If they beat El Slavador Wednesday and Costa Rica loses or draws against Jamaica, OR if Canada ties and Costa Rica loses, Canada clinches at least 4th place, which is a playoff with what is certain to be New Zealand. So yeah, they're gonna get in. We should at least be able to qualify for that 4th spot. We're 5 points clear of Costa Rica right now with 4 left to play. If we somehow choke this one like we did in 2018, I'm gonna be so pissed.

Of course I think we can still get 3rd. We just need to take care of business at home against Panama and Honduras and at least get a point in the 2 road games. Edited January 31, 20224 yr by chw42

Do you not remember what this team did in last qualifier in what was essentially a play-in game?

January 31, 20224 yr Oh, and can somebody please buy the rights to WC qualifying and Champ Lg away from CBS/Paramount? Worst production and announcing of the four networks that do soccer.

Eh, the USA has way more talent than Canada and is producing a ton of guys getting signed by teams in Europe’s top leagues right now.

Yeah but they don't play well as a team despite the talent, especially when they're not playing in the US. Canada may not be as talented but they're really coming out of nowhere. They didn't even make it to the hex 4 years ago.

That’s different than being surpassed though and I think the US federation hiring a shitty manager based solely on nepotism is contributing to the mediocre results despite there being the most talent the US has ever had.

I could see maybe playing Mexico there, but even then I don't think it's a good idea.
