The boys get together to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the World of Concacaf Podcast! Eric, Donald and Jonathan reminisce on the beginnings of the pod and talk about what makes Concacaf special as we look back on our 80+ episodes. To mark the grand occasion, friend of the pod Jon Arnold of Getting CONCACAFed joins (18:58) to talk about how far soccer in the region has come over the last five years and where it's going. The boys wrap up with some thoughts on the whole thing, how miserable Hamilton, Ontario is, and appreciation for our region.

The guys get back together to talk through the FIFA World Cup Draw, from the nonsense that was the draw itself to the results for our Concacaf member nations. The path for Mexico, Canada, USA, Curacao, Haiti and Panama is set, while we wait on March's playoff for Jamaica and Suriname. Then, the Concacaf Champions Cup draw is discussed (44:08), addressing Nashville's inability to avoid Inter Miami. 

But the big announcement at the end is that we have partnered with Stimulus Athletic to create WORLD OF CONCACAF PODCAST jerseys and teamwear! Now it's not just Anguilla that looks good, it's the pod too!
