superbrad Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Anyone know when it would start for us? I went to the Concacrap website and see the minnows have been playing... see here. http://www.concacaf.com/page/WCQ/Schedule/0,,12813,00.html Couldn't find anything else.

sloth8 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 According to FIFA, the matches for Round Two are supposed to be played from September 2 to November 15. http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/loc/01/44/46/33/2014fwc_drawprocedures_northcentralamericacaribbean.pdf The Wikipedia entry is pretty good too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%28CONCACAF%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ed Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 So we should be solid into the 3rd round (3 groups of 4 teams, top 2 from each advance to 4th and final round - the hex). Only dicey bit is that we have a 1 in 6 chance of drawing Guatemala into our group of 4 in the 2nd round. Nobody else looks too dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "one in six", you mean "of course we're going to end up drawing Guatemala into our group." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 By "one in six", you mean "of course we're going to end up drawing Guatemala into our group." Goes without saying. lol. I do like the fact that we get more games with the extra group round. Time to work on things such as ---- scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-collins Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Just out of curiosity, in all groups is it home-and-away? (I'm thinking specifically of round 4 aka the hex) i.e. would you end up with 10 qualifying games in the final round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbrad Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 The reason I was asking in the first place is for travel plans. I assume big games will be in TO. I don't want to travel to see the minnows (married = limited budget). But if we make the third round, our first home game (much like last go-round), should be early next summer. My biggest concern is, well, making it to the third round. The way Canadian soccer is going I'm not feeling real positive. And - as Rudi says, we'll probably get Guatemala.....

JamboAl Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 We should be terrified of Belize. They won that one game 5-2. I wouldn't worry about Belize...they'll get rebanned by FIFA and voila, Canada has Montserrat in its group (plus the Caymans and Saint Kitts & Nevis). And if we don't qualify from that group, I'd blame the Asian betting syndicates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Virgin Islands, Bahamas and Dominican Republic are through to 2nd round. Aruba has a 4-2 lead over St. Lucia, but the 2nd leg is in St. Lucia so it's not over just yet for them. If we draw DR in this stage I'm booking a cheap vacation and catching that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little CONCACAF non corruption!! Finally! How any credible organization would run it, with officials from each country on hand to witness.

JamboAl Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Belize was suspended and then lifted. They play the 2nd leg on the 17th. Having read that the Belize Government wants to sort out their "corrupt" FA, I can't see how they are going to resolve this to FIFA's non government interference standards before the July 30th draw. And BTW, the return leg is in San Pedro Sula, Honduras because the gov't won't provide the required security support for the match in Belize.

Alex Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I read somewhere they have until august to sort it out and that progress was being made that's why they got to play a return leg in Honduras. Could you imagine if they were suspended and Montserrat went through? They can't even play on their island and half of it is abandoned because of volcanic activity Just checked it said midnight aug 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdroze Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 A little CONCACAF non corruption!! Finally! How any credible organization would run it, with officials from each country on hand to witness. But this draw is actually done by FIFA, not CONCACAF. So our good buddy Sepp will have his fingers all over this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
