that Canada had a 0-0 draw with France before the Copa too.
    The truth is that if Canada & the U.S. swapped 2024 results, you both would have rated the U.S. at least 2 places ahead of Canada on this list & you know it.
    Oh yes, part of Connor's logic is that Pochettino is going to have the U.S. team playing much better in the future. Well, he might & then again, he may not. We won't know, until they play at least a few games under him in 2025; but either way, it should have zero bearing on current power rankings, hopefully based mainly on 2024 performances.
    Connor also always mentions that he looks forward to seeing the U.S. at "full power". If he was talking about injuries, please note that Canada was also missing 4 good players for most of those matches due to injuries.

    • @bmr209
      @bmr209 22 дня назад +1

      Didn't the US dominate Canda in their last competitive game with the A squads? That definitely matters more than a meaningless friendly with an interim coach. Shouldn't Canada actually win something before they're considered the best team in CONCACAF?

    • @jrcanuck1
      @jrcanuck1 21 день назад +1

      @bmr209 , Actually the Friendly in which Canada dominated play vs the U.S. meant a lot to both teams, as the U.S. wanted to prove itself after an embarrassing performance at the Copa Americas. Both teams were using their available 'A' teams because the match was in preparation for the 2024 qualifiers for the Nations League.
      I agree that the U.S. was playing under an interim coach; but they were playing for Pochettino when they lost to Mexico.
      FIFA rankings are impacted by Friendlies, so they do matter.
      Yes, Canada was outplayed in the 2023 Final for the Nations League, that was once again played on U.S. soil. Much like the U.S. in 2024, Canada was in the middle of changing coaches & the players Union had been battling with Management all of 2023 & Canada was fortunate to even make the finals under those circumstances.
      My point was that Canada, especially playing under new coach Jesse Marsch, was by far the better team in 2024, which is the time frame that should carry the most weight in assessing teams for the current 2024 Power Rankings.
      Regarding your statement that Canada hasn't won anything, you obviously chose to ignore my point that Canada's finishing #1 in the 2021/2022 Qualifiers & in the semifinals of the Copa was a bigger achievement, under more important circumstances, than the U.S.' Nation Leagues victories. We will agree to disagree on that topic.

    • @bmr209
      @bmr209 21 день назад

      @@jrcanuck1 I know friendlies matter in terms of FIFA rankings but they don't really tell you much in terms of deciding what team is actually better since coaches try things in friendlies and the US-Canada friendly matters even less since it was an interim coach. You're putting way too much importance on friendlies.
      The US-Mexico means nothing since it was a cash grab where the US only had like 1 or 2 starters in the team.
      The US didn't just outplay Canada in the NL. They dominated that game.
      Canada is a good team and they had great results in 2024 but I think the US still has more talent and they now have a better coach as well so until Canada win a CONCACAF tournament or beats the US in a competitive game with their current player pool and coaching staff, I can't really put Canada ahead. If the US still had Berhalter at the helm, then maybe I would agree with you.
      Canada did well to finish first in WCQ for 2022 but that's also almost 3 years ago now and both teams have different circumstances around them. If Canada comes out and wins the next NL, then you can go ahead and say Canada is the best team in CONCACAF.
      Canada making the semifinals is a great achievement no doubt but are you gonna say that Canada is currently better than Brazil, Ecuador or Paraguay who didn't make the semifinals? Cause all 3 teams are better currently than Canada.

    • @jrcanuck1
      @jrcanuck1 21 день назад +1

      @@bmr209 , You see that is part of my problem, when we have discussions with many U.S. fans, media & podcasters,(although Jack is usually the exception), as you all "think that the U.S. has more talent", but from a Canadian's point of view, that is not the case.
      You keep discounting the results in the Qualifiers for the last World cup. Canada beat both the U.S. & Mexico in head to head matches played in Canada.
      If you say that Canada should not count the 2022 Qualifiers as proof of Canada's accomplishments, then the same can be said for the U.S.' past wins.
      In most sports, the Power rankings are based on the most recent results. Once again, Canada's making it to the semifinals in the Copa & dominating the U.S. in the Friendly is reason enough to declare Canada the best in the current CONCACAF power rankings.
      The major difference from your example in the Copa, is that the U.S. didn't even manage to get out of the 1st group & lost to our CONCACAF rival Panama.
      You say that if the U.S. still would have Berhalter as their coach that maybe you would agree with me. The truth is that is all that we can base it on, as Pochettino is an unknown factor at this point. Until he proves that he can do better than Berhalter, we are simply dealing with assumptions.
      We will see how the U.S. fares in the Nations League in March; but once again, we should not underestimate the huge advantage that the U.S. will have because all of those matches will be played in the U.S.
      Since 2021, Canada & the U.S. have played each other 6 times & both teams won 2 and tied 2.
      When was the last time that the U.S. beat Canada in Canada? It was in 1997.
      I guess that this is the nature of international sport, in that we tend to see things more from our own country's perspective.
      We have probably taken this argument as far as we can take it "and never the twain shall meet". I respect your arguments & it will be exciting to see how the U.S. team will play under Pochettino & if Canada can continue to improve under Marsch.
      The 2025 Nations League playoffs should be both very interesting & fun to watch.

    I don’t think you hate Ecuador. I think you underrate them. One of y’all just said you can’t crack the top 3 without offense but place Paraguay who has 8 goals ahead of them. Ecuador has had a tough schedule so far which leads to fewer goals and have also had a very subpar manager. Like y’all and to be fair almost everyone these managers underrate Ecuador as well. It takes them several games to start to believe in the team. Becca is proving to be far more ambitious than FSB.
    As for Caicedo finally coming into his own….not really, the kid has been performing in a bad set up for a couple of seasons now. A couple of highlight blunders and some really bad press weigh him down. Is he better than he was …Absolutely but that doesn’t mean he has been bad. And he has always been great for Ecuador. As for the sputtering offense..they just needed to be unleashed. They toyed with Bolivia and were all over Colombia…not defending but attacking until Hincapie got sent off. They finished both games against Brazil and Uruguay playing on their half. And that Brazil goal was a rebound and a fluke.

      We did, the last WCQ. Doesn’t matter if there was a trophy or not, it’s the fairest tournament in our region as everyone has to play a home and away game, unlike the GC and NL which always gives the US home field advantage. Combine that with the best performance at the Copa for CONCACAF, the “hasn’t won anything” argument doesn’t hold up. But OK, I get the argument about being tied with the US in their rankings, and in just over 2 short months we’ll have another chance. Of course the deck will again be stacked against us, considering CONCACAF decided to host these games just next to Mexico.
