A Box Score Network podcast discussing the chaotic world of soccer in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Between NYCFC and Costa Rica, Alonso Martínez is a CONCACAF superstar in the making, if he isn’t one already. And he’s likely going to be the difference in this series.
A really well taken goal from Alonso Martínez to give New York City the lead in Charlotte 🇨🇷⚽ #NYCFC

This game was nuts!

- Philly strongly up 2-0 late
- Former Union CB Jack Elliott scored a banger of an equalizer after getting a crucial header on Chicago’s first goal
- Oregel red card, pushing and shoving continues into the shootout
- Philly manages to survive

Orlando’s garbage-time consolation goal notwithstanding, this was a complete ass kicking by the Fire. Greggg and the boys have the vibes off the charts in Chicago.
Turns out Fire roars louder. #cf97

We’ve got two matchdays left in qualifying and Suriname is in position to make the World Cup. CONCACAF is beautiful 🇸🇷

The underdog stories are fading in Group C, but we are setting up for a Nov. 18 meeting between Costa Rica and Honduras in San Jose that could be winner-take-all for direct World Cup qualification.
October 14, 2025 at 11:16 AM
Costa Rica and Honduras decided to have a rock fight instead of playing a soccer match, which means Haiti is top of the group!

Les Grenadiers have a chance to qualify for their first World Cup since 1974.

3 draws from 3 matches for the Ticos is crazy, also

Bit of a rock fight in the second half (see: tournament’s leading scorer getting 2 shithousery yellows in stoppage time) but Nashville will be happy with the hardware.

NSC will return to CONCACAF Champions Cup after a round of 16 appearance in 2024.
Stay Gold, Nashville SC
October 2, 2025 at 2:19 AM
Both sides with spells as the better team, both sides with great finishes from their No. 10. Should be a fun second half!
What a first half in Austin.

Are we getting grouped at the World Cup because we lost to South Korea? Are we winning the whole thing because we beat Japan? Should we play a 3-man back line in perpetuity? Is Alex Zendejas winning the Golden Boot next summer?

Gonna be a fun pod this week!

GOOD EVENING. CAN I INTEREST YOU IN A SURINAME WORLD CUP BID!?
Final whistle in San Salvador! Suriname has its first win of the final round with a 2-1 victory & ends September with four points.

It’s one step forward, one back for El Salvador - losing at home after the huge road win v. Guatemala.
