xabuep2 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nice draw ! Canada in group B with Costa Rica and Trinidad & Tobago. If wins then face Jamaica or Panama . Mexico and the USA in groups C and D . http://www.prensaescrita.com/adiario.php?codigo=AME&pagina=http://www.panamaamerica.com.pa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFC07 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Great draw for Canada able to avoid USA and Mexico until finals. Not sure how talented current under 17 team is but at least they should qualify for quarterfinals. Hopefully they avoid playing against Panama until semi-finals (Panama is host nation and I am sure there will be a huge support for them from locals).

tyler453 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 There's one thing about the Panamanian side that we should factor in, that being that these kids are under 17 YOA and have most likely never played in front of a crowd of even 1000 before. The amount of pressure that these Panamanian kids might feel being in front of a possible crowd of 32000 at Estadio Rommel Fernandez could cause them to collapse and the opponent to flourish.

Ivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Our U17s beat Panama twice in friendlies, in Panama.Tied Costa Rica, in Costa Rica, on a late penalty (for Costa Rica). So their lead-up has been good, but as we saw with the U20s, doesn't mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 U20's have shown us warm up games mean nothing if the coach gets it all wrong at the tounament itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squizz1402635577 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Do we know it there's going to be a stream available for the tournie? I would expect so. Usually CONCACAF/FIFA are good with making streams of some sort available for their official matches -- for instance, Canada's qualifiers for the last U17 World Cup were available.
