Thanks.

Guatemalan ref is pissed at Canada for playing there in these conditions, and it taking it out on them...

Question for anyone who might know, why is it that most of the Mexico squad is playing in their domestic league? Seems like their last generation stars were largely in Europe (Chicharito, Vela, Guadardo, Dos Santos, etc.).

That has to be it.

Well the bad news is tonight was the results we didn't want. We didn't get a win (though it could have been worse). Canada is taking three, Panama came back again and took 6 this window, and all four are now within 2 points. We do still have a goal differential advantage over Panama and Mexico with a one point lead as well. But Canada now has a two goal differential advantage and a point on us if they hold this lead.

The other bad news is that Canada and Mexico have played one of the other top fours twice, and us and Panama still have all three left.

To close, Panama has at Mexico, at us and home to Canada as three of their last four, so they may move out in front of us short term before they hit that. Their final window is at US and then home to Canada, so that's what this is coming down to for all three of us. We close home to Panama and then at CR. If it comes down to that final game I might have a stroke before it's over. Our qualification without having to do intercontinental may well be that home Panama match. Mexico will find a way.

good news is that the top four are pretty clearly defined. We won't finish worse than fourth barring a meltdown. Our next window is home to El Salvador and Honduras, at Canada. Can really do some damage there and ease the worry.

Yep - Canada are showing some quality. Lots of composure in tight spaces. Lots of speed.

There is the cherry on top. The Canadian took an arm to the face. It's a caution. No card. And he just stands over the poor guy who isn't moving. For like 90 seconds he just stands there. And finally just waves on the medics.

Was rooting for the keeper to backhand the ref.

Typical Mexican ****housery. What a bunch of classless losers. F*** them.

I think of the US, Canada, Panama and Mexico, the one that should be the most concerned is Mexico!

Eh they definitely have easiest schedule left
oragator

Yeah,..Four of their last six are at home (including us and Panama) and they've already played Canada twice.
That's why I said they'll find a way,
It's three teams for two auto spots basically.

It feels like us vs Panama
I wonder when sites will be announced
oragator

Even though they have the two Mexico games out of the way, four of Canada's last six are on the road.
In the next cycle they fly down to Central America, fly home to play us and back down to Central America. So I don't think they're a lock quite yet. And they close with Panama too, in Panama. That could help us in either direction. And if we get a draw up there they have one home game left to pull 3 expected points.
I still think it's three for 2.

From what I've read, the sites for our two home games that window are somewhat dependent on where Canada chooses to send us for the MIDDLE match.
