reidjr Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Does canada have any chance of making it to the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildguy27 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I think they have a 40% chance. Hopefully they do, but it will be close I predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpopulistfutebol Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 It depends. I think they have a better shot this time then they did in 2005. It depends on how they play their first game. Canada must get at least a draw in game for for any chance. If they do, their chances of making it past the first round increase by I say 20%-40% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 8 out of 12 teams make it to the QF's in the Gold Cup. We would need to finish in third with 3 points or less and a shoddy GD to not make it through.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktci Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 This seems like as good a place as any to link to Sstackho's story of "our proudest moment", the day Canada's heroic warriors beat 10-man Martinique. (Scroll down about halfway.) (I'd been looking in the forums for this for awhile and thought I'd link to it for those who haven't previously seen it or for those who wanted to relive that great day.)

redhat Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Love sstackho's "Guatemalan referee Carlos "Blind as a" Batres" description. The referee can make or break any effort our boys would provide on the field. The 2005 edition gave quite a few breaks for the Ticos (eg. red card to McKenna) and to the Americans (eg. no card to Donovan for striking Braz). And the 2003 junior ref edition missed a few calls when we played the Cubans. And nor should I remind everyone about the CONCACAF referees that insisted that our Honduras games must all end in a tie during 2004 WCQ. There are still nightmares about that Mexican ref disallowing the go-ahead goal with a phantom infringement call. (Archundia ...) I would say we have a better than 60% chance of advancing, only to be limited by the incompetant CONCACAF officiating. As for our finest moment, I think it's the one where we surprised Mexico in the QF's in 2000. And Hastings is back on our team this time ...

villus Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I loved this line after Jim Brennan misses his penalty "and is emmediately cut from the WCQ 2006 squad" That was a great read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
